Wp-cli aliases on latest bedrock

Hello, kind of a weird question. Hoping it’s just me as I haven’t seen any mention of this in discourse.

On the latest bedrock cloned today, I have to set my wp-cli alias server path to be: “/srv/www/website.com/current/web/wp” in order for it to detect the wordpress install.

In past versions of bedrock I could set it to something like this for easily interacting with sql files in a special folder: “/srv/www/website.com/current/db”
However, that does not work anymore. Nor does: “/srv/www/website.com/current” - where both worked fine previously.

I wonder if this has to do with the new roots/wp-config and/or how WP_CONTENT_DIR is defined?

The path examples In the roots guide https://roots.io/guides/using-wp-cli-aliases/ are like what used to work for me.

Can you please share your full WP-CLI config that shows the aliases and the messages that you’re seeing when attempting to use them?

wp-cli.yml in site directory:

path: web/wp

@prod:
  ssh: admin@xxx.xxx.xxx/srv/www/website.com/current

@staging:
  ssh: admin@xxx.xxx.xxx/srv/www/website.com/current

@dev:
  ssh: vagrant@website.test/srv/www/website.com/current

Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress install.
Pass --path=`path/to/wordpress` or run `wp core download`.

Wordpress is indeed installed and the site pulls up in a browser

Working fine for me with latest Trellis and Bedrock:

Are you sure you want to reset the 'example_com_development' database? [y/n]

Thank you for testing that, it helped me solve this in short order.

•	Updated global wp-cli from 1.5 to latest
•	composer clear-cache
•	ran composer update on the site with latest bedrock successfully
•	ran vagrant provision and encountered a new error installing acf pro  on a site that had an old version of bedrock (there’s multiple sites on this trellis).
•	Then removed all but the one site with latest bedrock from wordpress_sites and vault, and ran vagrant provision again - got a new error about a plugin in the lock file of the remaining site - but the lock file it’s referencing was the one from the old bedrock version of the site. (no longer had the plugin it was complaining about)
•	ran composer update on the site with latest bedrock successfully - new stuff was downloaded.
•	vagrant destroyed
•	vagrant up
•	wp-cli aliases work now

I must have ran vagrant up before updating bedrock. I made a script that renames the old bedrock site folder, creates a new bedrock site with composer create-project using the original directory name, and then copies in my theme and uploads. Maybe trellis was still aliased to the old directory - best i can guess.

Thanks
