Remote Import

[karudonaldson]

I was testing remote_import by importing production sites to a local BOA 2.3.5 instance today and found that most migrations I tried were failing. 1 of 7 have successfully completed so far, where these would normally import no problem.

Below seems to be the common error:
Unknown option: --remote_import_import. See drush help hosting-import for available options. To suppress this error, add the option --strict=0.

Also, I don't think this is anything related but when I run the manual cron task:
bash /var/xdrago/run-o1
The queued tasks aren't running as expected.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks, yes I saw that. Strangely this doesn't occur every migration some actually complete successfully while others don't. Can we append the strict=0 in the task perhaps? What are the implications?

[pricejn2]

I did this a few weeks ago, but if I recall, I only had the problem for D6 sites. As far as implications of using strict=0, I have no idea. I imported a number of sites and they are all functioning properly.

In /data/disk/o1/.drush/sys/provision/remote_import/remote_import.drush.inc, these are the changes I made to the last line:

provision_backend_invoke('@hostmaster', 'hosting-import', array($new_alias), array('remote_import_import' => TRUE, 'strict' => FALSE));

Seems to resolve the issue thanks. Are there are any side effects to be aware of?

[pricejn2]

Good deal.

There are none that I'm aware of or have encountered thus far.

[karudonaldson]

I haven't noticed any issues either, is this a candidate for being committed to stable or can any others offer their input?

This issue belong to https://www.drupal.org/project/remote_import since we don't modify it in BOA, it is used as-is so any problems should be reported in the correct project issue queue.

[omega8cc]

I have committed suggested fix (even if it is a workaround for unknown issue, probably) in our fork: omega8cc/remote_import@adf0f85

It is now added both in BOA head and stable.
