Drush9: Cannot use commands with arguments while using aliases

[yobottehg]

When you want to uninstall a module using pmu it worked like this in Drush8:

$ drush @project.local pmu module

if i do this in Drush9 i get the following output:

 [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]  
  Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".  

If i run it without the Alias inside the Vagrant it works.
Other commands that do not take attributes work with the Alias like $ drush @project.local cr

Did the notation of using Drush Aliases change ?

[greg-1-anderson]

Sounds like a bug. I take it that @project.local refers to a Vagrant-hosted Drupal site that is called via ssh? Does drush @project.local status work?

Run pmu with --debug and look for the ssh command that Drush is running. Report that here. Also show your Drush 8 and Drush 9 alias files for this site.

[greg-1-anderson]

Also, what version of Drush are you using? Try 9.0.0-beta6 if you're not already using that.

[yobottehg]

You were right i was using beta5. Updated to Beta6.

$ drush --version
Drush Launcher Version: 0.4.2
Drush Commandline Tool 9.0.0-beta6

$ drush @project.local pmu automated_cron
      
[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]  
Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".    

does still not work, while :

$ drush @project.local pmu
[success] Successfully uninstalled: 
Connection to www.project.dev closed.

So i think it's basically about the second parameter

[greg-1-anderson]

Could you provide --debug output?

[yobottehg]

sure:

$ drush @project.local pmu automated_cron --debug
Drush Launcher Version: 0.4.2

  Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".

Ah, I think I know what is going on. Try setting your cwd to a local Drupal site that has an installed database (drush status says "Database: Connected") and run the command again.

I should be able to fix this.

[yobottehg]

If i ssh into the container and use drush without the alias everything works:

$ drush pmu automated_cron
 [success] Successfully uninstalled: automated_cron

While from the outside with using the alias there is the error above.
Just for clarifying that this only exists using aliases.

[yobottehg]

Just another find, it's not about the pmu command but generally every command using arguments like cim sync.

Clarified this in the title

[greg-1-anderson]

Yes, I'm halfway there. If you use the HEAD of the master branch, you will find that Drush no longer complains about too many arguments in this situation. However, --foo=bar will still throw an error, even if --foo is a valid option for the command you are running.

I've got a strategy for this, and will have it fixed shortly.

[greg-1-anderson]

HEAD of master should now behave correctly for both args and options.

I'm still experiencing this issue:

$ drush --version
Drush Launcher Version: 0.6.0
Drush Commandline Tool 9.3.0

$ drush en admin_toolbar_tools
[notice] Already enabled: admin_toolbar_tools

$ drush -l foo en admin_toolbar_tools
Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".

$ drush -l foo pm:enable admin_toolbar_tools
[notice] Already enabled: admin_toolbar_tools

I can't use alias commands for mult-site instances.
