`Could not retrieve the checksums` still visible with `--skip-plugins=<plugin-name>`

[kanlukasz]

Hi,

I have premium external plugins. As we know, it is currently unable to check their checksums.

So there is a note:
Warning: Could not retrieve the checksums for version x.x.x. of plugin advanced-custom-fields-pro, skipping.

I would like to get rid of this message so I try to use:
wp plugin verify-checksums --all --skip-plugins=advanced-custom-fields-pro

After using this command, this warning still exists Could not retrieve the checks....

What i did wrong?

Thanks for opening this issue! There's indeed a slight misconception here.

--skip-plugins is what we call a global parameter which works with all commands. It tells WP-CLI to skip loading (executing) a certain plugin when interacting with WordPress.

So it's not related to the verify-checksums command specifically.

What you're after (checking all plugins except one), can not be achieved with a single argument like this.

However, you could do something like this instead:

1. Grab a list of all installed plugins
2. Filter the list to exclude advanced-custom-fields-pro
3. Run wp plugin verify-checksums <plugins>... for the remaining plugins in the list

We could potentially add an --exclude=<plugin> argument, similar to wp plugin update.

Hello there, I've submitted a PR, regarding the mentioned issue here #104. I would also suggest adding an argument for skipping specific files inside the plugins. This can cover a plugin config file or some sort of export file inside of the plugin directory. If you think that this will be a good feature, I can open a new issue and provide a PR.

Let's hold off on this for now.
