Remove braintree/braintree_php from magento/magento2-base

[andparsons]

Summary (*)

braintree/braintree_php is required in magento/magento2-base when the only module that relies on that dependancy is magento/module-braintree, which also has braintree/braintree_php as a dependancy

I am not composer requiring magento/product-community-edition but instead magento/magento2-base with a subset of Magento modules, which I believe is a better practice than using composer's replace property to remove unused dependancies.

I don't want braintree/braintree_php to be installed as none of the modules I'm using make use of it.

Examples (*)

N/A

Proposed solution

I am suggesting removing braintree/braintree_php from magento/magento2-base, but not from magento/product-community-edition or magento/product-enterprise-edition

This should allow for braintree/braintree_php to only be installed via composer if magento/module-braintree is part of the resolved dependancies, and will keep braintree/braintree_php in the root composer.json if composer requiring magento/product-*-edition or cloning from git.

Other dependancies like msp/recaptcha have the ideal setup, where they get removed from magento/magento2-base when the composer.json package is created.

I don't believe I can create a pull request for this from the public GitHub repo.

I confirm that I am able to reproduce the issue on vanilla Magento. It's just composer bundle changes after all.

Hi @andparsons, I created a pull request as I agree with your proposal.

@andparsons and @BrentRobert, please, don't forget that Magento can be installed from the Git, how in this case Braintree SDK will be loaded if you remove it from the root composer json?

[BrentRobert]

I kinda forgot about that, my bad

[andparsons]

@joni-jones and @BrentRobert, thanks for your input guys, but as I said this is a change needed when bundling for magento/magento2-base, which I believe the process for that is not public.

Hopefully someone from the core team is still going to look at this issue.

There is definitely no possibility to make pull request for this from the public GitHub repo. Marked as Feature Request cc @sdzhepa

@sdzhepa: can we somehow open up the script/repo to the public for the magento2-base package and/or composer metapackage? There are a bunch of tiny little tweaks the community wants to accomplish (https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/22359 comes to mind and there are some others I think). These aren't very high priority. But if the community can not help out, it will probably never happen if only the core team will pick it up when they feel like it. Thanks!

Hello @hostep

Unfortunately, after so long delay and multiple times raising this question internally, I did not receive a clear answer for

"can we somehow open up the script/repo to the public for the magento2-base package and/or composer metapackage?".

In general, as I understood there are a couple of difficulties and policies that do not allow us to do it.

I will move this ticket into the community-feature repository to be considering one more time there

[hostep]

Thanks for trying to pursue this @sdzhepa!

Seems like it has been handled in https://github.com/magento/magento2/commit/7400615 :+1:
