wp core download --skip-content doesn't create empty "plugins" dir

[shula]

According to docs, wp core download --skip-content doesn't install default plugins.

However, it doesn't also creates the wp-content/plugins/ sub-directory itself.

problem: Some wordpress parts assume it exists, and fail when trying to deploy plugins.

for example: install wordpress importer will always fail in this situation, without a reason, and without an error log entry.

Please create /plugins/ dir even if it's empty.

thanks :)

That should first be reported upstream as it seems to be a bug in WordPress Core. Are you up for creating an issue about this on WP Core Trac?

btw: is wp-cli part of wp core? Should this issue be closed?

WP-CLI is part of the WordPress Project and is one of the many teams that make it up, just like Core is a team. You can see an overview of the different teams here: https://make.wordpress.org/
