README

Symfony Console wrappers for useful WP-CLI workflows in SymPress WordPress kernel applications.

The package exposes common WP-CLI operations as Symfony Console commands. It is distributed as a Composer-powered WordPress MU plugin and integrates with the SymPress kernel service container.

Installation

composer require sympress/wp-cli-console

The package requires PHP 8.5, WordPress 6.9 or newer, sympress/kernel, and symfony/console.

Features

Symfony Console commands backed by WP-CLI
Automatic use of the local vendor/bin/wp binary when available
Object cache and rewrite rule maintenance commands
Plugin, theme, user, cron, option, and database inspection commands
Streaming stdout and stderr handling for long-running WP-CLI processes
Kernel service registration through SymPress\WpCliConsole\WpCliConsoleBundle

Commands

wp:cache:flush       Flush the WordPress object cache
wp:rewrite:flush     Flush WordPress rewrite rules
wp:info              Show WP-CLI runtime information
wp:plugin:list       List installed plugins
wp:theme:list        List installed themes
wp:user:list         List WordPress users
wp:cron:list         List scheduled cron events
wp:option:get        Read a WordPress option
wp:db:size           Show WordPress database size

Usage

When the SymPress kernel discovers the package, it registers SymPress\WpCliConsole\WpCliConsoleBundle and loads wp-cli-console/wp-cli-console.php as the MU plugin entry point.

Commands are autoconfigured from src/Command and can be run through the project's Symfony Console entry point:

bin/console wp:plugin:list --status=active --format=table
bin/console wp:option:get siteurl --format=json
bin/console wp:rewrite:flush --hard

The runner executes WP-CLI from the kernel project directory and falls back to the global wp binary when vendor/bin/wp is not executable.

Development

composer install
composer qa

Release archives

The archive workflow and archive check use the reviewed reusable workflow commit 177fa0d727b278d2103052ec77c102b4a4c492a0. Releases install production Composer dependencies and include the artifact manifest and checksums. Tests, development documentation, QA configuration and coverage output are excluded. Source ZIPs also use .gitattributes export exclusions. Artifact attestation remains disabled.

Version 1.0.4 resolves the native-runner Plugin Check findings in a fresh archive; earlier tags and published archives retain their original contents. The new archive must pass the hosted archive check before it is attached to the release.

The only native process boundary passes a resolved WP-CLI executable and argument array to proc_open(), with no shell. Its call-specific PHPCS exceptions also cover private subprocess pipes; WP_Filesystem cannot manage those streams. HTTP_HOST and SERVER_NAME retain valid DNS/IP values and optional TCP ports. Invalid values, control characters and URLs fall back to localhost; WordPress text sanitization or unslashing would change these CLI environment tokens. These exceptions travel with the production source and do not disable archive checks or unrelated process, filesystem and input-validation checks.

Positional value validation

Externally supplied positional option names are validated before invoking the runner: empty/whitespace-only names, NUL, and leading option flags (including --exec, --require, --ssh, --path, --url and short flags) are rejected. Legitimate underscore/hyphen option names remain accepted. Runner-generated global/options arguments continue to be passed as argv entries; shell escaping alone cannot prevent WP-CLI global flag injection through an untrusted positional value.
