Scaffold Plugin-Tests

wp scaffold plugin-tests

Generates files needed for running PHPUnit tests in a plugin.

The following files are generated by default:

  • phpunit.xml.dist is the configuration file for PHPUnit.
  • .circleci/config.yml is the configuration file for CircleCI. Use --ci=<provider> to select a different service.
  • bin/install-wp-tests.sh configures the WordPress test suite and a test database.
  • tests/bootstrap.php is the file that makes the current plugin active when running the test suite.
  • tests/test-sample.php is a sample file containing the actual tests.
  • .phpcs.xml.dist is a collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules.

Learn more from the plugin unit tests documentation.
