so with 1.2k+ open issues, 300 of them labeled bugs, and 200 open PRs, gutenberg is just a weekend away from being officially ready for public use. You would think that core software development standards are so low it will be hard to do worse, but GB team showed that with enough effort everything is possible in software

I wonder when was the last time anybody read the wordpress readme.html file. It is so anachronistic it is actually wrong

LOL, the help for the edit screen suggests the usage of "press this". How many years ago was it deprecated?

even deprecation core can not handle well

oh LOL 4.9.9 is cancelled and the way it was done removes any last doubt that anyone working on core right now is just working for automattic without being paid

No real surprise here as it was fully clear that no matter how shitty GB is it will be released as part of 5.0 in December, just sad that matt doesn't even feel the need to pretend that wordpress is a community project any more

Tom, thanks for the feedback. I understand now that not all platforms should be developed with WordPress as the framework =)

@MarkKaplun Am I the only one that thinks even the UI of gutenberg is so annoying?

Hello everyone

it's been a long time :)

Does someone know how to add path to wp-cli so I can use wp as a command

I installed it via composer

and there is no info on it here make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/installing

Tom J Nowell

@R1ddler not sure what you mean, for WP CLI you navigate to the folder the WP install is in and run the command

otherwise, that document is about installing wp cli, not using it

R1ddler

so I need to be in the folder of wp in order to run wp eval-file?

PATH="/usr/sbin:$PATH"

I ask about this

I order to run wp eval-file

Tom J Nowell

that's the assumption

R1ddler

I need to associate the wp file with its path

Tom J Nowell

same as ls or any other command

R1ddler

12:59 PM

cos now it says command not found

assumption?

Tom J Nowell

well if wp in path?

composer based installs are per project not system wide

unless it's the global install, in which case you'd need the global bin folder in your system path

but none of this is WP CLI knowledge, it's generic Linux knowledge

anyway there's a reason the first line of the composer step is "As part of a project"

it'll probably shove it in a vendor/bin folder

at which point why call wp and not vendor/bin/wp?

there probably is a path parameter you can pass

R1ddler

"scripts" : {
"post-install-cmd" : [
"[[ -f /usr/bin/wp ]] || sudo ln -s /var/www/vendor/wp-cli/wp-cli/bin/wp /usr/bin/wp",
"source /var/www/vendor/wp-cli/wp-cli/utils/wp-completion.bash",
"[[ -f ~/.bash_profile ]] || touch ~/.bash_profile",
"source ~/.bash_profile"
]
}

Tom J Nowell

but for your situation, it's not necessary

R1ddler

what does this do?

Tom J Nowell

I don't know

R1ddler

1:02 PM

the wp file is in my project folder

Tom J Nowell

it's a composer script

for post installation to do something

just run it

you don't have to be in the same folder as something to run it

as I said before, none of this is WP CLI stuff, it's generic linux command stuff

I'd avoid that snippet, especially if you don't understand it, as it's an example, and will need changing to suit what you're doing ( and it won't help you run eval )

hmmm it looks like it tries to install bash autocompletion rules

anyway

I'm going to use the banana command as an example

banana is located in /var/tomjn/test/banana

if /var/tomjn/test is in path, then I can just write banana to run it

if I'm currently in /var/tomjn/test, I can also write banana to run it

without needing it in path

if I'm in /home/user and want to run banana I can't unless it's in path, but I could run /var/tomjn/test/banana

or ../../var/tomjn/test/banana

so if you're in /var/www/mysite

and you've just told me you ran composer in that folder to install WP CLI

and i just told you composer puts binaries in a vendor/bin subfolder, and we know that binary is named wp

how would somebody in /var/www/mysite run the wp command?

Stack Overflow is 10!

Jay Hanlon on September 27, 2018

Ten years ago, a lot was happening. Barack Obama and John McCain were running for U.S. president. Lehman Brothers’ collapse triggered a global financial crisis. The second iPhone came out – with 3G speeds, y’all! Tweens everywhere were deciding if they were on Team Jacob or Team Edward. Kanye West convinced everyone that what sunglasses had been lacking were venetian blinds.

And on September 15, 2008, Stack Overflow’s public beta went live.

@JackJohansson, if the UX was not such a big fail maybe less people would have objected to it.
