I'm using D7 and I'm seeing the following error message any time I try to use Drush to install a module:

This codebase is assembled with Composer instead of Drush. Use composer update and composer require instead of drush pm-updatecode and drush pm-download. You may override this error by using the --pm-force option.

Why does Drush generate that error message? The website was not built using Composer (though there are other Composer-based Drupal project on the same web server).

FWIW, using the --pm-force option works just fine. I would just understand the reason of that error message.

  • The website with the drush message does not have a compser.json file. Another Drupal website located in a different directory does not get the above message. Both sites are using the same version of Drush (version 8.1.15).

It comes from a command file like policy.drush.inc.

    This is helpful, but I'm still trying to figure out why one website is generating the message and another is not, when as far I can tell they are otherwise identical (same version of Drupal, same version of Drush).
