After configuring automatic updates following https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates using wp-cli gives the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/wp-cli.php(23) : eval()'d code on line 50 The same happens for apply_filters() function

My configuration is working properly with respect to wordpress itself, and yes, I've put the configuration after this line:
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php' );

Has wp-cli problems with the previous line? Have I misconfigured anything?

This is my custom config of wp-config.php

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
        define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
define( 'FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true );
define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true );
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', true );
add_filter( 'allow_major_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'automatic_updates_is_vcs_checkout', '__return_false', 1 );
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );
apply_filters( 'auto_core_update_send_email', false, success, $core_update, $result );

Edit: the error occurs with most commands such as wp plugin list but not with others e.g. wp --version. The version I'm using is WP-CLI 0.16.0
