Support `DB_PATH` for SQLite database commands by JanJakes · Pull Request #351 · wp-cli/db-command

JanJakes · 2026-10-02T07:15:12Z

SQLite Database Integration 3.1 will introduce DB_PATH as the primary database path setting. Legacy constants remain supported, but DB_PATH takes precedence when both are defined (and conflicting legacy values only trigger warnings).

This PR prepares WP-CLI file operations for that change by preferring DB_PATH while retaining the existing fallbacks for older plugin versions.

The tests cover conflicting, matching, and legacy-only configurations through export and drop and verify that the other database stays unchanged. The tests were also run against the merged SQLite plugin code.

The Codecov job is failing because coverage is collected only from the MySQL job. The SQLite jobs pass but run without coverage enabled, so Codecov reports the new SQLite lines as uncovered.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- SQLite database commands now use the configured DB_PATH when available, so exports and database removal target the selected database.
- Removing a selected SQLite database leaves other databases unchanged. Exported data excludes records from other databases.

Use the database selected by WordPress when legacy constants conflict, while retaining the existing fallback for older plugin versions. Cover file operations with conflicting, matching, and legacy settings, including checks that the other database remains unchanged. WordPress/sqlite-database-integration#512

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SQLite database path lookup now checks DB_PATH before FQDB and fallback paths. A feature scenario covers four path-constant configurations and checks that export and drop affect the selected database. Existing SQLite CRUD and export/import scenarios are no longer skipped on Windows.

Changes

SQLite database path selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
DB_PATH precedence and feature coverage `src/DB_Command_SQLite.php`, `features/db-sqlite-path.feature`, `features/db.feature`	`get_sqlite_db_path()` now returns `DB_PATH` when defined. The new scenario checks that export uses the selected database and that dropping it leaves the other database unchanged. Existing SQLite CRUD and export/import scenarios are no longer skipped on Windows.

The SQLite path scenario has a small, localized test-only issue: its hash checks should use wp eval to follow the project’s Behat command rule.

observed — features (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
observed — src (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in src/DB_Command_SQLite.php: get_sqlite_db_path() now returns DB_PATH when defined, taking precedence over the existing FQDB check and all constructed or alternative paths.
observed — Modified behavior in features/db-sqlite-path.feature: Adds a SQLite scenario outline with four path-constant configurations. Each case creates distinct marker tables in selected and other database files, then verifies export contains only the selected marker and dropping the selected database leaves the other file’s hash unchanged.
observed — Modified behavior in features/db.feature: The SQLite DB CRUD scenario is no longer marked @skip-windows, and its Windows file-locking skip comment was removed.
observed — Modified behavior in features/db.feature: The SQLite DB export/import scenario is no longer marked @skip-windows, and its Windows file-locking skip comment was removed.

The locking issue on Windows appears resolved by SQLite integration #331, which implemented connection cleanup, so I’ve removed those two skips in 592febb.

For this PR, we only needed to fix PHP CLI quotes in 2b5016b.

Fixed in 7e327c8. File operations now reject :memory: for both DB_PATH and legacy FQDB.

Double-quote the PHP command-line argument so the database hash checks also run under Windows cmd.exe.

Remove the Windows skips from the SQLite CRUD and export/import scenarios. Both pass repeatedly with SQLite integration 3.0.2 and the merged DB_PATH changes on Windows Server 2022 with PHP 8.5. The skips predate the plugin's connection cleanup in close(), which appears to resolve the file-locking failures. wp-cli#323 WordPress/sqlite-database-integration#331 https://github.com/JanJakes/db-command/actions/runs/37290138622
