Drush: Unknown option: --invoke. See `drush help core-status` for available options [#2068119]

unknown option "--invoke" causes error on "drush [alias] status" using alias for remote site
looks like --invoke is passed as option to ssh
"drush [alias] ssh" works - so does "drush status"
drush installed on CentOS via pear install drush/drush

just like the message sez:

drush --strict=0 @ALIASNAME status

works

and adding strict => '0' to alias works:

$aliases['ALIASNAME'] = array(
  'root' => '/var/www/html/DRUPALROOT',
  'uri' => 'URI',
  'remote-host' => 'REMOTEIP',
  'remote-user' => 'decibelplaces',
  'strict' => '0',
  'path-aliases' => array(
    '%files' => 'sites/default/files'
  ),
);

so now I know the the fix, but why necessary?

How current is your Drush6 on the local side (the remote side doesn't matter in this case)? Please update to 6.0.0 tag or track the new master branch on Github.

It would be ideal if you could report back quickly, since we have not announced the 6.0.0 release and this would be a major bug. I can't reproduce it with latest Drush.

The symptoms in #1 are consistent with using Drush 5 (or an earlier revision from the Drush 6 branch) to execute a remote command on a machine that has Drush 6 installed.

Reopen in https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues if necessary, but I think this behaves as intended. If this is viewed as serious, we could always add --invoke as a hidden, do-nothing global option in Drush 6.

I posted a pull request based on greg's idea in #3. Lets work there.

I can confirm that I was using Drush v 5.9 locally - and updating the local version to the new master branch on Github version 6.0 removed the error - so now I guess it's a matter of catching the mismatched versions and giving a meaningful message.

I recently used the pear installer on the remote machine which I guess installed 6.0 there, and had an older version already installed via pear on my local, where drush self-update does not yet update to 6.0 - so I cloned the master head from Github to replace my local drush folder on ubuntu /usr/share/php/drush and copied over the aliases files.

I am getting similar error for any command

You need to do what the error message told you, and add `--strict=0` to your command when using Drush with Pantheon.
