Problems building dkan

[upieper]

I was able to build dkan using

drush make build-dkan.make ../webroot -y

a couple of days ago (after cloning dkan). Starting yesterday, however, I get the following error message during the build:

facetapi_pretty_paths cloned from http://git.drupal.org/project/facetapi_pretty_paths.git.                [ok]
Unable to checkout revision 1.0        [error]

and subsequently, the build never gets moved from /tmp/build to its proper destination (I assume because an error occured, the build aborts before the install stage, please correct me if I am wrong).

While version 1.0 of facetapi_pretty_paths exists in the drupal repository (http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/), the downloaded version is cloned from git instead, and doesn't include a version number in the .info file.

Since I am not yet familiar with drush make, I have difficulties finding the root of the problem. Any help appreciated!

I tried this using both HEAD and 7.x.-1.0 of dkan.

It turns out that the problem was an older version of drush (5.9). Moving to drush7 (which is what I used on the other computer a couple of days ago) solves the problem.

Thanks for reporting this! We've updated the documentation: https://github.com/nuams/dkan#drush-make

I just ran into the same problem, but, I was using drush7, but problem resolved when I went to drush 8.x-6.0-rc4
