I am getting a weird error when attempting to use Drush.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function variable_get() in /home/1000/.drush/backups/pantheon/20161102190143/modules/xmlsitemap/xmlsitemap.drush.inc on line 29
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.
Error: Call to undefined function variable_get() in /home/1000/.drush/backups/pantheon/20161102190143/modules/xmlsitemap/xmlsitemap.drush.inc, line 29

I have disabled and removed the xmlsitemap module, but it looks like it is referencing some weird backup version of the module.

  • How about clear site and drush cache? Can it fix?

The function variable_get doesn't exist in Drupal 8. I suggest just removing ~/.drush/backups/pantheon/20161102190143/modules/xmlsitemap/xmlsitemap.drush.inc or moving ~/.drush/backups to ~/.drushbackups if you can control this.

Your problem is probably caused by the fact that you are putting the backup inside the ~/.drush directory and Drush is parsing code/files in that directory.

  • Thanks - I'm using 7 but it seems to have worked itself out when creating a new instance based off of my most recent commit to a dev server.

  • OK, so I missed about your version of Drupal (that is why you should include as much info as possible when asking a question), but I'm 100% correct about the cause of the problem. I just download the xmlsitemap module into my .drush folder and, pang, I got the "undefined function variable_get()" (under Drupal 7 and an old Drush). I guess Drush is parsing the files in .drush folder before it bootstraps Drupal.
