Hi,

Drupal 7.26 w/ Drush 6.x

I'm trying to update the issueq module (IssueQ 7.x-1.x-dev (2014-Apr-29)) to the latest version. I run
"drush pm-update issueq" and I get the following error.

user@s1:/var/www/issueq/www$ drush pm-update issueq --no-backup
 Name             Installed Version  Proposed version  Message          
 IssueQ (issueq)  7.x-1.x-dev        7.x-1.x-dev       Update available 


Update information last refreshed: 2014. Jun 4. 11:21
Code updates will be made to the following projects: IssueQ [issueq-7.x-1.x-dev]

Note: You have selected to not store backups.
Do you really want to continue with the update process? (y/n): y
The issueq directory could not be found within the modules directory [error]
at /var/www/issueq/www/profiles/issueq, perhaps the project is
enabled but has been deleted from disk.

On a side note, when trying to update it earlier w/ drush 4.5 i had the following error which went away with an upgrade to drush 6.

strpos(): Empty delimiter pm.drush.inc:1131                          [warning]

I'm still having this issue while trying to update the site. What's the proper way to update this module or distribution?

Sorry, we've tried, but couldn't reproduce your problem, but here is an other solution, please try this out:

Try to upgrade manually your distribution:

  1. Download the latest distro files from here: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/issueq-7.x-1.x-dev-core.tar.gz
  2. Switch on the maintenance mode on your site with drush vset maintenance_mode 1 command.
  3. Make a complete backup (code+db) from your site. (Just for safety.)
  4. Delete all the files & folders inside your original IQ instance except for /sites folder and any custom files you added elsewhere. (If you have some special settings in /.gitignore, /.robots.txt or /.htaccess files then you can easily restore them later from your backup that you have made in step 3.)
  5. Copy all the folders and files except /sites from extracted issueq-7.x-1.x-dev-core.tar.gz package into your original IQ instance.
  6. (Restore .htaccess and .gitignore files.)
  7. Use drush to update database with drush updb command.
  8. Check your upgraded site. (If you have some problems you can easily restore your old site from backup.)
  9. If everything works fine then switch off maintenance mode off with drush vset maintenance_mode 0 command.

Please provide us some feedback if you have managed to solve your problem (or not).
Regards, IQ team.
