Testing SiteOrigin plugins

There are a few automated PHPUnit tests and Selenium UI tests included with the plugins. Below we will lay out the steps necessary to run the tests.

PHPUnit tests

We recommend the use of a pre-configured virtualized environment, like Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV), as it provides a consistent environment for developing, testing, troubleshooting and debugging your code. VVV includes WP-CLI and PHPUnit which make unit testing that much easier.

If you're using VVV you can skip step 1.

  1. Install WP-CLI and PHPUnit
  2. Initialize the unit tests using WP-CLI
  • In a terminal, navigate to the root of the WordPress instance and run wp scaffold plugin-tests plugin-name replacing plugin-name with the name of the plugin. So, for the Widgets Bundle you would run wp scaffold plugin-tests so-widgets-bundle.
  1. Navigate to the root of the plugin directory. cd wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle and run bash bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test db_user db_password localhost latest, replacing db_user and db_pass with your database user's username and password and localhost with your database hostname.
  2. That's it! Now you can run phpunit and you should see the output of the unit tests.

Selenium UI tests

  1. Download and install Node.js and npm.
  2. In a terminal, navigate to the root of the plugin directory and run npm install
  3. Get some coffee while npm installs the required packages.
  4. That's it! Now you can run npm test ./selenium-tests and you should see a Chrome browser window open and the Selenium UI tests run.
