Drops of Drupal

#005 Multisite Module Clean Up

During the lifetime of a project, you need to remove modules that are not being used. Using drush pm:list you can find disabled non-core modules, which are candidates for composer remove. Module cleanup can be challenging for a multisite because one site may have a module installed and another may not.

This Drop provides an approach for gathering the information you need to make multisitecomposer remove decisions. The script below exports a list of disabled modules of each site to the .csv file. It also combines the results into a single .csv file.

The script below uses Lando for a local environment, drush and Miller (https://miller.readthedocs.io) for manipulating the CVS file.

#!/bin/bash

# List of drush aliases for each multisite
SiteList="site1 site2 site3 site4"

# Loop through the list of sites
for site in $SiteList; do
 # Run drush pm:list againts dev environment and export to a .csv file
 lando drush @$site.dev pm:list --status=disabled --fields="package,name,status" --no-core --format=csv > $site.csv
 # Remove last line of .cvs file, a drush disconnect message, you may not need this
 sed -i '$d' $site.csv
 # Use miller to add a column with the site name and append to single .csv
 mlr --csv put '$Site = "'$site'"' $site.csv >> all-sites.csv
done

The resulting all-sites.csv will look similar to:

With a few formulas, you can summarize how many times a module is disabled. In this example, there are four websites; therefore, any module disabled four times is a candidate for removal. Modules crop and crop_media_entity are not enabled on any of the multisites.
