Boone Gorges 348c8958da Use the comment API rather than direct SQL queries in comments_template().
`comments_template()` is used by most themes to display a post's comments. It
shows all comments that have been approved, and also shows all pending comments
by the current visitor (as determined by the comment cookies). However, the
comments API previously had no way of querying for "all comments that are
either approved, or are unapproved but written by foo@example.com". The
workaround was a direct SQL query: uncached, not subject to the same filters as
other comment queries, and just generally icky.

The new `include_unapproved` parameter for `WP_Comment_Query` accepts an array
of user IDs or email addresses. Pending comments associated with users in this
array will be included in query results, regardless of the value of the 'status'
parameter. In `comments_template()`, we leap from direct SQL queries to
`get_comments()` plus `include_unapproved', striving to put right what once
went wrong.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
