Calling PHP modules that access Processwire from a Bash script - Connection Refused error

[FrancisChung]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a bash script that automates our release procedures.

1 of the things I've written is a php module that clears the Procache settings and resets.

The php module runs if I call it from a browser but if I call it from a bash script I get a connection refused error.

Error: 	Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (in /Users/FrancisChung/Sites/Develop/wire/core/ProcessWire.php line 293)

This error message was shown because: you are using the command line API Error has been logged. 

Assuming this is a security precaution, I was wondering if there is a different way around this?
Perhaps write a container php module that  launches the bash scripts instead?

Have you tried to login a specific user from within the script? Maybe a specialy created user 'cli', who has superuser rights granted?

I'm not sure, but if you run that script form the browser, and you was logged in before with your admin account, than the script also runs in that account.

Hi @horst,

How do you login to PW via the API? I don't see a login method of any kind on the API Cheatsheet?

Never mind, I just saw the login method in the Session object

[horst]

// example
// PW3, bootstrap check user-account
	$PWuser = empty($_GET['user']) ? '' : $_GET['user'];
	$PWpass = empty($_GET['pass']) ? '' : $_GET['pass'];
	if(!$wire->get('user')->isLoggedIn() || !$wire->get('user')->hasRole('superuser|chef')) {
		$u = $wire->get('session')->login($PWuser, $PWpass);
		if($u) {
			$wire->get('user') = $u;
		}
		if(!$wire->get('user')->isLoggedIn() && !$wire->get('user')->hasRole('superuser|chef')) {
			echo "\n\nERROR: Incorrect User-Login!\n\nScript stops now!\n";
			exit(1);
		}
		echo "\nSuccessful logged in as: " . $wire->get('user')->name ."\n";
	}
	else {
		echo "\nAllready logged in as: " . $wire->get('user')->name ."\n";
	}

Hi Horst. thanks for the post. I was wondering about the above as I had to do this to work?
 

           if($u) {
                wire('user')->user = $u;
            }

@FrancisChung, uhhm, I changed wire-> to $wire-> on the fly for the example to be more future ready with PW3 and possible multi instances.

So, please, can you test if it works with this too:

            if($u) {
                $wire('user')->user = $u;
            }

(see the preceding $, to invoke the instances aware $wire, and not the (static) main wire instance)
