WordPress Tests Core
====================

[](#wordpress-tests-core)

WordPress Core PHPUnit Test Library made installable via Composer! Note the module will load the wp-config.php file and execute tests against the real database.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Example project's `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "johnpbloch/wordpress": "*"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "emeraldjava/wordpress-tests-core": "dev-master",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "*"
    },
    "extra": {
        "wordpress-install-dir": "./../../",
        "wordpress-tests-core-dir": "./tests"
    }
}

```

> Astrisk versions used for timelessness... You should use a version constraint appropriate for your needs.

#### Example project file structure

[](#example-project-file-structure)

```
├── composer.json
├── phpunit.xml
└──  tests
   ├── wp-tests-config.php [REQUIRED]
   └── core
       ├── bootstrap.php
       ├── ...

```

`tests/core` could be any directory, but it must be defined under the `extra` key as shown above.

#### `wp-tests-config.php`

[](#wp-tests-configphp)

This file is the equivalent of `wp-config.php` when running your PHPUnit tests. Due to the limitations imposed by the WordPress core bootstrap.php file, this file *must* be located as a sibling of the directory specified at `wordpress-tests-core-dir` as shown above.

Then you may simply bootstrap PHPUnit with the WordPress core bootstrap file directly.

#### Example `phpunit.xml` excerpt
