unopim UnoPim Exec
Resolve the workspace environment BEFORE prescribing or running any shell command. A command that is correct on one workspace (vendor/bin/pest against a host MySQL) fails on another (.env pointing at a container hostname, a different serving port, Elasticsearch disabled).
Usage
Run once per session, from anywhere, against the project root:
skills/unopim-exec/detect-env.sh "$PROJECT_ROOT"
It prints exactly five KEY=VALUE lines and nothing else, so it is safe to parse:
| Key | Meaning |
|---|---|
WRAPPER |
Command prefix — php, or a docker compose exec -T <service> php form when the host has no PHP |
APP_URL |
The URL this checkout is actually served on; use it for Playwright's BASE_URL too |
DB_OVERRIDE |
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 when the configured DB_HOST does not resolve from this shell |
ES_OVERRIDE |
ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLED=false when the Elasticsearch host does not resolve and the checkout has not already disabled it |
PEST_ENV |
The two overrides joined, ready to prefix a command: env $PEST_ENV vendor/bin/pest |
An empty value means "no override needed" — not "unknown". The script exits 0
even when the checkout has no .env, so a missing file is never a hard stop.
If detect-env.sh is unavailable, do the same reading by hand before the first
command: .env for APP_URL, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_PREFIX,
ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLED and ELASTICSEARCH_HOST; docker-compose.yml (and
docker-compose.apache.yml if present) for which services are containerized.
State which configuration you detected, and why, before running anything.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming
127.0.0.1:8000. Several checkouts of one branch are often served side by side on one machine. ReadAPP_URL; never guess a port. - Overriding the database but not Elasticsearch. Model observers fire on category and product writes, so an unreachable Elasticsearch host fails tests that never mention search.
- Treating an unresolvable hostname as an application bug.
getaddrinfo for … failedandNoNodeAvailableExceptionare environment faults; re-run withPEST_ENV, do not "fix" the code. - Baking a detected value into a skill, a script, or any committed file. Detection is portable; hosts, ports and credentials are not, and must never be committed.
