@semantic-release/wordpress

semantic-release plugin to create a zip file for a WordPress plugin or theme.

node-current (scoped) npm (scoped) Release Scrutinizer coverage (GitHub/BitBucket)

Step Description
verifyConditions Verify if the theme / plugin is valid. Check that the necessary files exist and if they contain needed metadata
prepare Copy the theme / plugins files and optionally prepare the asset bundle
publish Create a zip file for the theme / plugin, and optionally zip the assets
success Clean up the intermediate files

Install

$ npm install -D @semantic-release/wordpress

Usage

The plugin can be configured in the semantic-release configuration file:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    ["@semantic-release/wordpress", {
      "type": "plugin",
      "slug" : "my-plugin",
      "withAssets": true,
      "withReadme": true,
      "withVersionFile": true,
    }]
  ]
}

With this example, for each release, the plugin will:

  • Verify that the plugin is valid
  • Create a zip file for the plugin (/tmp/wp-release/my-plugin.zip)
  • Create a zip file for the assets (/tmp/wp-release/assets.zip)
  • Copy the readme.txt file (/tmp/wp-release/readme.txt)
  • Create a version file (/tmp/wp-release/version.txt)

Configuration

Plugin uses no environment variables, but has a lot of configuration options

Options

Options Description Default
type Type of the package to create. Can be plugin or theme None. You must set this explicitly
slug Package slug. None. You must set this explicitly
path The path of root folder that contains plugin or theme ./
withAssets Does the package have assets (screenshots, banners, logo) false
withReadme Does the package have a readme.txt file false
withVersionFile Do we need to create a file with the next release version true
releasePath Base path for all of the release files /tmp/wp-release
versionFiles Array of additional files containing the package version. []
include Files to include in the package zip file. **/*
exclude Files to exclude from the package zip file List of files and folders defined in constants.ts

Versioning

Plugin will automatically replace versions in your main file (for plugins) and the style.css file (for themes). We follow the WordPress codex, so your plugin file must have the same slug as the plugin folder.

If you have other variables which need to have the version replaced, you can add them to the versionFiles option.

If you need any further processing of the package files, next release version will be output to /tmp/wp-release/VERSION file, if the withVersionFile option is set to true.

Important

Version in your plugin / theme must be set to 0.0.0 for this plugin to work

Assets

If your package is on wp.org repository, you might have assets (screenshots, banners, logos) which you want to include in the assets file. Plugin respects the Codex, and expects those to be in .wordpress-org/assets folder. Main theme screenshot should be named screenshot and should be there as well.

Readme

readme.txt is a special Markdown file needed for packages on wp.org to work. It can be in the .wordpress-org folder, or in the repository root.
Plugin will automatically replace the version in the file if the withReadme option is set to true.

Warning

Version in your readme.txt must also be set to 0.0.0 for this plugin to work

Include / Exclude

By default, plugin will include all files in the package zip file. If you want to exclude some files, you can use the exclude option. It accepts an array of files and folders, and uses glob for path resolution. You can also use the include option which works in the same manner.

Notes

  • Include and exclude options are not mutually exclusive so you can use both.
  • Plugin also looks for .distinclude and .distexclude / .distignore files which take precedence over the options set in the plugin.
  • By default we exclude a lot of build artifacts and files which are not needed in the package. You can see the full list in constants.ts.
