Development

Setup using DDEV (recommended)

You can install WooCommerce PayPal Payments locally using the dev environment of your preference, or you can use the DDEV setup provided in this repository. Which includes WordPress, WooCommerce and all development tools.

To set up the DDEV environment, follow these steps:

0. Install Docker and DDEV.
1. Edit the configuration in the .ddev/config.local.yml file if needed.
2. Run $ ddev start && ddev orchestrate to setup and orchestrate the plugin, WooCommerce and WordPress (you can also use $ npm run ddev:setup)
3. Open https://woocommerce-paypal-payments.ddev.site

Use $ ddev reset for reinstallation (will destroy all site data). You may also need $ ddev restart to apply the config changes.

Running tests and other tasks in the DDEV environment

Tests and code style:

• $ ddev npm run test
• $ ddev npm run lint
• $ ddev npm run fix-lint
• $ ddev npm run lint-js
• $ npm run ddev:unit-tests:coverage

See package.json for other useful commands.

For debugging, see the DDEV docs. Enable xdebug via $ ddev xdebug enable, and press Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections in PHPStorm. After creating the server in the PHPStorm dialog, you need to set the local project path for the server plugin path. Check this article for a detailed guide.

Setup in other environments

Install dependencies & build

• $ composer install
• $ npm ci

Optionally, change the PAYPAL_INTEGRATION_DATE constant to gmdate( 'Y-m-d' ) to run the latest PayPal JavaScript SDK

Unit tests and code style

1. $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
2. $ ./vendor/bin/phpcs
3. $ ./vendor/bin/psalm
4. $ npm run lint-js
5. $ npm run test:unit-js - Ensure node version is 18 or above

Unit tests with Coverage

Run npm run ddev:unit-tests:coverage

This command generates a full test coverage report, available at the URL https://woocommerce-paypal-payments.ddev.site/coverage

Building a release package

If you want to build a release package, use the Build package (New) in GitHub Actions.

Currently, there is no script for building a proper release package locally, but you may try to run GHA locally via nektos/act.

Test account setup

You will need a PayPal sandbox merchant and customer accounts to configure the plugin and make test purchases with it.

For setting up test accounts follow these instructions.

Webhooks

For testing webhooks locally, follow these steps to set up ngrok:

0. Install ngrok.

• If using DDEV, run our wrapper Bash script which will start ddev share and replace the URLs in the WordPress database:

  $ .ddev/bin/share
  

• For other environments, run

  $ ngrok http -host-header=rewrite wc-pp.myhost
  

  and in your environment variables (accessible to the web server) add NGROK_HOST with the host that you got from ngrok, like abcd1234.ngrok.io. ngrok will be used only for the webhook listening URL. The URLs displayed on the WordPress pages, used in redirects, etc. will still remain local.

2. Complete onboarding or resubscribe webhooks on the Webhooks Status page.
