Adds two environment tags to utils/behat-tags.php, so that scenarios which cannot pass in a given environment are filtered out rather than failing for reasons unrelated to what they test.

Both came out of running the WP-CLI suites against a WordPress build produced by the WordPress core build process, as part of https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64103.

@require-wp-stable

Some scenarios need a version of WordPress that WordPress.org knows about — verifying an installation against the published checksums, for instance. A development build does not qualify, so the tag is filtered out when WP_CLI_TEST_CORE_ZIP is set, and when WP_VERSION is trunk or nightly.

The nightly and trunk part means this may also cover scenarios that currently fail in the nightly runs over at wp-cli/automated-tests, not only the ones testing an archive.

@require-mysql-socket

Some scenarios connect to the database through a socket, which does not exist when the database server runs in a container and is only reachable over TCP. config-command has one such scenario, which probes WP_CLI_TEST_DBSOCKET, /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and /tmp/mysql.sock; the tag looks in the same places, so the two agree on what counts as available.

Notes

Both tags follow @require-extension- and the operating system tags in only being filtered out when a feature file actually carries them. That keeps the emitted filter limited to what the suite being run uses, and means the output for existing suites is unchanged.

Nothing is tagged by this pull request. Applying the tags to the scenarios that need them happens in the individual command packages, and is easier to review separately.

Unit tests cover both tags in each direction, plus the case where neither tag is used.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added environment-aware scenario filtering for stable WordPress and MySQL socket requirements.
    • Scenarios can now be skipped automatically when custom, trunk, or nightly WordPress builds are used, or when no database socket is available.
    • Added support for overriding the database socket configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new scenario tags, filtering behavior, and configuration options.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for WordPress version, database socket, and unused-tag scenarios.

Scenarios that verify an installation against the checksums published by
WordPress.org cannot pass against a build WordPress.org knows nothing
about, and scenarios that connect to the database through a socket
cannot pass when the database server runs in a container and is only
reachable over TCP. Both currently fail for reasons unrelated to what
they test.
`@require-wp-stable` is filtered out when `WP_CLI_TEST_CORE_ZIP` is set
and when `WP_VERSION` is `trunk` or `nightly`. `@require-mysql-socket` is
filtered out when no socket can be found, looking in the same locations
as the scenarios that use one.
Following `@require-extension-` and the operating system tags, both are
only filtered out when a feature file actually carries them, so that the
filter stays limited to what the suite being run uses.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added environment-specific Behat scenario tags. @require-wp-stable filters archive, trunk, and nightly environments. @require-mysql-socket filters environments without a usable MySQL socket. Tests and documentation cover both tags.

Changes

Environment-specific scenario filtering

Layer / File(s)Summary
Tag detection and environment checks
utils/behat-tags.php, tests/tests/TestBehatTags.php
Added tag scanning, MySQL socket detection, and test helpers for temporary fixtures and environment variables.
Conditional filtering and validation
utils/behat-tags.php, tests/tests/TestBehatTags.php, .readme-partials/USING.md, README.md
Added filtering for unstable WordPress environments and unavailable MySQL sockets. Tests cover supported and unsupported conditions. Documentation describes both tags and the WP_CLI_TEST_DBSOCKET override.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 86c5d

Database scenarios may be filtered incorrectly when the test environment explicitly uses TCP but a local socket also exists, allowing socket-dependent tests to run and fail for environmental reasons. Merge should wait for the host-handling fix or explicit owner acceptance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use local socket fallbacks for an explicit TCP database host.

When WP_CLI_TEST_DBHOST uses host:3306, the database configuration uses TCP. Lines 187-191 can still find an unrelated local socket and retain @require-mysql-socket. The tagged scenario can then run against a TCP-only configured database.

Return false for an explicit TCP port or remote host. Use default socket locations only when the host is unset or resolves through the local socket path. Add a regression test for WP_CLI_TEST_DBHOST=127.0.0.1:3306.

Also applies to: 255-258
