Summary

  • wp --info (and wp --version) silently fell through to showing general help when WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE=1 was set, instead of printing the CLI info/version screen.
  • Root cause: Configurator::unmix_assoc_args() only forwards "global" flags (those appearing before any positional/command argument) into the parsed args when they're part of the known runtime config spec. --info and --version aren't spec entries — they're special-cased later in Runner::back_compat_conversions() via $assoc_args['info'] / $assoc_args['version'] — so under strict mode they were dropped entirely before ever reaching that check.
  • Fix: unknown global flags (not part of the spec) now fall through to $assoc_args, matching non-strict mode's existing behavior. Known spec keys (e.g. --url) are unaffected and still route to $runtime_config only, preserving strict mode's original global/local disambiguation behavior.

Test plan

  • WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE=1 php php/boot-fs.php --info now prints the info screen (previously showed general help)
  • WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE=1 php php/boot-fs.php --version works
  • Non-strict mode --info / --version unaffected (regression check)
  • WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE=1 php php/boot-fs.php --url=example.com cli info confirms known spec keys (--url) still route to runtime config as before
  • Added testParseArgsStrictModeKeepsUnknownGlobalFlags to tests/ConfiguratorTest.php
  • Full PHPUnit suite passes (524 tests)
  • PHPCS clean on changed files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Unknown global flags, including flags without values such as --info, are now preserved when strict argument mode is enabled.
    • Repeated unknown non-boolean flags are correctly collected instead of being overwritten.
    • Boolean flags continue to use last-value behavior.
    • Recognized runtime configuration options, such as --url, continue to be routed correctly in strict mode.

…_MODE

Under strict args mode, global flags not part of the runtime config spec
were silently discarded instead of surfacing as assoc args, so `--info`
and `--version` (handled via back-compat conversion, not the spec) never
reached Runner and `wp --info` fell through to showing general help.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Strict argument parsing now retains unknown global flags in $assoc_args. Repeated non-boolean values aggregate into arrays, while boolean flags use last-wins behavior. Tests verify flag retention and runtime configuration routing.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve unknown flags and validate routing
php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php, tests/ConfiguratorTest.php
Strict mode preserves unknown global flags in $assoc_args, aggregates repeated non-boolean values, and applies last-wins behavior to boolean flags. The test verifies info => true, repeated values, runtime configuration routing for url, and environment restoration.

Comment thread php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php
Fix a regression flagged by CodeRabbit: repeated unknown global flags
(e.g. --foo=1 --foo=2) were overwriting each other under
WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE instead of aggregating into an array, unlike
the non-strict branch and strict mode's own local_assoc handling.

🟢 Approval recommended

The behavioral change is narrowly scoped, aligns strict-mode behavior with non-strict handling for unknown globals, and is covered by a targeted PHPUnit test.

Pull request overview

Fixes wp --info / wp --version being lost when WP_CLI_STRICT_ARGS_MODE=1 by ensuring unknown global flags aren’t dropped during argument parsing, so Runner::back_compat_conversions() can still rewrite them to cli info / cli version.

Changes:

  • Adjust Configurator::unmix_assoc_args() strict-mode handling so unknown global flags fall through into $assoc_args (while known runtime config flags still route to $runtime_config).
  • Preserve existing repeated-flag aggregation behavior for unknown global flags in strict mode (non-boolean repeats become arrays; boolean flags remain last-wins).
  • Add a PHPUnit test covering unknown global flags retention and confirming known runtime keys (e.g. --url) still route to runtime config in strict mode.
File summaries
File Description
php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php Keeps unknown global flags in strict mode (and aggregates repeats) instead of dropping them, while preserving routing of known runtime config keys.
tests/ConfiguratorTest.php Adds coverage ensuring strict mode retains unknown global flags like --info and maintains expected runtime-config routing for known spec keys.
