i have installed the coder_upgrade module, and placed the unpacked d7 module inside the <docroot>/files/coder_upgrade/new/ directory. the module i am trying to port is the php (php filter) module from d7 core.
when i select the module and click "convert files", i get the white screen of death. when i turn on error display, i get this:
Fatal error: Class 'SearchApiAbstractService' not found in /home3/wxvmwlmy/public_html/.domains/polygonpolitics.com/modules/metatag/tests/metatag_search_test.module on line 22
clearly something is not right. do i need to do something different (from what is described in the instructions on the module page on backdropcms.org) since it is a core module, and also actually a sub-module ?
You have to place the D7 module in the OLD directory: <backdrop_root>/files/coder_upgrade/old/
See: https://backdropcms.org/project/coder_upgrade -> Installation and usage -> 6.
The error message is generated by Metatag module. (I could reproduce the error message. I created an issue: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/metatag/issues/34 )
If You want to convert the D7 module, first You have to uninstall the Metatag module, AND delete the directory of Metatag: <backdrop_root>/modules/metatag
