Problem parsing plugin list from file
I'm trying to install a list of plugins from a text file. This file contains the output of wp plugin list command. Because i saw in the docs that you can merge commands like this to reinstall a bunch of plugins.
wp plugin install $(wp plugin list --field=name)
Anyhow, this text file is created in a separate process.
wp plugin list --fields=name,version | tee plugin_list.txt
But when i tried to run the install command using this list..
wp plugin install $(cat plugin_list.txt)
It gives me weird output.
: Plugin not found.-----------------------+---------+

EDIT: here's the contents of the plugin_list.txt file.
+--------------------------------+---------+

| all-in-one-wp-migration | 7.19 |
| all-in-one-seo-pack | 3.4.2 |
| amp | 1.5.2 |
| wp-cloud-mgmt-console | 1.2 |
| google-analytics-for-wordpress | 7.10.4 |
| hello | 1.7.2 |
| jetpack | 8.4.1 |
| simple-tags | 2.5.7 |
| w3-total-cache | 0.13.2 |
| wp-mail-smtp | 1.9.0 |
+--------------------------------+---------+
Any ideas? Is this even doable?
@rizkysyazuli This is passible with same small changes to the process, for example use
wp plugin list --fields=name,version --format=csv | tee plugin_list.txt
Moreover, GitHub issues are meant for enhancement requests and specific, reproducible bugs, not for general support questions. For WP-CLI support options, please review http://wp-cli.org/#support
The easiest way to get support is to join us in the #cli channel on the Make WordPress Slack Team.
Understood. Pls forgive me then. But i still got questionable outputs though from the wp plugin install command. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not..
Again, this is the updated list using csv format.

akismet
all-in-one-wp-migration
all-in-one-seo-pack

wp-mail-smtp
And this is the log from wp plugin install $(cat ./wordpress/plugin_list.csv).

Error: No plugins installed.
All 11 plugins in the list are already installed. Although not activated. I expect to get 11 lines of notification saying they're already installed. Not this.
I'm still trying out WP-CLI. So these commands ran on the same WP installation. Which is served from Bitnami WordPress Docker image.
Here's the output of wp --info.

Please check this if you wont to use exact plugin version
#!/bin/bash
FILE='pl.txt'
wp plugin list --fields=name,version --format=csv > $FILE
tail -n +2 "$FILE" > "$FILE.tmp" && mv "$FILE.tmp" "$FILE"
while IFS=$(echo ',') read name version
do
wp plugin install $name --version=$version --force --activate
done < $FILE > $FILE.log
and use tail combined with --force parameter to wp plugin install if installing latest version is acceptable. Skip --force if you wont only activate those plugins - see wp plugin install documentation for details.
Ah, i see. So i have to loop through the list and install one at a time. Got it then.
