[Scribble] Resolve 403 Forbidden Error on Sandbox Server

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Just to keep a note for future reference only.

(I’ve encountered this issue several times, but my short memory means I always spend a few minutes figuring out the solution again.)

Nothing to dig into really on this matter ….

What Happened ?

After deploying my website from the local environment to a sandbox for UAT purposes—including creating, importing, and configuring the database—I noticed that some required resources were failing to load. For example, JavaScript and CSS files located in /libraries/drupal-superfish return a “403 Forbidden” error, which causes the menu to function abnormally.

Drupal Post Update (add_lange_code) memory exhausted issue fix

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Original Error

After updating to Drupal 10.3.0, there’s this system_post_update_add_langcode_to_all_translatable_config function added to the web/core/modules/system/system.post_update.php update file, which will get triggered when running post update via drush updb or visiting /update.php.

For some site, this seem to run without any hiccups, but for some others, when running drush updb, I got the following:

 -------- ----------------------------------------- ------------- ------------------------------------------------------ 
  Module   Update ID                                 Type          Description

  system   add_langcode_to_all_translatable_config   post-update   Adds a langcode to all simple config which needs it.

Solution-0

This solution worked for me, but I am not so certain as to why it worked …. so use it with caution ! The solution is simple, just run docker compose build cli to build cli service separately first, then run ahoy up as usual.

[Patch] Drupal 10.3 not used/recognised

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Issue / Problem

I faced this issue when working with a “radix” theme on a druapl 10.3.2 website. Upon inspecting the status message block, instead of desired outcome shown in the green rectangle in the screenshot; that is: with hook suggestion and override twig template name suggestion). I’m getting what’s shown in the red rectange.

The issue issue as “prashant.c” described in issue 3456176 - #10:

Mitigation/Solution 1 - Theme Hook

The first solution is proposed in #17 comment under the issue, via creating a theme hook to control the rendering of the system message block:

Drupal - Available Update Page: 'No available releases found'

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Condition-1: Contributed module (with update) not being identified

Solution-1: SQL Query

While checking updates Drupal creates some rows inside the key_value table which should be deleted after checking is complete but looks like they doesn’t for some reason. So deleting the related rows manually solved my problem:
1
DELETE FROM key_value WHERE collection = 'update_fetch_task';
Tou can attempt to resolve it via running the below command in terminal:

Please refer to the attached screenshot for clarification. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue and enabling the file upload field in the form.

[Bug Fix] Composer Unpin Drupal Core From Certain Version

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

#Unpinning from a specific version of core

If you are running a pinned version of Drupal core, and want to update your site to another version, you have two choices.

You can run the composer require command above to specify a new, pinned version of core. You can unpin your core version, and update to the latest version of Drupal. To unpin your version of Drupal, run this command:

`1`	`composer require drupal/core-recommended drupal/core-composer-scaffold drupal/core-project-message --update-with-all-dependencies`

-    if (isset($contexts[$context_id])) {
-      $account = $contexts[$context_id]->getContextValue();
-      unset($account->_skipProtectedUserFieldConstraint);
-      unset($contexts[$context_id]);
-    }
+    if (isset($contexts[$context_id]) && $contexts[$context_id]->hasContextValue()) {
+        $account = $contexts[$context_id]->getContextValue();
+        unset($account->_skipProtectedUserFieldConstraint, $contexts[$context_id]);
