    Issue

    Known issue with Drush 9, Specifying --sites-subdir= has unexpected behavior when the value is set several directories deep, for example --sites-subdir="a/b/c"

    Resolution

    Option 1: install the site manually, requesting `install.php`  in a browser. 

    Option 2: Move all the default_content json into a separate module (for example "siteexample_default_content”).

    Then, use a “post-install” factory hook like the one below:

    <?php

\Drupal::service('module_installer')->install([
'sitefarm_default_content',
]);

\Drupal::service('module_installer')->uninstall([
'default_content',
'rest',
'hal',
'serialization',
'sitefarm_default_content',
]);

    You may, also, need to modify all other auto-install scripts in Docksal, Probo.ci, etc, to run this script with Drush after a site install.
