Needed to run valet link after creating site

[jjeaton]

I'm not using valet park for all sites in a directory, so possibly that's the issue here.

After running wp valet new <sitename> I needed to cd into the <sitename> directory and run valet link <sitename> before it works.

Is this expected?

Yes, the command currently assumes you're using it in a "parked" directory.

I've thought about adding the option to, or just linking it by default though. I always use it in a parked directory so I'm leaning towards the option.

Yeah a `--link` option might be nice.

Hm, if you're using it in parked mode, then that could create inconsistent sites.

$ mkdir wpvalettest
$ cd wpvalettest
$ wp valet new wpvaletfoo

Valet parked will assume the site is in https://wpvalettest.tld, yet we just set it to be https://wpvaletfoo.tld.

If we were to implement the --link flag, it would be optional. By default, the command has always assumed you're using a parked directory or linking it yourself, this would just be a little quicker for those who are doing an install in a non-parked directory.

Of course the command would also link the proper directory, that's not a problem 😄

Any news on a --link flag?
