Drupal-project: Drush entup and updb broken

[vouza]

When running "drush entup" or "drush updb" on the remote server only I receive this strange error. On my local servers it works without issues. I tried now several remotes on different machines and receive all the time this error.

I tried with Drupal 8.6.15 and 8.7.1, PHP 7.1 and 7.2.

When using the original non "drupal-project" build from the website I do not encounter this problem.

Here the error that I receive:

`The command "/www/htdocs/w0196c64/drupal/vendor/drush/drush/drush.php updatedb:status --no-entity-updates --uri=default --root=/www/htdocs/w0196c64/drupal/web" failed.

Exit Code: 2(Misuse of shell builtins)

Working directory:

Output:

Other commands, such as drush cr or drush cim seem to work without issues.

Issue can be resolved by downgrading symfony/var-dumper to version 3.4 by running
composer require symfony/var-dumper:^3.4

This works for both plesk and cpanel hosts.

I've faced the issue and downgrading symfony/var-dumper to 3.4 doesn't help.

Your command is wrong. You sould use drush bash script rather than the php file.

./www/htdocs/w0196c64/drupal/vendor/drush/drush/drush updatedb:status --no-entity-updates --uri=default --root=/www/htdocs/w0196c64/drupal/web

@Spooky063
My command was just a simple:

drush updb

This is drush command directly from vendor installed via drupals composer. However when calling the bash script instead of the php file it works. Thanks

I faced something similar today but it was D9 related, it was phpdotenv 5.x: https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project/pull/584 This may help others?

Seems fixed to me. Please reopen if the issue persists. Many thanks 🙂
