Since the shared workflow runs the Behat workers in Docker containers (wp-cli/.github#313), 30 of wp-cli/wp-cli's Behat jobs fail on main, on scenarios that pass on the runner itself:

• help.feature:1450, on PHP 7.2 to 8.0, with sh: 1: /usr/bin/more: not found. The images of those PHP versions are based on Debian buster and bullseye, which keep more in /bin only. The image now links it into /usr/bin where it's missing, as on the runners.
• utils.feature:34 and :54, on PHP 8.1 and later against MySQL 8.0 and 8.4, with WARNING: option --ssl-verify-server-cert is disabled, because of an insecure passwordless login. on STDERR.
  • The images of those versions use Debian trixie's MariaDB 11.8 client. It prints this whenever the password doesn't come from the command line, and run_mysql_command() passes it through MYSQL_PWD. The MySQL client on the runners doesn't.
  • The scenarios use --no-defaults, so an option file can't switch it off, and MARIADB_TLS_DISABLE_PEER_VERIFICATION or turning off TLS on the server doesn't help either.
  • A small mariadb wrapper in /usr/local/bin now adds --skip-ssl-verify-server-cert after the option-file options. The server is a throwaway in the worker's own network namespace.

Testing

• Reproduced locally with the same database container settings and shared network the runner uses. With the wrapper, MySQL 8.0 and 8.4 connect with an empty STDERR, and a wrong password still fails.
• Built the image for PHP 7.4 and 8.3: both have /usr/bin/more, and mariadb resolves to the wrapper.
• wp-cli/wp-cli on CI, pinned to this branch: run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Updates
  • Docker images now provide the MariaDB command with support for leading option-file flags and a setting to skip server certificate verification.
  • The more command is available at an additional standard location when it is present in the image.

Walkthrough

The Docker image now provides /usr/bin/more when /bin/more exists and installs a MariaDB wrapper at /usr/local/bin/mariadb. The wrapper forwards leading option-file flags and remaining arguments to /usr/bin/mariadb, adding --skip-ssl-verify-server-cert.

Changes: Docker worker tools

Layer / File(s)	Summary
MariaDB wrapper behavior utils/docker/mariadb	The wrapper collects leading option-file flags until the first other argument. It invokes /usr/bin/mariadb with those flags, --skip-ssl-verify-server-cert, and the remaining arguments.
Docker image integration utils/docker/Dockerfile	The image copies the wrapper to /usr/local/bin/mariadb. If /usr/bin/more is absent and /bin/more exists, the image creates a symlink at /usr/bin/more.

Preserve option-file arguments.

A path such as --defaults-file="/tmp/client settings.cnf" is split into two arguments when $defaults expands. MariaDB then reads the wrong path and the connection fails. Preserve each leading option as a separate quoted argument.
