Unit Tests

This plugin has unit tests, but you will need to have PHP Test Helpers installed. You also need to make sure you are set up to run WordPress tests locally.

To run tests locally, first, set up the WP testing framework: http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/automated-testing/#installation

Then, add some environment variables to your .bashrc file:

export WP_TESTS_DIR=~/wordpress-tests
export WP_CORE_DIR=~/path/to/wordpress-core

Finally, run the tests:

cd /path/to/child-themify/tests
phpunit

If you want to run the tests in Multisite, set the environment variable for it:

export WP_MULTISITE=1

I have a few shortcut aliases set up in my .bashrc file which you may want to use:

alias testsingle="export WP_MULTISITE=0; phpunit"
alias testmultisite="export WP_MULTISITE=1; phpunit"
alias testall="export WP_MULTISITE=0; phpunit; export WP_MULTISITE=1; phpunit"
