Woocommerce – WP-Cli wc product create Custom attributes

Good day,

I’m using the wp-cli for adding products to WordPress, for example i use this one:

wp --allow-root wc product create --user=1 --name="Restricted" --regular_price=1

I do have some attributes called test_1 (checkbox for yes) and test_2 is a multiselect. But is there a way to fill that attributes?

I did try this:

wp wc product create --user=1 --name="Restricted" --regular_price=1 --test_1=yes --test_2=testvalue,testvalue2

But that did result in an error:

Error: Parameter errors:
 unknown --test_1 parameter
 unknown --test_2 parameter

And did this one, but the values were still empty:

 wp wc product create --user=1 --name="Restricted" --regular_price=1 --attributes='[{"test_1": "yes", "test_2": ["testvalue","testvalue2"]}]'

And this one:

wp wc product create --user=1 --name="Restricted" --regular_price=1 --attributes='[{"test_1": 1, "test_2": ["testvalue","testvalue2"]]'

    You need to specify attributes as JSON. Since you have 2 attributes, the proper command along with JSON Structure is.

    wp wc product create --name='Product Name'  --user=1 
    --attributes='[ 
        { "name": "test_1", "visible": true, "options" : ["yes", "no"] }, 
        { "name": "test_2", "visible": true, "options" : ["small", "medium"] } 
    ]'

    Check the 2nd FAQ here

    It says that certain properties needs to be passed as JSON.

    Some ‘lists’ are objects, for example, if you want to set categories for a product the REST API expects an array of objects: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#product-properties

    https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#product-properties

    if you add product Custom attributes or category through CLI than use  JSON format like this

 --attributes= [{ "name": "color", "visible": true, "options":["black","blue"]}]
 --categories= [ { "id" : category_id } ]

Example demo:-

wp wc product create --name="mobile11" --description="this is mobile 11" --type=simple --regular_price=500 --sale_price=400 --user=dharmesh --categories='[ { "id" : 35 } ]' --attributes='[{ "name": "color", "visible": true, "options":["black","blue","red"]}]' --allow-root

    Most of the time terminal isn’t formatted properly sometimes it skips , sometime not formatting bash variable causes empty values. It depends how you’re using declaring bash variable and using within woocommerce cli.

    I was looking way correct format for adding / updating product attributes. This is how I was able to add product attributes for my product.

    wp wc product update 2898  --user=1  --attributes='[{ "name":"Background Style","options":"White"},{ "name":"Demographic Level","options":"college-university"}]'

    Where,

    product_id is 2898
    attributes are "Background Style" and "Demographic Level" and options are its corresponding terms.
