TYPO3 Core

Patch set 1 for branch master of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/63558

thanks for creating this issue. we tried to fix this but the same code is also used during installing TYPO3 and everything tightly coupled together this won't change in future. copy from gerrit

Problem here is that the middleware is also used for the first install where the requirements are different. No LocalConfiguration and FIRST_INSTALL file required.

This behaviour breaks by throwing the Exceptions, because in this case the information about how to create FIRST_INSTALL should be shown. So it's fine if everything is FALSE in this scenario.

On the other side in the Install Tool (after the first installation) the same scenario should trigger the Exceptions.

So without any evidence in which context we are currently, I see no possibility to throw exceptions here as this would break the first install.

Bit more detailed:

Scenario 1 (First install):
No FIRST_INSTALL, No LocalConfiguration -> Fine, shows "create FIRST_INSTALL"

Scenario 2 (First install):
FIRST_INSTALL file created, No LocalConfiguration -> Fine, starts the install

Scenario 3 (Install tool):
No FIRST_INSTALL, No LocalConfiguration -> Error as LocalConfiguration is required

Scenario 4 (Install tool):
FIRST_INSTALL file created, No LocalConfiguration -> (current behaviour) Fine, starts the install

Please correct me if I misunderstood something, but many different approaches failed in at least one scenario.

therefore I am closing this issue

Can confirm that this is VERY unfortunate -

This is still present in v11 with a fresh DDEV install.
