Installation through wp-cli don't create database tables

[patriksima]

If I tried for example:

wp plugin install stream --activate
wp plugin deactivate stream

then I got error:

Chyba databáze WordPressu: Table 'wpscaffolding.prefix_stream' doesn't exist. Konkrétní dotaz: SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM prefix_stream. Příslušná funkce: include('phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/boot-phar.php'), include('phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/wp-cli.php'), WP_CLI\Runner->start, WP_CLI\Runner->_run_command, WP_CLI\Runner->run_command, WP_CLI\Dispatcher\Subcommand->invoke, call_user_func, WP_CLI\Dispatcher\CommandFactory::WP_CLI\Dispatcher{closure}, call_user_func, Plugin_Command->deactivate, deactivate_plugins, do_action('deactivate_plugin'), call_user_func_array, WP_Stream\Connector->callback, call_user_func_array, WP_Stream\Connector_Installer->callback_deactivate_plugin, WP_Stream\Connector->log, call_user_func_array, WP_Stream\Log->log, WP_Stream\DB->insert.
Success: Plugin 'stream' deactivated.

If i ran wp server and then I open WordPress administration, the tables were created.

It appears that the tables are only created when we run the Install::check() method which only happens when an init hook is ran. This likely means that the tables wouldn't be installed until a command gets ran on WP-CLI that triggers the init hook.

After a quick review of WP-CLI, it doesn't look like the init hook is ran on activation, which is likely the cause of the problem. Currently looking for a way to do a manual firing of init, but that isn't proving to be simple.

Maybe it might help wp-cli/wp-cli#1997

Hi,

I was a little digging and I have found command for plugin activation
and there is an action that should trigger your installation procedure.

Hi wrongware - I'm not sure I see the action which you're referring to. Could you please send a pull request as an example?

Hi Luke,

So I figured it out. This condition will never happen when it is triggered via wp-cli.

I've sent pull-request here.

Glad this is solved, but how about Bedrock autoload activation via mu-plugin installs?
