With Drush 3.x, this command worked:

drush sql-sync ~/httpdocs#default ~/subdomains/dev/httpdocs#default

Is the command line path parameter no longer supported? Must the aliases system be used instead?

Please says it's just a syntax change :-)

Thanks.

I will have to look into this. The path#uri syntax is definitely supported, and I will fix it if it is broken; it is believed to be working.

One thing of note is that bash expands the "~"; it is not recognized by the file system, so in other contexts, it might not work. If you are not typing the above command from the prompt, try using /home/user instead of ~ and see if that works better.

Actually, I am typing the full absolute path starting from / here, the ~/sites example was just a shortcut for this report.

Just to clarify the use case: we are using sandboxes that we create on a whim to test things, and the path form is very useful here.

PS: I reverted to Drush 3.0 for now, but I am looking forward to all the goodness in 4.x I am already doing a lot of the new things "manually" with my own rsync and drush sqlq commands, so it would be great to have some more automation.

Title: sql-sync with paths as CLI parameters » Site selection /path/#default does not work for #default (sql-sync with paths as CLI parameters)
Category: support » bug

The thing that is broken for me is #default; if I replace this with the uri for the site (/path/to/drupal/#mysite.org), as I have in my site alias, then it works. I tried on master. The later form is preferred, but I'm not sure why #default was rejected.

Try using your site uri as a workaround.
