Updating WordPress Core

[taeo920]

When using this workflow what is the intended method for updating WordPress core?

I was expecting it to be pulled in via Composer which would allow us to specify a version in code but it appears that it only installed once during the "build-env" step via WPCLI.

@greg-1-anderson Any updates on this? Is updating Wordpress core supported?

We're running into this exact issue at the moment where we update Wordpress core via composer update and the expected change to pantheon-systems/wordpress-composer is reflected in composer.lock but the resulting multi-dev is still stuck on the older version of Wordpress core.

Hi,

I'm fixing this for Github Actions in this PR: #720

If that's your CI, please update accordingly and confirm it now works as expected. If you're using a different CI (e.g. CircleCI), please let me know what system are you using and I'll take a look.

Thanks!
