If the Remote Administration (RA) team has provided you with a generated composer.json file, you must review it to ensure the file specifies all components you need to build your website.

Acquia’s automation generates the composer.json file using an Acquia template and the modules located in your /modules folder following the docroot directory.

When reviewing and testing a newly generated composer.json file, perform the following steps:

1. Review the contents of the generated composer.json file, located above the docroot directory.

2. Ensure all modules included in your codebase have been detected and included in the file.

   Note

   Contributed modules for Drupal are listed in the require section of the composer.json file. The contributed modules included in your codebase are located in your /module folder following the docroot directory, or in the Modules section of the Drupal administrative interface.

3. Ensure your website is functioning as expected with the composer.json file in place. Missing modules or packages in the file may cause performance problems or visible errors on your website.
