Problem/Motivation

recipe.yml of Lupus Decoupled Starter 2.2.0 includes four Drupal CMS recipes, with the comment "Regular Drupal-CMS stuff - see drupal_cms_site_template_base/recipe.yml":

recipes:
  - drupal_cms_admin_ui
  - drupal_cms_authentication
  - drupal_cms_media
  - drupal_cms_seo_basic

In Drupal CMS 2.2, drupal_cms_site_template_base no longer includes these recipes, and drupal/drupal_cms_starter:^2 (required by the template) no longer pulls them in. composer.json of the template does not require them either. So they are not in the project, and the installation stops with:

Can not find the drupal_cms_admin_ui recipe, search path: …/recipes

Steps to reproduce

  1. composer create-project drupal/cms test (Drupal CMS 2.2.1)
  2. Add the template: composer require drupal/lupus_decoupled_starter (currently needs the fix from the Canvas ExtJS issue, report #13).
  3. Install Drupal CMS and choose Lupus Decoupled Starter, or drush site:install drupal_cms_installer installer_site_template_form.add_ons=lupus_decoupled_starter.
  4. The installation stops with the error above.

Proposed resolution

Require the four recipes in the template's composer.json:

"drupal/drupal_cms_admin_ui": "^2",
"drupal/drupal_cms_authentication": "^2",
"drupal/drupal_cms_media": "^2",
"drupal/drupal_cms_seo_basic": "^2"

Tested: with these four packages added to the project, the recipe is found and the template installs (together with the Canvas fix from report #03).

Alternatively, include drupal_cms_site_template_base instead of copying its list, so the template follows future changes of Drupal CMS – if that fits the decoupled setup.

Additional information

Found with Lupus Decoupled Starter 2.2.0, Drupal CMS 2.2.1 (drupal_cms_starter 2.2.0), Drupal core 11.4.8 (September 2026).
