gatsby-source-wordpress npm run docker-start fails

[lnikell]

Description

I'm trying to make some changes to gatsby-source-wordpress, however, I did not find a guide regarding how to properly contribute to that package. I tried to figure out based on the repository that you use docker with wordpress to run a test environment to experiment with the plugin but when I run 'npm run docker-start' it fails with the following error

It would be great to add to the documentation which files should be created in order to contribute to the plugin. I probably will fix that error later on, however it would be great to get information, what those missing files should actually contain.

      - ./test-site/.env.test
      - ./test-site/.env.plugins

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone latest gatsby repository and use npm install
2. Go to gatsby-source-wordpress and use npm install
3. Run npm run docker-start

Expected result

Should not be an error

Actual result

Error from the description section

I was able to move forward so it seems in .env.plugins should be something like this:

WPGRAPHQL_VERSION=v1.3.5
WPGATSBY_VERSION=v1.0.8
WPGRAPHQL_ACF_VERSION=v0.4.0
WPGRAPHQL_CPT_UI_VERSION=v1.1
ACF_VERSION=master

I'm starting to think that nobody is using that docker configuration for development at all, since the seed/backup.sql has a siteurl and home defined as "https://devgatsbyint.wpengine.com"

@lnikell docker was temporarily disabled when we moved from the gatsby-source-wordpress-experimental repo. I just opened a PR which restores our docker setup for int tests #30938

[lnikell]

thanks, could you give me some recommendations about how to develop this plugin locally, since it requires some dependencies that are not exist in package json and when i try to follow all suggested by Gatsby practices for building/contribution it just does not work.

@lnikell for sure! I'll update that PR ☝️ with a contributing section and let you know when it's there
