Command “generate-votes” is not defined

Question

I'd like to use Drush 10.3.6 to generate votes on my development server.

Based on these instructions for a previous Drush version (8.x), there is some kind of module/extension for this.

drush generate-votes

However, when I try it, it doesn't work for me. The error message I get is the following one.

Command "generate-votes" is not defined.

Has this feature been removed or deprecated? Is there any other way I can generate votes from the command line?

Answer 1

This command doesn't come from Drush core but from the Voting API module. This command simply doesn't exist yet in the currently latest Voting API release: 8.x-3.0-beta2. 👈 See, the directory /src/Commands where Drush commands since Drush version 9 get registered now simply isn't there yet.

You need to get the latest Voting API dev:

$ composer require 'drupal/votingapi:3.x-dev@dev'

There the /src/Commands directory contains a VotingApiCommands.php file with all the commands in it. The module needs to be enabled to use them, of course.

Voting API version 3.0-beta2 only contains the legacy votingapi.drush.inc file for Drush commands up to Drush version 8.
