"Error while migrating" is it possible to see more granular errors?

[gingerbeardman]

I have an error migrating from 4.5.6 (tried 4.6.5 a while back and filed an issue, and just tried latest as of today)

ee install/upgrade output

My feeling is there is a permissions problem with a certain file or files in my website folder.

Question

• is it possible for me to see more granular errors?

[gingerbeardman]

As detailed in #1688 I use an instance of the filebrowser docker container to copy files to/from my EE websites. (off topic: I'd love to know of any alternative ways to do this).

Having the filebrowser container running seems to put a lock on the EE website directories that are mapped into it, which prevents the EE migration from completing. I guess this could be the case in some other situations of running things alongside/inbetween EE.

I wish EE had better logging.

Anyway, my solution:

• docker stop filebrowser
• ee stuff
• docker start filebrowser

Tada!
