Resolved wp-cli needs wp-cli-bundle

[sturm]

I'm aware that wp-cli is a part of wp-toolkit and I'm glad that it's finally been updated to v2.4.0 as of this writing. However, a new problem has been introduced with this upgrade: Some commands have been removed.

To be more specific, some commands have been split off into a separate package, wp-cli-bundle. See this WP blog post for more information. So wp-cli is just the core functionality now. I can't speak for everyone, but many of us who use wp-cli need it for some of those commands, such as `media` for regenerating thumbnails or `package` to install packages.

Are there any plans to incorporate wp-cli-bundle into wp-toolkit and, if so, what's the timeline on it?

You can just wget the phar and execute it. Add it to /bin for global access.

Hi @sturm,

This looks perfectly reasonable. I've filed an item in our issue tracker and I'll see when we can add that (hopefully it'll be soon).

Are you sure this is possible with Plesk? Already we cannot use regular `wp`, we have to use the wp-toolkit command `sudo plesk ext wp-toolkit --wp-cli -instance-id [id] -- [command] [options]` instead. I don't even know the phar file of which you speak, nor how to execute it properly.

Thanks, Custer. I look forward to hearing when it's been implemented.

Yes.

Run

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
mv wp-cli.phar /bin/wp
wp --info

Yes.

Run

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
mv wp-cli.phar /bin/wp
wp --info

Remember that Plesk allows you to have multiple subscriptions and multiple WordPress installations. So if I wanted to run a `wp` command on just one of them, how would I tell it which installation on which to run the command?

wp will make you pass --path to the WordPress install

Okay, if it works, then that sounds like a decent enough temporary measure until wp-cli-bundle gets properly implemented into wp-toolkit. Thanks, @john0001.

@sturm Good news -- wp-cli-bundle will be included in the shipped wp-cli distribution in the upcoming WordPress Toolkit v5.6 release (to be out soon).

@sturm, @john0001 -- WordPress Toolkit v5.6 release with wp-cli-bundle included is now out.
