How to programmatically enable Pro trial in Craft 4?

Question

In Craft 3, I setup a base build for my team which had a bash script. At one point in the script I was able to enable a Craft Pro trial license like so:

echo 'Craft::$app->setEdition(Craft::Pro)' | php craft shell/index

However, this doesn't work in a version I am doing for Craft 4, and I can't find any changelog or notes about this being removed in Craft 4.

Anyone know if this is intended to happen now? (As in, Craft 4 is supposed to prevent the interactive shell from making changes to a site)

If it is supposed to happen, what could be another solution to get this working?

Answer 1

After a bit of noodling around, I figured out it's as simple as:

php craft project-config/set system.edition pro

Other project-config subcommands may be handy as well, such as:

php craft project-config/diff

to show any pending changes made to the on-disk configuration, and

php craft project-config/apply

to apply them.

Answer 2

You'll need to have the yiisoft/yii2-shell package installed to run craft shell.

From the Craft docs:

This command requires the yiisoft/yii2-shell package, which you may need to add to your project:
composer require --dev yiisoft/yii2-shell

Then this command should work:

echo 'Craft::$app->setEdition(Craft::Pro)' | php craft shell

Perhaps test with the interactive shell to see if it works and go from there?
