Wordpress Test Library

This is a library that provides a ready to use instance of PHPUNIT for unit testing in a wordpress environment. It uses Yoast/PHPUnit-Polyfills which allows it to run on any PHP version.

Requirements

• Working install of Wordpress.
• An empty database for testing.
• PHPUNIT must be installed on your system.
• Composer must be installed on your system.

Getting Started

• Copy wp-test-lib to wherever you'd like.
• Open wp-test-lib in a terminal and run composer update. This will install all of the dependencies.
• Copy /tests to wherever you'd like your unit tests to reside.
• Modify /tests/wp-tests-config.php to setup your test DB credentials. Keep in mind, this should be an empty database. Any data in this database will be destroyed every time the tests conclude. Do not use a production database.
• Modify /tests/boot.php and setup any global options. You will also need to modify this file to point to the wp-test-lib/bootstrap.php file in whatever location you put it.
• Modify /tests/phpunit.xml to add your test suites.
• Look at /tests/test-suite-1/test-1.php for an example on how to create unit tests

Running Tests

To run your tests, open your /tests/ directory in a command line and run phpunit
