Hi, can someone help me? What is the correct config name (first parameter) for "drupal config:import:single" command? I want to import single confoguration via console. Thanks!

jmolivas’s picture

@mkolar:

Exporting single

$ drupal config:export:single system.site 

Import single

$ drupal config:import:single system.site  /path/to/system.site.yml

You can
* Use --help to see the command information or
* Visit the documentation https://hechoendrupal.gitbooks.io/drupal-console/content/en/commands/con...
* Ask on our support channel: https://gitter.im/hechoendrupal/DrupalConsole

NOTE: I am currently working on improving the config commands, fee free to add any issue or feature request at https://github.com/hechoendrupal/DrupalConsole/issues/new

Could anyone tell me the windows install procedure?

jmolivas’s picture

Must be the same as other OS, are you experiencing an issue ?

# Run this in your terminal to get the latest Console version:  
curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar  

# Or if you don't have curl:  
php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal.phar
mhmd’s picture

What about moving those features inside drush or even being installed and run the commands as a drush command As many users used to drush

jmolivas’s picture

@mhmd: I spent a couple of days working with Greg Anderson a drush co-maintainer and he sent a PR based on the work we did:
https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/pull/1337 but not much traction generated and not yet commited.

This PR allows you to run Drupal Console command via drush as drush commands since it registers all of the Drupal Console commands as drush commands.

I've a drupal module in 8, in which I've 5 modules and 2 taxonomies, which I've exported as configurations using drupal console. I'm creating these content types and taxonomies on installing the module, It is working fyn when I'm installing it through the UI. When I try drush it is not working. One of the content types is related to the taxonomy field. So it is showing some error like this. The Environment bundle (entity type: taxonomy_term) was deleted. As a result, the field_environment_db entity reference field [error] (entity_type: node, bundle: database_config) no longer has any valid bundle it can reference. The field is not working correctly anymore and has to be adjusted. So I would like to know whether we can tell the order in which the content types and taxonomies to be created

Greetings,

I have version 0.9.8 installed. I got an exception of 'generate:form' command is not defined. I try to upgrade my installation with 'self-update' but the info i got is 'The latest version 0.9.8, was already installed on your system'. Anyone please help?

Thanks,

jmolivas’s picture

@chill8331 try using the installer to get the latest version

# Run this in your terminal to get the latest project version:
curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar

# Or if you don't have curl:
php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal.phar

# Accessing from anywhere on your system:
mv drupal.phar /usr/local/bin/drupal

# Apply executable permissions on the downloaded file:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/drupal

@jmolivas, Thanks, it worked.

Just leave a note for anyone might encounter the same issue i do:
I download the newest version as the mannual. Run 'drupal list' command. The note saying 'try to run this under drupal project'. Then i switch to my 'www' folder to run it again.(I'm using windows7, and env path setup) Then i got some SQL error note.(It's quite strange i didn't aware what's going on.) After i checked everything, It turns out my WAMP is not start up yet... Start WAMP, It works as normal.

I'm trying to install DrupalConsole. Everything seems to have went ok. But running:

drupal check

nothing happens?

I used this method:

# Run this in your terminal to get the latest project version:
curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar

# Accessing from anywhere on your system:
mv drupal.phar /usr/local/bin/drupal

# Apply executable permissions on the downloaded file:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/drupal

# Copy configuration files to user home directory:
drupal init --override

# Check and validate system requirements
drupal check

When i check error_log i see this:

[27-Jun-2016 18:25:30 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'drupal.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in phar:///usr/local/bin/drupal/bin/drupal on line 3

I'm installing on CentOS 7.2

Does anyone know what i'm missing or what i have done wrong? https://drupalconsole.com/ does not mention anything about drupal.php file?

We found a solution at: https://github.com/hechoendrupal/DrupalConsole/issues/1842

Someone mentioned disabling Ioncube Loader and that fixed this issue as well.

glad to read is fixed.

Thanks for the install instructions. I've got console running and most commands work perfectly.

drupal site:mode dev, however, always returns [ERROR] Command "site:mode", is not a valid command name.

Any thoughts/help?
