ini file with auto_prepend_file doesn't work with router.php

[DanielRuf]

Bug Report

It seems loading a config file with auto_prepend_file does not work with the router.php file.
If I use the internal PHP server without this, it works.

https://github.com/wp-cli/server-command/blob/master/src/Server_Command.php#L90

This works without any problems:

php -c .../.user.ini -S localhost:8080 -t .

Describe the current, buggy behavior

php wp-cli.phar server --config=.user.ini

Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug

• create a .user.ini file with a auto_prepend_file setting
• run php wp-cli.phar server --config=.user.ini
• open the browser
• check if the file is actually executed (add an echo to it)

Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome

The ini file should be loaded and the auto_prepend_file setting should work.

Thanks for the report, @DanielRuf !

Were you ever able to track down the root cause or identify a workaround?

[DanielRuf]

It's because router.php does not look for or load any ini files.

Keep in mind that .user.ini is expected to be in specific folders and PHP has to be configured to look there.

I guess there is no other solution for the PHP CLI - the c parameter is probably the right solution for testing.
