Consider bundling WP-CLI commands with bbPress proper

[danielbachhuber]

I'm curious why bbPress' WP-CLI commands are being developed as a separate package, and not bundled with WP-CLI proper?

Simply because I had to start somewhere :)

Having now read more docs over the weekend I see that repo becoming a bbPress "feature project" to be merged into bbPress core at some stage ;)

[johnjamesjacoby]

Agree. We should merge them eventually, and make sure they're still properly isolated.

Let's scoot this to 2.7, and early.

To do:

• Merge what's in @netweb's GitHub repo
• Extract what's in /admin/tools/repair.php
• Extract what's in /admin/tools/upgrade.php
• Decide where these should live (in /includes/cli/ or in /includes/topics/cli.php)
• Ya know, unit tests for all of them

#3173 and #3174 related!

[espellcaste]

Guys! For our first proof of concept. We have something to work with.

We have a stable version here: ​https://github.com/bbpress/wp-cli-bbpress/pull/4

This PR only will work if #3173 and #3174 is applied.

So to recap:

Done - Merge what's in @netweb's GitHub repo
Done - Extract what's in /admin/tools/repair.php
Done - Extract what's in /admin/tools/upgrade.php

Decide where these should live (in /includes/cli/ or in /includes/topics/cli.php)

I'd rather it stay in the /includes/cli/ folder. This is how WooCommerce has their cli commands and possibly where BuddyPress will keep theirs.

Need help - Ya know, unit tests for all of them

Behat tests is not my strongest suite. So if anyone has more experience with it, please, I'd love to talk to you.

Hi! Just passing by to say that I've recently finished the wp-cli-bbpress implementation.

We have a stable version with coverage for several commands: topic, reply, forum, tools, etc. 90% of commands have behat tests.

You can see the code here: ​https://github.com/bbpress/wp-cli-bbpress

I would encourage the Core team to take a look and see where things could be improved. I'm open to the suggestion of new commands to be introduced.

Thank you! :)

Passing by to inform the wp cli package was updated to use namespaces, the same as its brother package, wp-cli-buddypress.

Passing by to inform core devs that this package is awesome! You try running those pesky tools via the admin area with millions of topics/replies and see how far you get without this :)

[espellcaste]

Thanks @sc0ttkclark =)

Hi @sc0ttkclark,

May i ask how did you manage Export / import of millions of replies ?

[sc0ttkclark]

While I can't remember what I was working on back then, I do know that it most likely involved the wp bbp tool repair command. I believe this was for a phpBB or vBulletin migration and I was importing from another custom script through SQL.
