Load `WP_CLI_REQUIRE` files for protected commands by swissspidy · Pull Request #6406 · wp-cli/wp-cli

swissspidy · 2026-09-14T08:15:17Z

Problem

package and cli info are protected commands (DefineProtectedCommands): LoadRequiredCommand skips every required file for them so that broken extension code from a config file or --require cannot break the commands used to manage packages.

That skip also drops files passed through the WP_CLI_REQUIRE environment variable. The variable was added in c28d9ab specifically so that wp-cli-tests can inject its code coverage collector into every wp invocation. Because nearly every step in wp-cli/package-command runs wp package …, the Behat coverage upload for that repository has been empty since coverage collection was introduced, which makes codecov/patch fail on every PR there (see wp-cli/package-command#250). Reproduced locally:

WP_CLI_REQUIRE=generate-coverage.php wp cli version   # writes a .cov file
WP_CLI_REQUIRE=generate-coverage.php wp package path  # nothing loaded

Changes

Configurator::get_env_require_files() extracts the parsing of WP_CLI_REQUIRE that the constructor already did.
LoadRequiredCommand keeps skipping files from config files and --require for protected commands, but still loads the files from WP_CLI_REQUIRE. Those are set by whoever invokes WP-CLI itself, not by the project being operated on, so they carry the same trust as running wp in the first place.
New Unix and Windows scenarios in runcommand.feature asserting that --require is still ignored for cli info while WP_CLI_REQUIRE is honored.
Unit tests for Configurator::get_env_require_files(), the merge of the environment files into the require config, and LoadRequiredCommand for regular and protected commands. The functional tests cannot cover the bootstrap code that loads the coverage collector itself, because it runs before collection starts.

Testing

phpcs, PHPStan and gherkin-lint pass.
runcommand.feature, cli-info.feature and config.feature pass (42 scenarios), including the existing WP_CLI_REQUIRE scenario and the new one.
ConfiguratorTest and LoadRequiredCommandTest pass.
With this patch applied to the vendored WP-CLI in wp-cli/package-command, wp package path with the coverage collector in WP_CLI_REQUIRE writes a .cov file, while a --require file is still not loaded for it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Protected commands now ignore files supplied through configuration or the --require option, preventing broken files from interrupting protected command execution.
- Files specified through the WP_CLI_REQUIRE environment variable continue to load for protected commands.
- Required files continue to load as expected for regular commands.
- Behavior is now consistent across Unix and Windows environments.

`package` and `cli info` are protected commands: the bootstrap skips every required file for them so that broken extension code from a config file or `--require` cannot break the commands used to manage packages. That skip also dropped files passed through the `WP_CLI_REQUIRE` environment variable, which was added specifically so that test runners can inject a code coverage collector into every `wp` invocation. As a result, the Behat runs of wp-cli/package-command never recorded any coverage, because nearly all of its steps run `wp package …`. Files from `WP_CLI_REQUIRE` are set by whoever invokes WP-CLI itself, not by the project being operated on, so keep loading them for protected commands while still skipping files from config files and `--require`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

WP_CLI_REQUIRE parsing is now shared through Configurator. Protected commands load only environment-required files. Unix and Windows scenarios verify that --require files remain excluded.

Changes

Protected required-file loading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Environment require-file parser `php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php`, `tests/ConfiguratorTest.php`	Adds `Configurator::get_env_require_files()`, uses it during construction, and ensures environment and temporary-file cleanup in tests.
Protected command loading `php/WP_CLI/Bootstrap/LoadRequiredCommand.php`, `tests/LoadRequiredCommandTest.php`	Protected commands load environment-required files while skipping configuration and `--require` files. Tests cover protected, regular, and empty environment-file cases.
Platform-specific scenarios `features/runcommand.feature`	Unix and Windows scenarios verify the protected-command file-loading behavior.

Pull request overview

Updates protected-command bootstrapping so WP_CLI_REQUIRE files load while config and --require files remain skipped.

Changes:

Extracts WP_CLI_REQUIRE parsing into Configurator.
Preserves environment-specified files for protected commands.
Adds acceptance coverage for cli info.

Critical finding: the new scenario uses Unix-style environment assignment without excluding Windows, so it may fail there.

File summaries

File	Description
`php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php`	Adds reusable environment-file parsing.
`php/WP_CLI/Bootstrap/LoadRequiredCommand.php`	Loads environment-specified files for protected commands.
`features/runcommand.feature`	Tests protected-command required-file behavior.
