Search finds plugins, but install doesn't.

[jondkelley]

I'm noticing wp plugin acting a bit odd. This is in WP-CLI 1.5.1. I haven't seen an explanation for this behavior in the docs.

Search

wp plugin search "Force Strong Passwords"
PHP Notice:  Constant WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE already defined in . 
phar:///usr/bin/wp/php/WP_CLI/Runner.php(1138) : eval()'d code on line 99
Success: Showing 10 of 49 plugins.

Install

wp --path=/srv/wordpress plugin activate "force-strong-passwords"
PHP Notice:  Constant WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE already defined in . 
phar:///usr/bin/wp/php/WP_CLI/Runner.php(1138) : eval()'d code on line 99
Warning: The 'force-strong-passwords' plugin could not be found.

@jondkelley The output shows that you have a configuration issue with the install you're using to install the plugin:

PHP Notice:  Constant WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE already defined in . 
phar:///usr/bin/wp/php/WP_CLI/Runner.php(1138) : eval()'d code on line 99

This points to some problem with wp-config.php or other config files that redefine an existing constant.

Please make sure your setup is correctly configured and then test whether you can replicate the issue.

A quick test on my system let me install the above plugin without issues:

I'm not clear if this issue is still a thing. I've tested on the master branch with WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE defined twice.
