The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Installing currently seems to fail.
The drush make resulted in commons_nightly_dev_7.x-3.x_1359849888.tar.gz which is all fine and dandy, but the install then bails out with:
The command is:
drush site-install --db-url=mysql://commons:commons@localhost/commons --site-name=QASite --account-name=admin --account-pass=commons --account-mail=admin@example.com --site-mail=site@example.com -v -y commons commons_anonymous_welcome_text_form.commons_anonymous_welcome_title="Oh hai" commons_anonymous_welcome_text_form.commons_anonymous_welcome_body="No shirts, no shoes, no service." commons_create_first_group.commons_first_group_title="Internet People" commons_create_first_group.commons_first_group_body="This is the first group on the page." commons_anonymous_welcome_text_form.commons_install_example_content
The error message is:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function flag() on a non-object in /vagrant/commons_files/profiles/commons/modules/contrib/commons_follow/commons_follow_group/commons_follow_group.module on line 105
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error. [error]

ezra-g commentedThanks - Bumping to Critical.
Comment #2
ezra-g commentedI'm not able to reproduce this with the currently nightly development snapshot. Can you post or IM with some steps to reproduce?
Comment #3
rb2k commentedI can reproduce it by doing a drush make and then executing the commandline mentioned above.
Adjust the DB parameters to your liking and you should be good to go.
Here is the full installation log:

matt v. commentedI did some quick testing and the issue appears to be triggered by some of the specific options in rb2k's call to
drush site-install. I ran the same command (changing only the database name and credentials) and received the same "Call to a member function flag() on a non-object" fatal error.However, the site-install command I've been using recently continues to work fine (though it doesn't set the admin account email or acquia _connector settings as I'm trying to specify them, but that's something I've been meaning to figure out):
sudo -u www-data drush site-install commons -y --db-url=mysql://commons_dev:commons_dev@localhost/commons_dev --account-name=foo --account-pass=bar install_configure_form.site_name="Commons Testing" install_configure_form.site_mail="noreply@example.com" install_configure_form.account_name=foo install_configure_form.account_mail="noreply@example.com" install_configure_form.account_pass_pass1=baz install_configure_form.account_pass_pass2=baz install_configure_form.acquia_connector=0 install_configure_form.site_default_country=USComment #5
matt v. commentedJust removing the last option of rb2k's command (
commons_anonymous_welcome_text_form.commons_install_example_content) allowed the site-install command to complete successfully on my test machine.Comment #6
ezra-g commentedThanks for the debugging, Matt V.! Looks like we can reproduce, so setting back to "active." Moving down to "major" since folks can still install Commons via the browser.

japerryWe needed to wrap some of the flag callbacks, they were causing issues with blank installs. Should work now.
Fixed in 7.x-3.x!
