Plugin exits php when run in script mode

[apinstein]

When using a php script to manipulate a WP install, the force-https plugin will still try to load itself, and the start function will die(), thus making it impossible for the main script to ever execute.

I see a related issue #6 but that seems to be a fix that just detects WP_CLI. In my situation I have a custom CLI script.

My suggestion is that the script should only load itself when not in CLI mode.

I should add I tried updating my plugin to 1.3.0 but WP thinks that 1.2.0 is the most current version...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure the entire process you are using, but if you are using a custom script to install WordPress (etc) then you can consider the upcoming defined constants.

These are planned for the next release 1.4.0:

/* Force HTTPS Functions */
define('FORCE_HTTPS', true);
define('FORCE_HTTPS_EXTERNAL_LINKS', false);
define('FORCE_HTTPS_EXTERNAL_RESOURCES', true);
define('FORCE_HTTPS_INTERNAL_LINKS', true);
define('FORCE_HTTPS_INTERNAL_RESOURCES', true);

As the plugin is now hosted on GitHub, the old versions do not detect updates. This will be fixed in future versions that auto-update from this GitHub repo (not WordPress.org).

But I'll have our team take a look at your suggestion re: further support of CLI.

I don't think that helps. since you cannot redefine a define constant. A script couldn't leverage those settings to make a difference.

My thinking was that the plugin should basically "skip initializing itself" if the current execution environment isn't a web server.
