I am currently running on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). That is the host machine and OS. I am using a synced folder between the host and my VM, which is running Laravel's Homestead VM (Ubuntu instance).
The project is a Drupal 7 project and I am running the latest version of Drush installed both on Mac OS X (via homebrew) and within the VM (I can't remember how I ended up installing it there). Very new setup, had the machine for a week and a half. Setup this way for maybe a week.
I am able to access and load the site just fine from the VM in my browser. It works great there. But, when I go to use drush against it (both in the VM and in Mac OS) it doesn't seem to give me most of the options.
Within the VM (ssh'ed in) I run "drush pml". Below is the message I get.
Command pm-list needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command. [error]
The drush command 'pml' could not be executed.
I get the same message in Mac OS X. I am running the command from the docroot folder where drupal is installed. Not sure why this is. I could see it happening in the host OS. But it SHOULD be working within the VM that is running it and has the DB installed.
I haven't used Drush or Drupal for 2 years. So I probably forgot an obvious config or something. Please help me out here.
Thanks!
