John Blackbourn f5bf5ba8b8 Build/Test Tools: Move the setExpectedException() method into the WP_Ajax_UnitTestCase class to avoid a fatal error when PHPUnit 3.6 is in use.
This needs more investigation but it gets the test suite on PHP 5.2 passing again.

See #39822

wp-mail-real-test.php Initialise $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] during the test bootstrap to avoid individual tests having to do it. 2015-10-21 23:51:45 +00:00

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.
