The johnbillion/wp-compat extension that comes with wp-cli-tests checks every WordPress symbol against the WordPress 4.9 baseline that wp-cli-tests configures, and only recognizes function_exists() and method_exists() guards. It reported seven errors, six of which are false positives. `WP_Plugin_Dependencies` is only reachable behind `wp_version_compare( '6.5' )` checks, in `Plugin_Command::install()` for `wp plugin install --with-dependencies` and in the command method itself for `wp plugin install-dependencies`, and WordPress 5.3 merely formalized the already documented `...$arg` parameter of `do_action()`. Ignore those per file and per error identifier, with the reason documented. The seventh is real. `wp_date()` was introduced in WordPress 5.3, but `get_wporg_data()` calls it with no guard at all, so `wp plugin list` fataled on WordPress 4.9 - 5.2 whenever a plugin had a `pubDate` on wordpress.org. Fall back to `date_i18n()`, which predates it and formats the same way, rather than failing the whole listing over one field. Co-authored-by: Pascal Birchler <pascal.birchler@gmail.com>
The functional test matrix runs WordPress 4.9, where `wp_date()` does not exist. The existing wp.org status scenario is tagged `@require-wp-5.2`, so that path was never exercised on 4.9 and the fatal went unnoticed. Add a `@less-than-wp-5.3` scenario asserting that `wp plugin list` still renders `wporg_last_updated` there, which is what the `date_i18n()` fallback is for.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe plugin list command now supports WordPress versions before 5.3 by falling back from ChangesWordPress.org date compatibility
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change prevents plugin listing from fataling on older WordPress versions, but the legacy date fallback may display an incorrect date for some non-UTC sites, and broad compatibility suppressions could hide unrelated issues. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded risks. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

`date_i18n()` before WordPress 5.3 expects a timestamp that already has the site's GMT offset added to it, and formats it with PHP's default timezone, which WordPress pins to UTC. Passing it the true Unix timestamp from `strtotime()` therefore rendered the UTC date, while `wp_date()` renders the site's local date, so the two disagreed by a day on non-UTC sites whenever the release time fell near midnight. Use `get_date_from_gmt()` for the fallback instead. It has been around since WordPress 1.2, handles both `timezone_string` and `gmt_offset`, and is documented to return the date in the site's timezone, so it matches what `wp_date()` does without the legacy timestamp contract. Set the test site to Asia/Tokyo and use a release time of 21:07 UTC, which is already the next day there, so the scenario fails if the fallback ever renders in UTC again.

The
johnbillion/wp-compatPHPStan extension that now ships withwp-cli-testsreported seven errors. It checks every WordPress symbol against the WordPress 4.9 baseline thatwp-cli-testsconfigures, and only recognizesfunction_exists()andmethod_exists()guards, so it cannot seewp_version_compare()checks.Six are false positives. One is a real bug.
The real one
wp_date()was introduced in WordPress 5.3, butPlugin_Command::get_wporg_data()called it with no guard. That method is reached unconditionally fromget_item_list(), sowp plugin listfataled on WordPress 4.9 - 5.2 whenever a plugin had apubDateon wordpress.org.It now falls back to
date_i18n(), which predates it and formats the same way. Erroring out of an entire listing because one field cannot be formatted would be disproportionate, so this degrades rather than fails.Note the fallback is not a drop-in:
date_i18n()takesbool|intwherewp_date()takesint|null, and its "use current time" sentinel isfalserather thannull, hence the?? false.The false positives
WP_Plugin_Dependencies::initialize()/::get_dependencies()(WP 6.5)wp_version_compare( '6.5', '<' )— inPlugin_Command::install()forwp plugin install --with-dependencies, three frames above the call, and in the command method itself forwp plugin install-dependencies$argparameter ofdo_action()(WP 5.3)...$argparameter by adding it to the function signature".

The functional matrix runs WordPress 4.9, where
wp_date()does not exist. The existing wp.org status scenario is tagged@require-wp-5.2, so that path was never exercised on 4.9 and the fatal went unnoticed. Added a@less-than-wp-5.3scenario assertingwp plugin liststill renderswporg_last_updatedthere.Verification
Run locally against the same dependency versions CI resolves (
johnbillion/wp-compat2.0.0,php-stubs/wordpress-stubsv6.9.4,wp-cli/wp-cli-testsv5.2.3):composer phpstan—[OK] No errorscomposer phpcs— cleanphp -l— cleangherkin-lint4.2.4 with the org ruleset — cleanTwo caveats worth stating plainly. Behat could not be run in my environment (its harness needs a provisioned database), so the new scenario has been linted but never executed — the thing to watch is whether
date_i18n()renders the date identically towp_date()on a default-timezone 4.9 install. And GitHub Actions was failing to allocate runners across the org while this was written, so CI may need a re-run once that clears.Generated by Claude Code
