History

Boone Gorges d63ceb08a3 Share fixtures across 'canonical' automated tests. Sharing these fixtures results in a speed improvement of almost one minute per run of the test suite. My hope is that future WordPress developers will spend this extra minute with their loved ones, for life on this earth is short, my friends, and the moments you spend watching WP generate test data can never again be reclaimed from the grizzled clutches of Time, and none of us are really getting younger, I mean, geez, have you looked in the mirror lately, Gandalf? See #30017. git-svn-id: https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk@30277 602fd350-edb4-49c9-b593-d223f7449a82		2014-11-08 19:28:12 +00:00

README.txt

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.
