README
Extension for Monolog that routes log output through WP-CLI when running wp commands.
Requirements
- PHP
^7.2 || ^8.0 - monolog/monolog
^2.5
Current stable releases target the Monolog 2 line. Monolog 3 support remains planned for a future major release.
Installation
composer require mhcg/monolog-wp-cli
Usage
WPCLIHandler works like any other Monolog handler. Create the handler and push it onto a logger inside a WP-CLI command context.
<?php use Monolog\Logger; use MHCG\Monolog\Handler\WPCLIHandler; // Create a log channel. $log = new Logger('name'); $log->pushHandler(new WPCLIHandler(Logger::WARNING)); // Output to WP-CLI. $log->warning('This is a warning'); $log->error('An error has occurred'); $log->critical('This will report error and exit out'); $log->debug('Only shown when running wp with --debug'); $log->info('General logging - will not be shown when running wp with --quiet');
WordPress plugin-style example
The following example registers a mycommand WP-CLI command that writes log output through the handler.
This demonstrates the handler only. It is not a recommended project structure for building plugins or commands.
<?php /** * Plugin Name: My Plugin */ // my-plugin.php use Monolog\Logger; use MHCG\Monolog\Handler\WPCLIHandler; // If this file is called directly, abort. if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { die; } // Autoload. $autoload = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/vendor/autoload.php'; if ( file_exists( $autoload ) ) { require_once $autoload; } // 'mycommand' WP-CLI command. if ( defined( 'WP_CLI' ) && WP_CLI ) { function mycommand_command( $args ) { // Create logger. $log = new Logger( 'name' ); $log->pushHandler( new WPCLIHandler( Logger::INFO ) ); // Will only show when wp is run with --debug. $log->debug( 'Some geeky stuff' ); // These will not show when wp is run with --quiet. $log->info( 'Started running' ); $log->warning( 'Something happened of note' ); // Always shows even with --quiet. $log->error( 'An error has occurred' ); // No direct Monolog equivalent of WP_CLI::success. WP_CLI::success( 'Finished running mycommand' ); } WP_CLI::add_command( 'mycommand', 'mycommand_command' ); }
wp mycommand Started running Warning: (WARNING) Something happened of note Error: (ERROR) An error has occurred Success: Finished running mycommand
wp mycommand --quiet Error: (ERROR) An error has occurred
Development
Install dependencies:
composer install
Run local checks:
composer run test
composer run test:runtime-smoke
composer run lint
composer run qa
CI runs on pull requests and pushes to main, validates Composer metadata, runs runtime compatibility smoke checks on PHP 7.2 through 8.4, runs PHPUnit unit tests on PHP 7.2 through 8.4 using a compatible PHPUnit line per PHP version, and runs dependency audit, PHPMD, and PHPCS on PHP 8.3.
Testing and code quality
- PHPUnit runs the test suite from
tests/. - PHPMD checks
src/for code-size and unused-code issues. - PHPCS enforces PSR-12 across
src/andtests/.
