  • Deprecated the extended option in the vip dev-env info command.
  • Updated import and sync commands for reliability.
  • Disallowed running WP-CLI commands from Node Apps for better environment safety.

Dependency Upgrades:

Upgraded typescript from 5.8.3 to 5.9.2, @automattic/vip-search-replace from 1.1.3 to 2.0.0, and @types/node from 24.1.0 to 24.2.0 for improved compatibility and future support.

VIP-CLI: v3.9.3

In v3.8.4, we improved the vip dev-env sync sql command to handle search-replace for multisites that simultaneously utilize both subdomains and subfolders in their URL (e.g. example.test/subfolder-site and subdomain.example.test/subfolder-site). While search-replace now produces consistent results, this change introduced a side-effect: a site’s primary domain is replaced with it’s slugified version.

v3.9.3 addresses this issue and ensures the expected mapping should look like:

primary_domain => env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site
convenience_domain => env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site
any_other_domain_or_subdomain => slugified_any_other_domain_or_subdomain.env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site

Paths are handled respectively as follows: primary_domain/my/site/ => env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site/my/site
