WPCLI search and replace in a particlar site dir effect another site-dir

Question

In /var/www/html I have a site dir. I've duplicated that site's dir and db into a new site dir and db by the name of "test" (without quote marks), and changed wp-config.php accordingly.

I Navigated into this new site dir in console (cd /var/www/html/test), and ran:

wp search-replace 'https://MY_ORIGIAL_DOMAIN' 'https://MY_IP/test'

The site itself goes up and its internal links become based on test, but 2 problems occur:

1. All css is jumbeled up.
2. The original site's CSS is also jumbeled up (this is quite wired, I must say).

While I can reverse the result, I admit I don't understand what's going on (because I do everything in the new dir and not in the original dir).

Update

I was wrong, the db wasn't changed to test in wp-config.php... It seems my sed operation failed:

sed -i 's/${domain}/test'/g /var/www/html/test/wp-config.php

Answer 1

The problem was due to some conflict between variable values (I don't recall the exact details).

The solution AFAIR, was to just use another Bash session, without any predefined variables (I just newly defined any variable I needed this time):

$ bash
