Hi all,

trying to create a subtheme via drush:

drush zen "mxtzen"

I receive the following error:

[error] Command zen needs the following module(s) enabled to run: zen.
The drush command 'zen mxtzen' could not be executed.

Trying to enable zen theme first, but always receveing the same error, and my subtheme is not created.

I'm missing something?

Thank you very much

I was having the same problem but got it to work like this:

Update to the latest drush release. I keep drush in a git repo and just pulled and got the latest updates, cleared cache on my local site and in drush and it works now.

I was getting the same problem so I updated drush using, pear upgrade drush/drush
All is good:
upgrade ok: channel://pear.drush.org/drush-5.4.0
Now when I run try to create a subtheme I get the following:

/var/www/drupal/site/default/$ drush zen "asubtheme"
drush: The directory "/var/www//STARTERKIT" was not found.
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.

Hey, maybe we need to make this a documentation issue.

If you've just downloaded Zen, you don't need to enable it, so there's nothing going to clear the cache for you.

You should enable zen theme and set as default and go to your drupalsite root directory then try it

Setting zen as default theme works for me. Not all that handy when upgrading a site theme from a non-responsive to zen...
