Spin up an ephemeral WordPress Playground with agentic-admin mounted from the local working directory.
Important: Mount + Activation Gotchas
- Do NOT include
activatePluginin the blueprint steps. Mounted directories are not available when blueprint steps execute, so activation will fail with "Plugin file does not exist." - Do NOT use
mountBeforeInstall— it does not help; the mount is still unavailable at blueprint step time. - Always use an empty blueprint (
{"steps": []}) with themountoption, then activate via WP-CLI after startup.
Steps
-
Start Playground with an empty blueprint and mount the plugin:
- Blueprint:
{"steps": []} - Options:
{"mount": ["<project-root>:/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/agentic-admin"]} - Where
<project-root>is the current working directory
- Blueprint:
-
Activate the plugin via WP-CLI (only after Playground is running):
plugin activate agentic-admin
-
Report the URL and credentials to the user:
- Site URL (typically http://127.0.0.1:9400)
- Plugin page:
<site-url>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=agentic-admin - Credentials: admin / password
-
If any step fails, check logs with
get_playground_logsand report the error.
