‘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.
