Motivation for the change, related issues
We're currently experiencing an scp error when attempting to transfer
mime-types.json
as a single file to a the destination'~/website-deployment/'
.https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/actions/runs/13481525026/job/37667340559#step:7:16325
It seems like the home dir resolution is failing altogether or inconsistent between scp and regular ssh login. This was working before. There may have been a change in the hosting environment that inadvertently affected this script.
The previous step copies a directory to the same destination, and that is working fine.
Implementation details
As a workaround, this PR just copies
mime-types.json
into the local directory that is successfully copied to the server. This way, the file is transferred to the same location, and we avoid this single-file weirdness with scp.Testing Instructions (or ideally a Blueprint)
