Drupal extracted and added 0 new files

The infamous "0 new files" message!

When you run a Drupal update or install a new module/theme, you might see a message like "Extracted and added 0 new files" in the update status report. This can be a bit misleading, as it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing was updated or installed.

Here are some possible reasons why you might see this message:

  1. No new files were added: It's possible that the update or installation didn't require any new files to be added to your Drupal site. For example, if the update only included changes to the database or configuration files, you wouldn't see any new files being added.
  2. Files were updated in place: If the update or installation included changes to existing files, Drupal might not report any new files being added. Instead, it might update the existing files in place, without creating new ones.
  3. Files were removed: Conversely, if the update or installation removed some files, you might see a "0 new files" message, even though files were actually removed.
  4. Error during extraction: It's possible that there was an error during the extraction process, which prevented new files from being added. Check the update status report for any error messages that might indicate what went wrong.

If you're concerned about the "0 new files" message, you can try the following:

  1. Check the update status report: Review the update status report to see if there were any errors or warnings during the update process.
  2. Verify the installation: Manually verify that the update or installation was successful by checking the site's functionality and configuration.
  3. Check the file system: Use a file manager or FTP client to verify that the expected files were added or updated.
