Question about wp-env.json

[johnhooks]

Hey, I'm sorry for posting here, but there isn't a discussion area in the movie demo.

I noticed, in the "config" of the wp-env.json in the movie demo, the property PERMALINK_STRUCTURE, it's just what I was looking for for another project! I tried searching for what config options are available, and turned up with just the standard documentation on wp-env.json and it didn't seem comprehensive. Do you all have a good reference?

Also if there is some better place for me to ask questions about the latest in block development, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hey @johnhooks! 👋 Thanks for your question!

I've just enabled the discussions on the WP movies repo and will transfer this discussion there so it will now appear under that repo.

As for your question: There is some documentation about this feature of wp-env in https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-env/#default-wp-config-values. You can use any value (like PERMALINK_STRUCTURE) that is a valid value in the wp-config.php.

Also, if you have questions about wp-env specifically or even about (latest in) block development in general, you can ask in the Discussions of the main Gutenberg repo.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Thanks for the tips. I've tried the discussion area on Gutenberg on a verity of topics with varying levels of success.

I tried adding PERMALINK_STRUCTURE to my wp-env.json and it didn't work. I don't see it listed in

https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-env/#default-wp-config-values.

Or here

https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/

I also tried searching for any information on the PERMALINK_STRUCTURE variable in WordPress, and turned up nothing. Totally understand this issue isn't related to this repo, just trying to figure out the easiest way to make this a configuration that is saved in a project and applied to every new instance of the wp-env container.
