Executing BLT deploy results in frontend:build argument error, stopping frontend build

[amcgowanca]

Problem

Cannot effectively build an artifact and deploy due to deploy command passing arguments to frontend that result in an error.

Information

BLT version: 8.9.9
When I run this command:

blt deploy --commit-msg="Manual build deploy." --branch="develop" --ignore-dirty --no-interaction -v

I get the following output:

Generating build artifact...
For more detailed output, use the -v flag.

And I expected this to happen:

• To run successfully without passing additional arguments to commands not accepting them.

This issue has been open a couple of times, and I believe that it has been fixed in the 9.1.x branch. Perhaps we need to backport it.

[amcgowanca]

@grasmash , Are there any major risks in updating from 8.9.9 to 9.1 that can be easily called out? I've been experiencing a handful of additional issues related to building on Travis CI as well, including but not limited to not being able to find VMs (which a VM shouldn't be present in Travis CI) and MySQL being completely unavailable.

[danepowell]

@amcgowanca 9.1 is still fairly bleeding edge... BLT itself is stable but 9.1 requires Drush 9.x and Drupal 8.4.x, both of which are relatively new and untested.

You can find a list of issues we want to address for these versions here:

[danepowell]

Possibly related to #1976 or #1872... I'll try to port the fix

[amcgowanca]

Thanks @danepowell , that PR for #2175 resolved the issue. Much appreciated.
