WP-CoreTestLib

This library allows for easy testing of WordPress plugins, themes widgets, libraries. You name it.

Setup

You need to have access to a database server to make use of this library.

Clone this repo into your tests directory

$ cd my-project/
$ cd tests/
$ git clone https://github.com/mekom/WP-CoreTestLib

Copy the config sample into the root of your tests directory.

note: Your config file should be besides the WP-CoreTestLib directory, and not inside it.

my-project/
    tests/
        WP-CoreTestLib/
            wp-test-config-sample.php
        wp-test-config.php

$ cd my-project/tests/
$ cp WP-CoreTestLib/wp-test-config-sample.php wp-test-config.php

Supply the correct settings for database access to the my-project/tests/wp-test-config.php file. (Remember: Using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost might be preferable)

Include the WP-CoreTestLib/bootstrap.php file from your PHPUnit bootstrap file.

my-project/tests/bootstrap.php

require __DIR__ . "/WP-CoreTestLib/bootstrap.php";

Great! That should be it. You now be able to test WordPress things, and have access to some special wordpress testing functions. You can google the "wordpress testing library" to find out which these are.

But I'll list some of them for you
