ddev: error message and instructions for `create-project` are unclear
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues

Expected Behavior
I ran ddev composer create-project joachim-n/drupal-core-development-project
, thinking I would start a new Drupal project for core development, and got:
'ddev composer create-project' is unsupported. Please use 'ddev composer create'
for basic project creation or 'ddev ssh' into the web container and execute
'composer create-project' directly.
This isn’t completely accurate. Running ddev composer create
in a new folder produces an error message:
could not find a project in /Users/joachim/Sites. Have you run 'ddev config'? Please specify a project name or change directories: no .ddev/config.yaml file was found in this directory or any parent
So I ran ddev config
and that asked me what sort of project I want:
Project Type [backdrop, craftcms, django4, drupal10, drupal6, drupal7, drupal8, drupal9, laravel, magento, magento2, php, python, shopware6, silverstripe, typo3, wordpress]
What type should I pick if I want an empty project to then run composer create-project
inside, as suggested by the first error message?
Actual Behavior

That works!
But the error message could do to point the user in the right direction.
