WP-CLI’s next release, v1.4.0, is just around the corner: Tuesday, October 17th. If you’ve contributed to WP-CLI before, here are a few moderately advanced issues I’d love to see fixed in the next release:
- Introduce
--version=betaargument for updating to latest WordPress beta
Adding this flag towp core updatewill make it much easier for users to test the latest build during the beta segment of the release cycle. Once this flag is implemented, we can also useWP_VERSION=betainwp scaffold plugin-tests. - Remove wordwrapping from command docs
Regex your jam? This shouldn’t be too difficult 😉 - Fail build when scaffolded README is out of date
The README for every WP-CLI repository is dynamically generated from its corresponding codebase. It currently has the problem of always being out of date. To better ensure it’s kept up to date, we should add some checking in the pull request workflow.
Read through the contributing guide for a refresher on the process. Feel free to ask questions on the specific issue, or join us in the #cli channel with any questions you might have.
