'gh' is not a registered wp command

[adamwalter]

I tried installing this package via wp package install using both the package name and the Git URL to this repo, but it is not working.

$ wp package install boonebgorges/wp-cli-git-helper
Installing package boonebgorges/wp-cli-git-helper (dev-master)
Updating /Users/adam/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json to require the package...
Using Composer to install the package...
---
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
$ wp gh
Error: 'gh' is not a registered wp command. See 'wp help'.

I've tried new bash sessions and different WP sites, to no avail. I am seeing the package in my composer.json under both require and repositories, but I do not see the package in my vendors directory.

Any idea what's up?

Hey @adamwalter - Sorry for the troubles. The Composer requirements work weirdly in this command because of some dependencies I'm trying (unsuccessfully, it seems) to build between different wp-cli commands. For the time being, you should be able to work around it by putting the following into your ~/.wp-cli/config.yml file:

require:
  - /yourhomedir/.wp-cli/commands/vendor/boonebgorges/wp-cli-git-helper.php

Sorry for the trouble. I will try to figure this out when I get a chance.

No luck. That file doesn't exist for me after installation. Not really sure what's up. How would one go about installing this without using wp package install?

[boonebgorges]

Does "that file" mean ~/.wp-cli/config.yml? If it doesn't exist, then create it.

[adamwalter]

No, .wp-cli/commands/vendor/boonebgorges/wp-cli-git-helper.php.

[boonebgorges]

Ah. Clone this repo somewhere - say, ~/.wp-cli/commands/wp-cli-git-helper - and replace the require path with the correct path.

[adamwalter]

Okay, I've got it in there. However, now WP-CLI returns nothing when I try wp gh or even a core command like wp plugin list. Sorry!

[boonebgorges]

It sounds like you might be getting a fatal error, maybe because you're now loading the package more than once. Check your error logs.

My apologies. I discovered that I was having an Allowed memory size exhausted error behind the scenes due to my Mac's CLI PHP settings.

Your package is the first one that needed > 128M of memory to install, so I had never had a problem installing packages before. This led me to direct my focus on the package and not my system. Thanks for the help regardless!

Glad it's working!
