Test Suite

The upstream test suite is available in the root repository:

svn co http://develop.svn.wordpress.org/branches/4.7/
# or
git clone https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop -b 4.7

Work-around Trac’s faulty IDS (403) in tests/phpunit/includes/trac.php:

public static function isTracTicketClosed( $trac_url, $ticket_id ) {
    stream_context_set_default(['http'=>['user_agent'=>'curl/7.52.1']]);

Configure the test database:

apt install ant phpunit mariadb-server
mysql
> CREATE DATABASE wptest;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wptest.* TO "wptest" IDENTIFIED BY 'wptest';
cd 4.7/
# edit wp-tests-config-sample.php -> wp-tests-config.php

phpunit

Stock result:

# Lots of failure related to db index size, tests reworked after 4.7
FAILURES!
Tests: 7909, Assertions: 33515, Failures: 22, Skipped: 97.

Documented but doesn’t seem useful:

apt install npm -t stretch-backports
apt install grunt
npm install
grunt build

Test Debian’s code:

(cd ../wordpress-4.7.18+dfsg/ && quilt push -a)
mv src src.bak
cp -a ../wordpress-4.7.18+dfsg src
rm -rf src/debian/
cp -a src.bak/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/ src/wp-content/themes/

phpunit
