Global parameters (WP-CLI)

Global parameters

Global parameters are not included at each command, but only here:

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

--path=<path>
    Path to the WordPress files.

--url=<url>
    Pretend request came from given URL. In multisite, this argument is how the target site is specified.

--ssh=[<scheme>:][<user>@]<host|container>[:<port>][<path>]
    Perform operation against a remote server over SSH (or a container using scheme of "docker", "docker-compose",
    "vagrant").

--http=<http>
    Perform operation against a remote WordPress installation over HTTP.

--user=<id|login|email>
    Set the WordPress user.

--skip-plugins[=<plugins>]
    Skip loading all plugins, or a comma-separated list of plugins. Note: mu-plugins are still loaded.

--skip-themes[=<themes>]
    Skip loading all themes, or a comma-separated list of themes.

--skip-packages
    Skip loading all installed packages.

--require=<path>
    Load PHP file before running the command (may be used more than once).

--[no-]color
    Whether to colorize the output.

--debug[=<group>]
    Show all PHP errors and add verbosity to WP-CLI output. Built-in groups include: bootstrap, commandfactory, and
    help.

--prompt[=<assoc>]
    Prompt the user to enter values for all command arguments, or a subset specified as comma-separated values.

--quiet
    Suppress informational messages.

--debug

The --debug option displays debugging information during the execution of the WP-CLI command. When the respective WP-CLI command has finished, you will return to the normal terminal screen. I have the impression that this option is not suitable if you want to be kept globally informed about the progress during the execution of, for example, a large script.

You can specify which group of debug information it concerns. I think you'll see that automatically if you use this option with no value first. The values I saw passing by so quickly (interrupt execution with Ctrl-C, otherwise it will probably go too fast):

• bootstrap
• commands
• hooks

Examples:

# Toon alle debug-informatie
########################################
#
wp option list --fields=option_name --debug


# Toon alleen commands-debug-informatie
########################################
#
wp option list --fields=option_name --debug=commands

-path

I don't get --path to work. E.g., none of this works:

cd ~
wp plugin status /var/www/example.com
wp plugin status /var/www/example.com/

wp plugin status "/var/www/example.com"
wp plugin status "/var/www/example.com/"

wp plugin status '/var/www/example.com'
wp plugin status '/var/www/example.com/'

wp plugin status `/var/www/example.com`
wp plugin status `/var/www/example.com/`
