Ongoing development will be done in the `develop` with merges done into `master`
once considered stable.
### Unit Testing
TL;DR
Make sure you have `phpunit` installed and available in your `PATH`.
~~~text
$ mkdir phpcs
$ cd phpcs
$ git clone git@github.com:squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer.git .
$ git checkout 1.4.4
$ git clone git@github.com:x-team/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress
$ phpunit --filter WordPress tests/AllTests.php
~~~
Expected output:
~~~text
PHPUnit 3.7.18 by Sebastian Bergmann.
...............
Time: 1 second, Memory: 37.00Mb
OK (15 tests, 0 assertions)
~~~
You can ignore any skipped tests as these are for `PHP_CodeSniffer` external tools.
The reason why we need to checkout from `PHP_CodeSniffer` git repo to run the tests is because
PEAR installation is intended for ready-to-use not for development. At some point `WordPress-Coding-Standards`
might be submitted to `PHP_CodeSniffer` repo and using their existing convention for unit tests
will eventually help them to test the code before merging in.
#### Unit Testing conventions
If you see inside the `WordPress/Tests`, the structure mimics the `WordPress/Sniffs`. For example,
the `WordPress/Sniffs/Arrays/ArrayDeclarationSniff.php` sniff has unit test class defined in
`WordPress/Tests/Arrays/ArrayDeclarationUnitTest.php` that check `WordPress/Tests/Arrays/ArrayDeclarationUnitTest.inc`
file. See the file naming convention? Lets take a look what inside `ArrayDeclarationUnitTest.php`:
~~~php
...
class WordPress_Tests_Arrays_ArrayDeclarationUnitTest extends AbstractSniffUnitTest
{
public function getErrorList()
{
return array(
3 => 1,
7 => 1,
9 => 1,
16 => 1,
31 => 2,
);
}//end getErrorList()
}
...
~~~
Also note the class name convention. The method `getErrorList` MUST return an array of line numbers
indicating errors (when running `phpcs`) found in `WordPress/Tests/Arrays/ArrayDeclarationUnitTest.inc`.
If you run:
~~~text
$ cd /path-to-cloned/phpcs
$ ./scripts/phpcs --standard=Wordpress -s CodeSniffer/Standards/WordPress/Tests/Arrays/ArrayDeclarationUnitTest.inc
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll see the line number and number of ERRORs we need to return in `getErrorList` method.
In line #31 there are two ERRORs belong to `WordPress.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing` sniff and
it MUST not included in `ArrayDeclarationUnitTest` (that's why we only return 2 errros for line #31).
Also there's `getWarningList` method in unit test class that returns an array of line numbers
indicating WARNINGs.
