Use WP archive path when in offline mode?

[pronskiy]

Hey folks,

I’m running wp-now on my project in THEME mode, and it works great locally. But when I try to deploy it to production, it breaks because there’s no global internet access there, so the WP download step fails.

Is there any way to point wp-now to a local ZIP file of a specific WordPress version instead?

Interesting use-case! There isn't a way to do that today, unfortunately. It would be useful, though, to support a local path for this CLI option:

(note I'm referring to @wp-playground/cli, which is the preferred core tool, not wp-now)
