The effect is particularly noticeable on the Lorem ipsum page where non latin characters just arent rendering at all being replaced … Read more
I am currently doing TDD with WordPress, in the PHPUnit I need to test if the meta box is actually registered on a method call, I could not find any function in WordPress to do that, so I was trying to verify it by calling global $wp_meta_boxes, but it returns null when invoked inside a … Read more
Sorry I feel like really stuck here. I have a plugin introducing a new Rest API controller (WP_REST_Controller) with basically a single endpoint which uses a separate class as a client to fetch some data. Let’s say: #my_plugin.php function register_items_routes() { if ( ! class_exists( ‘WP_REST_My_Controller’ ) ) { require_once __DIR__ . ‘/class-wp-my-controller.php’; } if … Read more
I’m writing up unit tests for my plugin and I need a logged in user to test, but I can’t find the admin password anywhere. Does anybody know what the default admin password is? I’m extending the WP_UnitTestCase and taking the tests from https://unit-tests.svn.wordpress.org/trunk. My code at the moment: <?php require_once(‘myPlugin.php’); class MyPluginTest extends WP_UnitTestCase{ … Read more
I have created a wordpress plugin which converts shortcodes to content based on the entry saved on the dataase: global $wpdb; $post_id = get_the_ID(); $post_content = get_the_content(); $pattern = ‘/\[zam_tweets page=([0-9])\]/’; preg_match($pattern, $post_content, $matches); if(!empty($matches)){ $tweets_table = $wpdb->prefix . ‘zam_tweets’; $result = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT tweet FROM $tweets_table WHERE post_id = ‘$post_id'”); $content = $result; } return … Read more
I’ve been working very hard to get PHPUnit to play nice with WordPress (with the help of this, this, this, this, and this), and I think I’ve gotten pretty close. The code I run directly before my tests looks like this (basically lifted verbatim from this article): ( PHP_SAPI === ‘cli’ ) || die( ‘Access … Read more
I have written a plugin, and am going through the process of setting up some unit tests for it. Inside of my unit tests I am utilizing the WP_UnitTest_Factory class to help with the process of creating posts, users etc. $this->factory->post->create( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘announcement’ ) ); I am finding that when I run my … Read more
I’m trying to run PHPUnit to unittest a WordPress plugin, but the error below keeps showing up. Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /private/tmp/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1452 I used WP-CLI to setup the unittests, but also WP-CLI throws a similar error when I try to run it. I use MAMP to run … Read more
For writing unit-tests, why do most plugins use WP_UnitTestCase instead of popular libraries like WP_Mock? The reason I am asking this is because WP_UnitTestCase doesn’t seem to be a unit test case but integration test as it requires WordPress-test environment & make actual DB-calls to WordPress-test-db? While WP_Mock mocks all WP functions and you can … Read more
I’m trying to mock get_adjacent_post for unit testing but I’m not sure how to mock global function in PHPUnit $badCode = $this->getMockBuilder(‘get_adjacent_post’) ->setMethods(array(‘somthing’)) ->getMock(); Here’s what I got so far which obviously doesn’t work. And here’s how I use it in production code. $prev_post = get_adjacent_post( true, ”, true, ‘topic’ ); 2 Answers 2 I … Read more
