WP CLI: environment variables not set #359

Description

@fbertram

Quick summary

I want to use WP CLI on Windows. When I open a shell by clicking Studio's 'Terminal' button, the environment variables needed to run WP CLI are not set correctly.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start the Studio App on Windows
  2. Start an existing WordPress project
  3. Click on the 'Open in Terminal' button to open a shell
  4. enter a command, e.g., wp user list

What you expected to happen

WP CLI should launch and execute the desired command

What actually happened

because PATH is not set correctly, the wp command is not found. Also, in order to successfully execute C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\studio\app-1.0.5\resources\bin\wp.bat, the variable STUDIO_APP_PATH must be set.

Impact

Some (< 50%)

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

Platform

Windows

Logs or notes

A possible workaround is to:

  • set STUDIO_APP_PATH to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\studio\app-1.0.5\Studio.exe
  • set PATH to include C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\studio\app-1.0.5\resources\bin
