Bootstrap failed

Question

I have Drupal 8.8.1 and Drush 10.1.1, both installed with Composer.

I'm running the following to update my site DB:

$ drush updb

In BootstrapHook.php line 32:

  Bootstrap failed. Run your command with -vvv for more information.  

As it suggests I run with the -vvv flag to get more information:

$ drush updb -vvv
Begin redispatch via drush_invoke_process().                                                                               [notice]

In BootstrapHook.php line 32:

  [Exception]

Can anyone advise on how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Delete drush from vendor directory

Go to DRUPAL_ROOT:

rm -Rf vendor/drush # in case of Linux system

composer install # Will reinstall requisite drush verion from composer.lock file

It worked for me as well as building again detects the site_path to connect database properly

can refer as well Bootstrap failing with Drush 9.1.0

Answer 2

The clue is in the "status" message, which shows the site path is sites/default. In previous versions of Drush, I was able to just change the current directory to the directory containing the settings.php file and Drush would detect the site. Drush 9/10 seems to require I specify it.

Running drush updb --uri=http:example.com from the DRUPAL_ROOT/web directory worked perfectly.

Answer 3

I have the error while deploying to server

In BootstrapHook.php line 32:
                                                                     
Bootstrap failed. Run your command with -vvv for more information. 

After run drush -vvv I saw an error connected with wrong credentials to DB.
So it can be caused also by wrong credentials/.env file.
