Fatal errors when running WP-CLI commands

Problem.

When running WP-CLI commands with the gutenverse-form plugin enabled, two fatal errors occurred:

1. Error 1: Class "Gutenverse\Framework\Style_Generator" not found
2. Error 2: Undefined constant "Gutenverse\Framework\GUTENVERSE_FRAMEWORK_URL_PATH"

Root Cause

The gutenverse-form plugin bundles its own copy of the Gutenverse Framework but was not properly initializing it before trying to use framework classes. The plugin’s main loader only registered the autoloader for Gutenverse_Form\ namespaced classes, leaving the Gutenverse\Framework\ classes inaccessible.

Solution

File 1: autoload.php

Added framework bootstrap initialization at the beginning of the autoloader:

<?php
// Load framework bootstrap to ensure framework classes are available
require_once dirname( FILE ) . '/framework/bootstrap.php';

File 2: bootstrap.php

Added the missing GUTENVERSE_FRAMEWORK_URL_PATH constant definition to the constants section:

<?php
defined( 'GUTENVERSE_FRAMEWORK_URL_PATH' ) || define( 'GUTENVERSE_FRAMEWORK_URL_PATH', plugins_url( 'gutenverse-form' ) . '/lib/framework' );

This constant was being used throughout the framework’s Asset class (and other classes) to build paths to CSS, JavaScript, and image assets.

Why This Works

1. By requiring the framework’s bootstrap file early, we ensure the framework’s autoloader is registered before any code tries to instantiate framework classes
2. By defining GUTENVERSE_FRAMEWORK_URL_PATH, all framework classes that reference this constant will have a valid value, allowing assets to be properly located and loaded

These changes ensure the framework is fully initialized and all necessary constants are available before the gutenverse-form plugin’s initialization classes try to use them.
