Trust project configuration files in Behat runs by swissspidy · Pull Request #348 · wp-cli/wp-cli-tests · GitHub

Companion to wp-cli/wp-cli#6365.

That PR gates require, exec, env and ssh-args directives found in a project-level wp-cli.yml behind a trust confirmation, controlled by --trust-project-config / WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG.

Test fixtures create such files all the time — Given a wp-cli.yml file: with a require: entry is one of the most common steps across the WP-CLI package suites, and given_a_request_to_a_url_respond_with_file() writes one itself. A Behat run is non-interactive, so without this change every one of those scenarios fails with:

Error: Untrusted project configuration file '…/wp-cli.yml' contains 'require' directive(s).
Run interactively to confirm, or set WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG=true / add path to system or
global config file to allow execution.

Changes

FeatureContext::get_process_env_variables() now passes WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG=1 to every command it runs. An explicit value in the outer environment still wins, following the same pass-through pattern already used for WP_CLI_CONFIG_PATH, WP_CLI_ALLOW_ROOT and friends.
Documented the behaviour in the README, including how a scenario overrides it per command (When I try \WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG=false wp cli version``), which is how the trust mechanism's own acceptance tests in Add project configuration trust verification (trust-project-config) wp-cli#6365 exercise the denial paths.

Testing

Ran the affected wp-cli/wp-cli feature scenarios against a checkout of wp-cli/wp-cli#6365 with this context patched in: the 28 scenarios that build a project wp-cli.yml containing require/exec/env/ssh-args and do not need a WordPress install (across command, config, flags, prompt, runcommand and runner features) fail without this change and pass with it. The nine new trust scenarios in features/config.feature still pass, confirming that the per-command override keeps working.

Note this needs to be released before wp-cli/wp-cli#6365's CI can go green, since that repo installs wp-cli/wp-cli-tests from a version constraint.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Behat test processes now automatically trust project-level WP-CLI configuration by default.
- Added options to override this behavior globally or for individual commands.
Documentation
- Documented project configuration trust behavior and available override options.

WP-CLI gates `require`, `exec`, `env` and `ssh-args` directives found in a project-level wp-cli.yml behind a trust confirmation. Test fixtures create such files routinely and a non-interactive test run cannot answer the prompt, so pass WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG=1 to every command the Behat context runs. An explicit WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG in the outer environment still wins, and scenarios exercising the trust mechanism itself can keep overriding it per command.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the WP-CLI Behat test harness to default to trusting project-level wp-cli.yml configuration during non-interactive runs, preventing widespread failures introduced by the new trust confirmation gate in wp-cli/wp-cli#6365.

Changes:

Default WP_CLI_TRUST_PROJECT_CONFIG to 1 for all Behat-invoked WP-CLI commands, while still honoring an explicitly-set outer environment value.
Document the default trust behavior and how to override it globally or per-command in the README.
