WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA as an evn argument - what I am missing?

[lejeczek]

Hi guys.
I'm trying to use WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA as an -e argument and I've tried a number of variations and container says:

...
WordPress not found in /var/www/html - copying now...
WARNING: '/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/akismet' exists! (not copying the WordPress version)
Complete! WordPress has been successfully copied to /var/www/html
No 'wp-config.php' found in /var/www/html, but 'WORDPRESS_...' variables supplied; copying 'wp-config-docker.php' (WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA WORDPRESS_DB_CHARSET WORDPRESS_DB_HOST WORDPRESS_DB_NAME WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD WORDPRESS_DB_USER WORDPRESS_DEBUG WORDPRESS_HOME WORDPRESS_SITEURL)
...

and yet resulting wp-config.php - or wherever these extra vars should go into - does not seem to contain any of those vars.

What I'm missing would you know?
many thanks, L.

If you read through https://github.com/docker-library/wordpress/blob/5ec12a3ef21493a12f3d211e0d69d0c6a30a9794/wp-config-docker.php, you'll see that we no longer update the file to embed the environment variables directly, but instead read the environment variables at runtime, which makes them a lot easier to modify over time.

See #557 for more information on how/when/why we made this change.
