Wp-cli: --post_category="not working"

[killown]

I am trying to set a post category in post creation with the following
wp post create --post_type=post --post_title="asdf" --post_status=future --post_category="Teste" --post_content="asdf" --porcelain --allow-root --path=/var/www/html everything works fine except for --post_category.

Does wp-cli have this functionality to assign posts?

@killown Can you try using the ID of the category to assign it? That should work.
According to the documentation, using name or slug should work as well, but it didn't for me with some quick tests.

Yes for hierarchical taxonomies such as categories need to give ids due to this wp-includes/post.php#L4131 check casting the array to ints.

So need to update the docblock, and check and give warnings (errors?) if given non-int category ids., for both post create and post update.

Thanks for raising the issue @killown !

Edit: as an enhancement, we could look up and resolve the category names/slugs, which would be nice.

this worked after you tip: wp post term set 1000 category test --allow-root --path='/var/www/html' thanks a lot
