I had just the same issue recently, while migrating from 1.9.1.0 to 2.3.0
The problem is that method getProgressBar trying to get option
progress_bar_format from config.xml under your Magento1 version's folder (in my case this is /vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.1.0/config.xml) to create progress bar that you can see while migration process in console.
/vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/src/Migration/App/ProgressBar/LogLevelProcessor.php
protected function getProgressBar()
{
if (null == $this->progressBar) {
$this->progressBar = $this->progressBarFactory->create($this->getOutputInstance());
$this->progressBar->setFormat($this->config->getOption(self::PROGRESS_BAR_FORMAT_OPTION));
}
return $this->progressBar;
}
But method $this->config->getOption(self::PROGRESS_BAR_FORMAT_OPTION)); didn't get option and returned null, that's because:
/vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/src/Migration/Config.php
public function getOption($name)
{
return isset($this->options[$name]) ? $this->options[$name] : null; <-- '' instead of null
}
So i just replaced null to empty strig '', to get default progress bar. And it helped.
