Why doesn't cweagans/composer-patches install my custom patch for drupal/slick?

Basically, I have installed slick module and customised code and created a patch file using "git diff" command. Slick module file path is modules/contrib/slick/ directory. Below is the code that i have written in the composser.json file.

"require": {
        "drupal/slick": "^2.7",
}

----------------------------------

"patches": {
  "drupal/slick": {
  "Slick custom changes": "patches/slick/slick.patch"
},

But when running composer install, it just removes this slick package from "modules/contrib/slick, but does not reinstall or add the patch.

If i remove "Slick custom changes": "patches/slick/slick.patch" from composer.json and execute composer install cmd then it install slick module.

How to avoid removing this package and applying the patch?

git apply > "patches/slick/slick.patch" executes successfully and apply patches. But composer install fails to apply patch.

"cweagans/composer-patches" is already installed.

Below is the patch code

A few things to know up-front:

1. Composer patches has the concept of patch-levels. These correspond to the [-p strip-count] option of the patch command (and same for git apply).

   If you're not familiar with that option, it basically tells patch how many portions of the file path to strip off to find the files being patched. Or in other words, how many forward slashes and their preceding strings should be removed from the start of the path string.

2. The package (module)'s path is used as the working directory for applying a patch (not the project root).

3. By default, the plugin will make different attempts to apply the patch, in this order, failing silently until they're all exhausted:

   • -p1
   • -p0
   • -p2
   • -p4

   These are presumably the most common.

If you look at the paths in your patch:

diff --git a/docroot/modules/contrib/slick/css/layout/slick.module.css b/docroot/modules/contrib/slick/css/layout/slick.module.css

And apply the rules above, you need to remove 5 slashes to get the correct path (not 1, 0, 2, or 4), so the default fails.

There are two ways to fix:

1. Change the paths in the patch file to, e.g.

   diff --git a/css/layout/slick.module.css b/css/layout/slick.module.css
   

   Above will satisfy -p1, you could also change it to match a different level

2. Set the patchLevel manually for the project in composer.json:

   "extra": {
     ...
     "patchLevel": {
       ...
       "drupal/slick: "-p5"
     }
   }
   

If you use the second option, keep in mind it will apply to any patch you use for that module, so mixing local patches with ones from drupal.org won't work. The first option is probably best for predictability.

For future reference, you can create your patches with -p1 compatibility by using git options:

git -C path/to/modified/module diff --relative

This would get you the same as the first fix above:

diff --git a/css/layout/slick.module.css b/css/layout/slick.module.css

As already pointed out, it should be ./patches/ if you have the patches folder in the Drupal root directory.

Furthermore, I see you're using a dev version that is fixed so it cannot be updated

"cweagans/composer-patches": "1.x-dev#4f3414441522dfeecff697f061ce27412a2b677b",

Instead, it should be

"cweagans/composer-patches": "^1.7",

So do the following:

1. Remove the patch code part

           ,
           "drupal/slick": {
               "MTE-8015 - Slick slider changes 1": "./patches/slick/slick.patch"
           }
   

2. Remove composer remove cweagans/composer-patches

3. Re-add composer require cweagans/composer-patches

   • This should install 1.7 version. If not, do composer require cweagans/composer-patches:^1.7

4. Re-add the patch code from #1

5. Delete the module folder sudo rm -rf web/modules/contrib/slick/

Not sure if it's just me, but I could've sworn step #5 wasn't necessary! I just did this routine 2 days ago.. Updating the patches section alone should be good enough. But for some reason it's not working for me today. I think something funky must be going on somewhere... or I'm just not remembering correctly.

6. Run composer update --lock and it should apply your patch
