Craft CLI

Command line interface for Craft CMS.

Installation

If you are on Mac, you should install via Homebrew.

brew tap rsanchez/homebrew-craft-cli
brew install craft-cli

Otherwise, you should download the phar: https://github.com/rsanchez/craft-cli/releases/latest

php craft.phar <your:command>

See Composer Installation for alternate ways to install.

Usage

If you are using a multi-environment config, you must specify your environment either using the --environment= flag on your commands, or set the CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT env variable.

craft --environment="mysite.dev" show:config

CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT="mysite.dev" craft show:config

Craft CLI is dotenv aware, and will automagically load environment variables from a .env file in your project root (path can be customised via .craft-cli.php). You may set your Craft environment by setting a CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT variable in your .env file.

Configuration

Craft CLI can be configured in two ways. You may use the craft init command to generate a .craft-cli.php file. Or, if you have installed Craft CLI via composer, you may add an extra object to your composer.json and a craft-cli object within the extra object:

{
    "extra": {
        "craft-cli": {
            "commandDirs": {
                "\\Your\\Namespace": "path/to/commands/"
            }
        }
    }
}

Custom Commands

Craft CLI custom commands are Symfony Console Command objects. You can add custom commands to your .craft-cli.php or composer.json config by adding a namespace and folder path to the commandDirs object.

You can generate a custom command file using the craft generate:command command.

Troubleshooting

Your command-line PHP cannot connect to MySQL

You can test this by running this at the command line (change the DB credentials to your actual credentials):

php -r "var_dump(@mysql_connect('hostname', 'username', 'password', 'database_name'));"

If this prints false, then you know that your CLI PHP is not configured to connect to your database. This is frequently caused by an incorrect default MySQL socket setting.

If you are running MAMP, for instance, and are using the stock Mac OS command-line PHP, you will not be able to connect out-of-the-box. You will need to edit your /etc/php.ini (or wherever your php.ini file is located) file and change the mysql.default_socket and/or the mysqli.default_socket to /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock.

Composer Installation

You can install globally:

composer global require craft-cli/cli

Make sure your global composer installation is added to your PATH in your ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) so that you may run the binary from the command line:

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Or, you can install on a per project basis, rather than globally to your host system.

composer require craft-cli/cli

Then the command would be found in your vendor/bin folder, so you'd run this at your command line:

vendor/bin/craft <your:command>
