An error occurred while executing WP-CLI command for instance

Josch

New Pleskian
Hi,

since some days i get the following cron error message:

[2019-06-15 12:53:31.787] ERR [extension/wp-toolkit] An error occurred while executing WP-CLI command for instance: WordPress instance #24
('https://www.xyz.de')

When I execute the command that causes that cron error manually:

/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/scripts/instances-auto-update.php'

I get the same error message in the terminal.

I searched everywhere but haven't found any hint, what to do to solve this.

I disconnected the two WordPress instances via Plesk > Wordpress and reconnected them - no change.

I hope you can help me with this problem.

Thank you in advance for your help

Josch
 
We have released a small WPT 4.1.1 update which should fix the wp-cli timeout issues. Let me know if the problem still persists. Thanks!
 
I'm still getting this error and I have latest WP Toolkit 4.2.2. I'm also running Cloudlinux with LVE but I only have limits set on CPU of 600%. There are no other limits set:

ERR [extension/wp-toolkit] An error occurred while executing WP-CLI command for instance: WordPress instance #123

panel.log doesn't show any other info. Not all files copied either. It's missing wp-includes and I'm not sure if that's where it's getting hung up.

Is a way to get more log detail with this error?

Thanks @custer and @Monty for reacting on this error/bug report. I would be very interested if it is already fixed or not!
Because we have the exact same error as @Josch described.

Here you can see the error again.

The error is visible if one is enabling the error reporting for the following scheduled task.

/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/scripts/instances-auto-update.php

Maybe somebody can explain what this scheduled task is doing. As far I know Wordpress can update their plugins/themes/etc. on its own!?
Many thanks!
