Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.Hello everyone,
I couldn't keep my fingers off Drupal CMS, of course, and installed the thing directly after the release was made.
on /admin/modules/automatic-update-extensions there is a classic wsod with the default sentence
The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.
in /var/log/apache2/error.log i got the same message you can see here:
[Wed Jan 15 20:26:24.418176 2025] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 2471] [client ::1:50228] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\\package_manager\\Exception\\ComposerNotReadyException: "Failed to run process: <em class="placeholder">The command "'/usr/bin/composer' 'validate' '--check-lock' '--no-check-publish' '--with-dependencies' '--no-ansi' '--working-dir=/var/www/cms'" failed.\n\nExit Code: 2(Misuse of shell builtins)\n\nWorking directory: /var/www/cms/web\n\nOutput:\n================\nasm89/stack-cors is valid\ncarbonphp/carbon-doctrine-types is valid\nchi-teck/drupal-code-generator is valid\nclue/stream-filter is valid\ncommerceguys/addressing is valid\ncomposer/installers is valid\ncomposer/semver is valid\nconsolidation/annotated-command is valid\nconsolidation/config is valid\nconsolidation/filter-via-dot-access-data is valid\nconsolidation/log is valid\nconsolidation/output-formatters is valid\nconsolidation/robo is valid\nconsolidation/site-alias is valid\nconsolidation/site-process is valid\ndavedevelopment/stiphle ...', referer: http://localhost/admin/modules

Hopefully I did not miss any critical information.
How to reproduce the issue
Install the latest Drupal CMS Release as usual
login as admin
go to: admin/modules/automatic-update-extensions
that should be enough to reproduce it.

phenaproximaThanks for this detailed bug report! I notice that you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux, which we theoretically support, but don't test with, largely 'cause (AFAIK) GitLab CI doesn't support it.
This is definitely worth investigating, if one of us can rustle up a Windows machine.

joachim namysloThis is not the WSL, I am not sure. The part of the error message that is a mystery to me is
Maybe the code to execute Composer validate is currently being passed incorrectly
Refferences:
1. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/196563
2, https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exitcodes.html
it looks like a bash syntax problem.

joachim namysloWell,
I sat down again and did a bit of debugging. Since Adam suspected that it could be the Windows subsystem for Linux. Instead of Ubuntu in my WSL, I spawned a Debiaian container. Ta-da, suddenly the WSOD is gone. If I can now find out whether the Ubuntu provided for WSL uses a different Bash version than Debian 12 bookworm, which is what I'm currently using, then that would confirm the theory that this is a bug related to Bash. That wouldn't be good, because we can't tell every host out there which Bash version to install to make the Automatic Update Module work. However, it will take some time before I have a final result. I'll be in touch again then.
By the way, I installed exactly the same packages and modules on Debian as listed above. I even used the same package source.
The update will follow as soon as I have reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04 and checked the Bash version and the behavior on the Drupal page mentioned above.
I tested that with a fresh Ubuntu installation now and can tell that Drupal CMS even works on WSL Ubuntu and Debian , but I cannot reproduce it.
Maybe close it with outdated, because I cannot reproduce it right now.
