Drush not recognizing drupal root folder

This one is driving me crazy.

Whenever i use "drush dl" to download site_audit or drupalgeddon it downloads these modules inside the drush home folder ( /users/[user]/.drush ) instead of the current sites modules folder.

the "drush status" and the "drush @site-alias status" command gives me the correct site information, see below:

C:\wamp\www\drupal>drush dl site_audit Install location C:\Users\Thomas/.drush/site_audit already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? (y/n): n Skip installation of site_audit to [warning]

C:\wamp\www>drush @drupal status

Drupal version : 7.34 Site URI : localhost/drupal Database driver : mysql Database username : root Database name : drupal Default theme : garland Administration theme : garland PHP executable : php.exe PHP configuration : C:\Users\Thomas.drush\php.ini PHP OS : WINNT Drush version : 6.0 Drush configuration : Drush alias files : C:\Users\Thomas/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php Drupal root : /mamp/htdocs/drupal Site path : sites/default File directory path : sites/default/files

Also, when i try to download a module that already exist in the current sites modules folder it tells me so correctly. Same goes for the "en" command. I can also disable or uninstall modules successfully. Uninstalling does not remove the folder, tough.

The only thing i have noticed is that "drush configuration" does not show a path. However, i did copy the example file inside the .drush home folder AND one inside the sites/all/drush folder (i removed the 'example' from the filename off course).

Running windows 8 and tried both MAMP and WAMP with same results. I really hope someone can help me with this cause i am pulling my hair here.

Update: I tested the dl command with other modules and they are downloaded to the correct folder. I cleared the drush cache several times. Yet site_audit and drupalgeddon keep getting downloaded to the wrong folder. I just don't get it.

I think the real problem is, that you didn't specify the site-alias in your "drush dl" statement.

You run

drush @site-alias status

containing the site-alias, but

drush dl site_audit

without a sie-alias. I suppose you are in the drush folder, as drush downloads to the current folder, if no root folder is given explicitly or via site-alias.

Stupid me. These are both not modules but Drush extensions, hence the alternative download locations.
