I encounter an issue while trying to restore a WP site using the new CLI installation method:

PHP Warning: Undefined variable $status in /redacted/installation/platform/src/Cli/Step/Replacedata.php on line 71

ERROR

Unhandled Error exception

Call to a member function getWarnings() on null

-- /redacted/installation/platform/src/Cli/Step/Replacedata.php:71

 

Double checking the Restoredata.php, it seems like $status is undefined.

Don't you love it when the IDE's “smart” features auto-incorrect your code? Me neither. It took me a while to figure out which option I had to turn off in phpStorm so it would stop “helpfully” suggesting the wrong variable name and other nonsense. Unfortunately, that happened after I wrote BRS 10, and this bit slipped through the review process.

This $status should obviously be $engine. Please change that to go past that problem.

Works for me, thank you! I guess there will be a new WP release with that fix in the next couple of weeks?

Yep. I meant to make a release today but there's another potential issue I am waiting feedback for. Once I have the feedback I'll know if I am doing a release tomorrow or on Monday.
