Using

This package implements the following commands:

wp scaffold package

Generate the files needed for a basic WP-CLI command.

wp scaffold package <name> [--description=<description>] [--homepage=<homepage>] [--dir=<dir>] [--license=<license>] [--require_wp_cli=<version>] [--skip-tests] [--skip-readme] [--skip-github] [--skip-install] [--force]

Default behavior is to create the following files:

  • command.php
  • composer.json (with package name, description, and license)
  • .gitignore, .editorconfig, and .distignore
  • README.md (via wp scaffold package-readme)
  • Test harness (via wp scaffold package-tests)

Unless specified with --dir=<dir>, the command package is placed in the WP-CLI packages/local/ directory.

OPTIONS

<name>
	Name for the new package. Expects <author>/<package> (e.g. 'wp-cli/scaffold-package').

[--description=<description>]
	Human-readable description for the package.

[--homepage=<homepage>]
	Homepage for the package. Defaults to 'https://github.com/<name>'

[--dir=<dir>]
	Specify a destination directory for the command. Defaults to WP-CLI's `packages/local/` directory.

[--license=<license>]
	License for the package.
	---
	default: MIT
	---

[--require_wp_cli=<version>]
	Required WP-CLI version for the package.
	---
	default: ^1.1.0
	---

[--skip-tests]
	Don't generate files for integration testing.

[--skip-readme]
	Don't generate a README.md for the package.

[--skip-github]
	Don't generate GitHub issue and pull request templates.

[--skip-install]
	Don't install the package after scaffolding.

[--force]
	Overwrite files that already exist.

wp scaffold package-tests

Generate files for writing Behat tests for your command.

wp scaffold package-tests <dir> [--ci=<provider>] [--force]

WP-CLI makes use of a Behat-based testing framework, which you should use too. This command generates all of the files you need. Functional tests are an integral ingredient of high-quality, maintainable commands. Behat is a great choice as a testing framework because:

  • It’s easy to write new tests, which means they’ll actually get written.
  • The tests interface with your command in the same manner as your users interface with your command, and they describe how the command is expected to work in human-readable terms.

Behat tests live in the features/ directory of your project. When you use this command, it will generate a default test that looks like this:

Feature: Test that WP-CLI loads.

  Scenario: WP-CLI loads for your tests
    Given a WP install

    When I run `wp eval 'echo "Hello world.";'`
    Then STDOUT should contain:
      """
      Hello world.
      """

Functional tests typically follow this pattern:

  • Given some background,
  • When a user performs a specific action,
  • Then the end result should be X (and Y and Z).

View all defined Behat steps available for use with behat -dl:

Given /^an empty directory$/
Given /^an empty cache/
Given /^an? ([^\s]+) file:$/
Given /^"([^"]+)" replaced with "([^"]+)" in the ([^\s]+) file$/

The files generated by this command include:

  • .travis.yml is the configuration file for Travis CI.
  • bin/install-package-tests.sh will configure your environment to run the tests.
  • bin/test.sh is a test runner that respects contextual Behat tags.
  • features/load-wp-cli.feature is a basic test to confirm WP-CLI can load.
  • features/bootstrap, features/steps, features/extra are Behat configuration files.

After running bin/install-package-tests.sh, you can run the tests with ./vendor/bin/behat. If you find yourself using Behat on a number of projects and don't want to install a copy with each one, you can composer global require behat/behat to install Behat globally on your machine. Make sure ~/.composer/vendor/bin has also been added to your $PATH. Once you've done so, you can run the tests for a project by calling behat.

ENVIRONMENT

The features/bootstrap/FeatureContext.php file expects the WP_CLI_BIN_DIR environment variable.

WP-CLI Behat framework uses Behat ~2.5, which is installed with Composer.

OPTIONS

<dir>
	Directory path to an existing package to generate tests for.

[--ci=<provider>]
	Create a configuration file for a specific CI provider.
	---
	default: travis
	options:
	  - travis
	  - circle
	---

[--force]
	Overwrite files that already exist.

EXAMPLE

wp scaffold package-tests /path/to/command/dir/

wp scaffold package-readme

Generate a README.md for your command.

wp scaffold package-readme <dir> [--force]

Creates a README.md with Using, Installing, and Contributing instructions based on the composer.json file for your WP-CLI package. Run this command at the beginning of your project, and then every time your usage docs change.

These command-specific docs are generated based composer.json -> 'extra' -> 'commands'. For instance, this package's composer.json includes:

{
  "name": "wp-cli/scaffold-package-command",
   // [...]
   "extra": {
       "commands": [
           "scaffold package",
           "scaffold package-tests",
           "scaffold package-readme"
       ]
   }
}

You can also customize the rendering of README.md generally with composer.json -> 'extra' -> 'readme'. For example, runcommand/hook's composer.json includes:

{
    "extra": {
        "commands": [
            "hook"
        ],
        "readme": {
            "shields": [
                "[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/runcommand/reset-password.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/runcommand/reset-password)"
            ],
            "sections": [
                "Using",
                "Installing",
                "Support"
            ],
            "support": {
                "body": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/runcommand/runcommand-theme/master/bin/readme-partials/support-open-source.md"
            },
            "show_powered_by": false
        }
    }
}

In this example:

  • "shields" supports arbitrary images as shields to display.
  • "sections" permits defining arbitrary sections (instead of default Using, Installing and Contributing).
  • "support" -> "body" uses a remote Markdown file as the section contents. This can also be a local file path, or a string.
  • "show_powered_by" shows or hides the Powered By mention at the end of the readme.

OPTIONS

<dir>
	Directory path to an existing package to generate a readme for.

[--force]
	Overwrite the readme if it already exists.

wp scaffold package-github

Generate GitHub configuration files for your command.

wp scaffold package-github <dir> [--force]

Creates a variety of files to better manage your project on GitHub. These files include:

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE - Text displayed when a user opens a new issue.
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE - Text displayed when a user submits a pull request.
  • .github/settings.yml - Configuration file for the Probot settings app.

OPTIONS

<dir>
	Directory path to an existing package to generate GitHub configuration for.

[--force]
	Overwrite files that already exist.
