SOLVED (see below)
I'm trying to upgrade a Drupal site from 6.34 to 7.x using Drush.
When I run drush site-upgrade @alias
, everything goes well until step 12-a where it ends up throwing this error :
Unknown option: --uninstall. See `drush help pm-disable` for available options. To suppress this error, add the option --strict=0.
I made some search about this and tried a few things :
- I created a file ~/.drush/my.drushrc.php using the example code given here : http://api.drush.org/api/drush/examples%21example.drushrc.php/6.x I then uncommented line 198 :
$options['strict'] = FALSE;
- In that same drushrc file, I added this line :
$command_specific['pm-disable'] = array('strict' => 0);
This solution was proposed here : https://www.drupal.org/node/2074781
- I then tried defining a drush alias in my .bash_aliases (http://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/128974/39434)
alias drush='drush --strict=0'
Neither of these solutions helped, I always get the same error.
OS: Ubuntu 14.10
Drush : 6.2.0
PHP: 5.5.12-2ubuntu4.1 (cli)
I actually solved the issue while asking the question but I figured I would post both the question and its solution in case somebody else has the same problem.
My Drush configuration file was simply misplaced, I had to put it in Drupal's directory (sites/all/drush/drushrc.php) rather than ~/.drush/
When running
drush status
From your Drupal source site directory, make sure there is a Drush configuration loaded.
Drush version : 6.2.0
Drush configuration : /var/www/html/drupal/sites/all/drush/drushrc.php
Drush alias files : /root/.drush/my.alias.drushrc.php
And here is the content of file sites/all/drush/drushrc.php
<?php
$options['strict'] = FALSE;
