Fix history command error when input starts with dash #78

Copilot · 2025-11-03T14:32:42Z

Bash's history -s command interprets strings starting with - as options rather than arguments, causing errors when users enter expressions like -1 or --help in the shell REPL.

Changes

src/WP_CLI/Shell/REPL.php: Added -- separator to history -s command to mark end of options
features/shell.feature: Added test case for dash-prefixed input

Technical Details

# Before (line 140)
'history -s "$LINE"; '

# After
'history -s -- "$LINE"; '

The -- separator is the POSIX standard way to prevent option parsing of arguments.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>When input prompt starts with '-': /bin/bash: line 1: history: -1: invalid option</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Bug Report

Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

Yes, more specifically, I reviewed the guidelines on how to write clear bug reports.

Describe the current, buggy behavior

Type something that starts with -, i.e. -1:
wp> -1
/bin/bash: line 1: history: -1: invalid option
history: usage: history [-c] [-d offset] [n] or history -anrw [filename] or history -ps arg [arg...]
=> int(-1)
Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug
$ wp shell
wp> -1
/bin/bash: line 1: history: -1: invalid option
history: usage: history [-c] [-d offset] [n] or history -anrw [filename] or history -ps arg [arg...]
=> int(-1)
Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome

If it's negative number in PHP, it should evaluate to negative number:
wp> -1
=> int(-1)

Provide a possible solution

Likely the input prompt in https://github.com/wp-cli/shell-command/blob/main/src/WP_CLI/Shell/REPL.php#L135-L144 need to be escaped?

Just leave this section out if you don't know how to fix it.

Provide additional context/Screenshots

Add any other context about the problem here.

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain (you can just drag&drop images into the Github issue).
