Drupal Migrate error due to auto registration and base classes

Posted on December 5, 2013

If you are getting an error similar to the following when using the drush ms command:

[vagrant@localhost drupal]$ drush ms
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function importedCount() on a non-object in /vagrant/drupal/profiles/commerce_kickstart/modules/contrib/migrate/includes/migration.inc on line 847
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.                  [error]
Error: Call to a member function importedCount() on a non-object in
/vagrant/drupal/profiles/commerce_kickstart/modules/contrib/migrate/includes/migration.inc,
line 847

Then you may have accidently had a base migration class registered when you ran drush mar.

To recover from this, you need to deregister the base classes in your project. In my case the fix was the following:

$ drush migrate-deregister ItemCommon
$ drush migrate-deregister OrderCommon
