@martinkbs you have to either do /app/pkg/wp plugin list OR if you cd /app/pkg, then ./wp plugin list (the dot slash in the front is important).

@martinkbs Is this managed wordpress or the developer wordpress ? The CLI command is slightly different depending on which one.

[martinkbs]

@girish

With /app/pkg/wp plugin list

With cd /app/pkg, then ./wp plugin list

The installation is always WordPress (Developer)

[girish]

@martinkbs you have to use the command like in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/wordpress-developer/#wp-cli . So,

sudo -E -u www-data php /app/pkg/wp --path=/app/data/public/ plugin list

To explain the arguments:

• sudo is for running the command as a different user. -u www-data means run it as www-data user (which is what apache is running as)
• -E means to preserve environment variables. This way the container's env vars are passed on to the CLI command as well.
• --path is required to specify the path to the installation of WP.

Hi @girish

WP-cli commands, up to version 6.3.X update have always worked the same way. In fact, I have several Cloudrons in version 6.2.8, in which the 'wp plugin list' command works as WP-cli has to.

According to your explanation, it means that from now on, in version 6.3.X you have to put the command as you mentioned?

sudo -E -u www-data php /app/pkg/wp --path=/app/data/public/ plugin list

Or is it going to restore the original format that was used until now? As you will see, it is not a very productive way to work with the terminal.

@martinkbs you are right, there should be a wp command alias. I see that it's in the package code as well. Let me see why it broke.

[girish]

It seems /root/.bashrc is not sourced for some reason. If you do, source /root/.bashrc , then wp starts to work. Investigating further.

[girish]

I had made a change that source any app specific rcfile for 6.3. I did this for https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4992/seting-bash-aliases-for-cloudron-terminal. Unfortunately, this breaks sourcing of the personal rcfile. From the man page,

       --rcfile file
              Execute commands from file instead of the system wide initialization file /etc/bash.bashrc and the standard personal initialization file ~/.bashrc if the shell is interac‐
              tive (see INVOCATION below).

@martinkbs I will look into how to fix this now that I know what the issue is. Thanks for reporting! For the moment, the workaround is to type source /root/.bashrc after you open a web terminal and then the wp command should work.

Thanks @girish

Checked. After starting the terminal, inserting the commandsource /root/.bashrc, WP-cli works normally.

At least, even temporarily, it solves the problem and lets you use the terminal.

If you need help, please let me know to make checks.

Thanks again!

I have fixed this for the next release.
