When working on Drupal it is often useful to change your local development.services.yml to enable certain development features and make debugging your application easier.

e.g. This is basically taken from default.services.yml file with certain parameters changed to provide a more friendly development environment, depending on what you are working on. This can be adjusted to suit but hopefully will give you an idea. Notice how this gives us the ability to override various parameters and services to suit.

In a previous article I have looked at running Drupal's Nightwatch and PHPUnit Tests using Drupal's Quickstart development environment. Today, I will look at how to run all the the PHP Unit Tests using a headless version of chrome.

Setting up Headless Chrome Image

Within your project root within the .ddev folder create a new YAML file and call it docker-compose.chromedriver.yaml

I recently realised that I was getting some strange behaviour when running Drupal X on Plesk Obsidian, when set to use PHP is run by and FPM application served with with nginx, such as the index.php showing on links and navigation items. Turns out I needed to add some additional configuration to get this working correctly.

This is a wip but hopefully provides some reference for my self and other who want to configure Drupal correctly when hosting on a Plesk server.

For a few years now, quite a lot of effort has gone into making Drupal work in a Headless or Restful state. This has led to the creation of modules such as the subrequests module that allows any set of requests to be aggregated together.
