On Cloud IDE, manually to include the local.settings.php file

[joshirohit100]

In vendor/acquia/drupal-recommended-settings/settings/acquia-recommended.settings.php

for local development, local settings files are included by below snippet -

if (EnvironmentDetector::isLocalEnv()) {
  $settings_files[] = DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/settings/local.settings.php';
  $settings_files[] = DRUPAL_ROOT . "/sites/$site_name/settings/local.settings.php";
}

this condition EnvironmentDetector::isLocalEnv() doesn't work in cloud ide because there in cloud IDE, this variable is set AH_SITE_ENVIRONMENT and thus have to manually add the require line/condition in settings.php for the local development

Hi @joshirohit100
Sorry, but the issue is not clear to me. Why local.settings.php needs to be included for CloudIDE ?

[joshirohit100]

Cloud IDE is the local (on cloud) development environment.
As per drupal standard practice, we don;t do any change in settings.php file (if not commiting the changes) and thus for any development related changes like CSS/JS aggregarion, development service, DB connection etc, we create separate file for local development and define those.

This works fine if environment is not cloud IDE

In case of cloud IDE, this condition is not true as some environment variable is set (AH_*) and thus these development files are not included and has to create manually these files.
