Drupal-project: Trying to install Release Candidate or 8.4 Dev

Created on 11 Sep 2017 · 6Comments · Source: drupal-composer/drupal-project

I like the convience that composer allows for however it would be really nice if it was more clear as to how to use this to install a release candidate (8.4RC at this time) or even to use this on a testing/development server. With the change to Drush 9 and the differences with required libraries etc its a confusing mess and or I have missed some stuff

Thanks in advance

Changing composer.json to:
"drupal/core": "~8.4",
"drush/drush": "~9.0"
and running composer update --with-dependencies
did the work for me.

8.4 should be working fine with update to Drush 8.1.12 or higher but fails re: https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/3033

reason I mention is requiring Drush ^9.0 will mean a lot of Drush commands refactoring in core and contrib modules, like libraries downloads and config-import commands etc.

Not sure if Im on the correct issue here... but seems relevant...
