‘Area code is not set’ error when running setup:upgrade

This article provides a patch for the known Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure 2.2.3 issue related to getting the “Area code is not set” error when running the following command:

setup:upgrade

Issue

When running the

bin/magento setup:upgrade

command, you get the following error message: “Module ‘Magento_AdvancedSalesRule’: Installing data…Area code not set: Area code must be set before starting a session” and the command execution is interrupted. The issue appears because area configuration is requested before it is actually set. The patch allows catching the error and not interrupting the upgrade process.
