WP-CLI: plugin and theme not showing installed items

    Running wp plugin list or wp theme list does not show any installed plugin/theme. This has been previously working correctly.

    All other wp-cli commands appear to be working fine.

    Running on an AWS EC2 Amazon AMI as the default ec2-user. The web server is Apache 2.4 running under apache:apache. I have added the ec2-user to the apache group and I have run the commands using sudo ( sudo wp plugin list --allow-root )

    Tried installing a new plugin using wp plugin install theme-check --activate (and the sudo version). This appears to work and the plugin is listed using wp plugin list BUT the plugin is deactivated by WordPress and the wp-content/plugin directory does NOT contain the newly installed plugin.

    I tried deleting and re-installing wp-cli.phar from scratch with no change.

    Q1) Is there a log of wp-cli actions/results anywhere?

    Q2) Where does wp-cli get it’s info from? (I’ve been parsing github but my PHP coding is not that hot)

    Q3) Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Many thanks in advance
    Ian

    AFAIK only the usual access and error logs are the only logs. WP-CLI is part of the overall WP name space so it gets information like any WP plugin — by calling WP functions which get data through SQL queries to the DB.

    If the plugin does not even show up on the server after an apparent installation, I would suspect a permission or security issue on the server external to anything WP code. Any misleading feedback on the part of WP is unfortunate but a side effect of the underlying error. Fix the error and WP will more than likely work correctly.
