WP-CLI "search-replace" error on WP Engine site pull

[jhixon]

Issue Summary

WP-CLI generates errors when performing the search-replace command to modify references to the site URL. Could it be because Local and my sites are on two different directories? I attempted to run search-replace myself but WP-CLI doesn’t recognize the directory as a WordPress install.

Troubleshooting Questions

• Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
  Only one.

• Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?
  Yes

Replication

Pull site from WP Engine into Local

System Details

• Which version of Local is being used?
  5.9.3+5100

• What Operating System (OS) and OS version are being used?

  • Windows 10 Professional

• Attach the Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:

I am having the same issue. I did a standard install of Local today, which went to C, but I created Local Sites on my A: partition and set the path to that.

I get the same error above, but with the addition of Error: required file ‘local-wpcli-local-error-reporting.php’ doesnt exist (from runtime argument).

Any guidance? Thanks

I get the same error when pulling sites from WPEngine into drive D:/

When I tried to set the directory into default, which is in drive C:/, pulling works just fine.
Kinda kills the purpose being able to set where to pull WPEngine sites into if it can only be done in drive C:/

I don’t want these sites on my SSD, having too many sites will surely shorten the lifespan of my SSD.
