BLT / Features Incompatibility

[mikemadison13]

My system information:

• Operating system type: Mac OS
• Operating system version: 10.11.6
• BLT version: 8.x-dev cfe62bd

When I run this command:

blt setup

I get the following output:

Checking for features overrides...

And I expected this to happen:

It would appear that Features is not compatible with Drush 9. I have bugged this issue here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2913651

In the meantime, the thing that is exploding is the final step where we check for features overrides because the features-list-packages code has a function that isn't supported in Drush 9. We could potentially remove this portion of the features import process and bypass the incompatibility.

As a temporary workaround, I think you can disable the Features overrides check by setting cm.features.no-overrides = false in project.yml.

[mikemadison13]

this override DID work.

should we comment out the features overrides check for the time being in BLT so not everyone has to do this?

[grasmash]

Yes.

i'll get a PR going for that @grasmash
