Drush site-install + existing-config + sites-subdir not working

i am getting the same error as Bhanu951 above. I have a clean drupal/recommended installation.

by the way, is this the right place to report drush problems?

No! Drush-specific issues are here: https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues

If a commit to Drupal core could fix this then it is ok for this issue to exist here. If not, then I guess it is a Drush bug(?). I am postponing this on that question.

@cilfen - according to drush's issue, the problem is Drupal core...

As an alternative to doing a full import of all config files, it is also possible to cherry pick the relevant config files, place them in another folder, and do a partial configuration import with this, where config folder in this case is in the root of a Lando installation:

drush config:import --partial --source=/app/config

For more, see Drush issue Config import single command #5146.

Is this issue more of a support request, or, a duplicate of 🐛 Allow an install hook in profiles installing from configuration Needs work ?

I agree @cilefen, it's the same problem, and the solution is being worked on in the other issue, so closing this issue.

Note: It's not mentioned in the Drupal 8: Install Site From Existing Configuration or anywhere, as far as I have seen, but you need to do these steps for it to work:

1. First install a fresh site with plain drush site:install
2. Add $settings['config_sync_directory'] = '../config/sync'; line in settings.php
3. THEN you can run drush site:install --existing-config

If someone has figured out to do it in less steps, that would of course be nice :)
