wp import <file> --authors=<new file>.csv should write a mapping file with suggested users and stop. It fails with a DivisionByZeroError instead.

Since #94 the $blog_users property has an empty array as default value. suggest_user() loads the site users only when ! isset( $this->blog_users ), so the users were never loaded and the average check at the end divided by zero.

This PR:

• declares $blog_users without a default value, so the users are loaded on first use again
• skips the average check when no distances were collected. This also happens when the first site user is an exact login match, because the loop breaks before it adds anything to $shortestavg.
• adds a Behat scenario that creates the mapping file and then imports with it

Fixes #111

Testing Instructions

Environment

• OS: Linux (Docker container on WSL2, kernel 6.18.33.2)
• Web Server: n/a (command line test)
• PHP: 8.5.9
• WordPress: 7.2-beta1-64691 (nightly)
• Database: MariaDB 11.8.9
• WP-CLI: wp-cli/wp-cli main (a1735b03), import-command main (60399a0) with this PR
• Browser: n/a (command line test)
• Theme: Ipsum 1.0 (default theme of the nightly)
• Active Plugins:
  • WordPress Importer 0.9.7

Steps to Reproduce

1. wp plugin install wordpress-importer --activate
2. wp export --filename_format=export.xml
3. wp import export.xml --authors=mapping.csv (the file must not exist yet)
4. 🐞 Bug occurs: Fatal error: Uncaught DivisionByZeroError: Division by zero in .../src/Import_Command.php:732, exit code 1, and mapping.csv is left empty. Running the command again then imports without any mapping.

Expected Results

• ✅ The command stops with Error: Please update author mapping file before continuing: mapping.csv and exit code 1.
• ✅ mapping.csv contains the header row and one row per author, for example admin,admin.
• ✅ Running the same wp import command again imports the posts with that mapping.

With this PR on the same site (run from the import-command checkout):

$ vendor/bin/wp --path=/tmp/lab import /tmp/lab/export.xml --authors=/tmp/lab/mapping.csv
Starting the import process...
Error: Please update author mapping file before continuing: /tmp/lab/mapping.csv
$ echo $?
1
$ cat /tmp/lab/mapping.csv
old_user_login,new_user_login
admin,admin
$ vendor/bin/wp --path=/tmp/lab import /tmp/lab/export.xml --authors=/tmp/lab/mapping.csv | tail -n 1
Success: Finished importing from '/tmp/lab/export.xml' file.

Test results

The new scenario exports posts by admin and jdoe, changes both email addresses so the users have to be matched by login, and runs wp import --authors=mapping.csv twice. Behat ran with WP_VERSION=nightly, PHP 8.5.9 and MariaDB 11.8.9.

Before, on main:

$ vendor/bin/behat --format progress features/import.feature:587
.............F--------

--- Failed steps:

001 Scenario: Create an author mapping file and import with it # features/import.feature:587
      Then STDERR should be:                                   # features/import.feature:603
        $ wp import /tmp/wp-cli-test-run--6adc152fd09999.64191114/authors.000.xml --authors=mapping.csv
        Starting the import process...

        Error: There has been a critical error on this website.

        ...

1 scenario (1 failed)
22 steps (13 passed, 1 failed, 8 skipped)

After, with this PR:

$ vendor/bin/behat --format progress features/import.feature:587
......................

1 scenario (1 passed)
22 steps (22 passed)

Both changes are needed. With only the property change, the scenario still fails with DivisionByZeroError (the first site user, admin, is an exact login match). With only the average check, mapping.csv contains admin, and jdoe, without suggestions.

Full features/import.feature with this PR: 16 scenarios (16 passed), 265 steps (265 passed).

composer phpcs -- src/Import_Command.php and composer phpstan report no errors. The Gherkin linter (gherkin-lint-plus 1.0.2 with the wp-cli-tests config) passes on features/import.feature.

AI assistance: Yes. I used an AI assistant to help investigate and draft this; I ran and checked every test and result myself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Imports now provide an author-mapping file when imported authors don’t match current site users, making it easier to assign posts to the correct accounts.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved author matching when there are no similarity results, preventing errors during import.

Walkthrough

The import command now initializes its site-user cache lazily and skips average-distance comparison when no candidate distances exist. An integration scenario covers generating an author mapping CSV, retrying the import with the mapping, and checking the imported post list.

Changes: Author mapping import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Author suggestions and mapping workflow src/Import_Command.php, features/import.feature	The site-user cache starts unset, and the average-distance comparison runs only when candidate distances exist. The scenario checks mapping-file creation, import retry, and the imported post list.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: swissspidy, jrfnl

Merge Risk: Low · up to 7d505

The mapping workflow appears mergeable, but asserting the admin post’s author would better protect the new regression test.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: fixing a DivisionByZeroError that stopped the author mapping file from being created during import. The changeset matches this. It guards the average-distance calculation in Import_Command.php when $shortestavg is empty, and it changes $blog_users to load site users on first use. The title is concise, specific, and free of file lists or vague wording.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #111 requires a generated author mapping file, a suggestion for each author, a stop before import, and a successful import after the mapping file is supplied. The PR leaves $blog_users unset until suggest_user() loads site users. It skips the average-distance calculation when $shortestavg is empty. The added Behat scenario verifies the header, admin,admin, and jdoe,jdoe rows, the stop, and the subsequent successful import.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the two fixes required by #111 and an integration scenario that verifies the required behavior. The test changes directly support the issue objective. No unrelated production behavior or unrelated files are identified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 1 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Assert the imported admin post assignment.

The fixture maps both admin and jdoe, but the retry checks only the jdoe post. A regression that ignores the admin mapping can therefore pass. Add an assertion for user 1.
