Area code not set

Question

I have been trying to get around this Area code not set error and have references the others in here, but have a issue tracking it down.

i have been trying to upgrade 2.0.7 to 2.1.0 and when i get to the point where i run:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade -vvv

I get this as the error.

[Magento\Framework\Exception\SessionException] Area code not set: Area code must be set before starting a session.

setup:upgrade [--keep-generated] [--magento-init-params="..."]

So if anyone can assist with where to look, this would be great

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Take a look here:

Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\ObjectManager->get() at /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/app/code/J2t/Rewardpoints/Observer/ProcessSaveModel.php:21

Looks like this module is trying to grab the Object Manager which might be triggering the error if that area code is not set. In my comment, i linked to a solution i found to this error for an extension i was using. Might help you out here as the call to the Object Manager is happening in an Observer.

Here is that link again: Magento 2 "Area code not set" warning in 3rd party module

Answer 2

I just experienced this issue running bin/magento setup:upgrade, and the exception was thrown by module-config.

Area code is not set {"exception":"[object] (Magento\\Framework\\Exception\\State\\InvalidTransitionException(code: 0): Area code is not set at /magento/htdocs/vendor/magento/module-config/Model/Config/Importer.php:137

It turned out that I had some settings in app/etc/env.php that the configuration importer did not like. Setting a breakpoint on that line showed me which data was trying to be updated, and removing that from app/etc/env.php fixed the issue for me.

Hope this helps someone!

Answer 3

Had the same problem. Added a var_export() on vendor/magento/module-config/Model/Config/Importer.php to see what it was buzzy with.

        } catch (\Exception $e) {
        var_export($data);
        throw new InvalidTransitionException(__('%1', $e->getMessage()), $e);

Then it returned some settings from my app/ect/env.php

array (
  'default' => 
  array (
    'dev' => 
    array (
      'debug' => 
      array (
        'debug_logging' => '0',
      ),
    ),
  ),
)

Removed it and it works again.
