Failed Audit Request

If you attempt to audit a theme or plugin without adding a version number to the endpoint, or an invalid version, the API will respond with the following error message.

{
    "code": "rest_post_invalid_altid_lookup",
    "message": "Invalid post lookup.",
    "data": {
        "status": 404
    }
}

This also means that if you attempt to view an audit that doesn’t exist, you will get the same error. For example, if you try to go to the following endpoint and Tide does not have an audit yet.

https://wptide.org/api/tide/v1/audit/wporg/plugin/akismet

You would need to initiate an audit for the plugin with the version first:

https://wptide.org/api/tide/v1/audit/wporg/plugin/akismet/4.1.1

Then the endpoint without a version would work as expected.

Mounts Denied

If you see the following error in your OS X terminal when bringing up the API you need to add the /Users directory to the Preferences -> File Sharing section of the Docker for Mac app, or whatever the root directory is for you $GOPATH.

ERROR: for wptide_api-mysql_1  Cannot start service api-mysql: b'Mounts denied: ...'

Local Development

If you run any of the phpcs commands on the Local Development page and get an error, here are a couple hints that might unblock you.

Bad Substitution

You get a bad substitution error because your OS doesn’t like the ${1:.} string in the composer.json:

./vendor/bin/phpcs ${1:.} --standard=.phpcs.ruleset.xml
sh: 1: Bad substitution

Replace both instances of the ${1:.} string inside the composer.json file with either a . or $1. The . will mean that the composer phpcs filename.php and composer phpcbf filename.php commands will no longer function and you must process every file. However, if you change it to $1 and it works that means you must always supply a path like composer phpcs . or composer phpcs filname.php and running the command without a path will fail.

Error Code

Sometimes your plugin or theme will cause the phpcs script to choke and give you back various error codes:

Script ./vendor/bin/phpcs ${1:.} --standard=.phpcs.ruleset.xml handling the phpcs event returned with error code 2

If that happens you need to troubleshoot the issue by running the PHPCompatibilityWP and WordPress standards separately to isolate the error.

./vendor/bin/phpcs . --standard=PHPCompatibilityWP --extensions=php --ignore="*/vendor/*,*/node_modules/*" --runtime-set testVersion 5.2-
./vendor/bin/phpcs . --standard=WordPress --extensions=php --ignore="*/vendor/*,*/node_modules/*"
