Posted on by Jules
  1. Get local by flywheel
  2. Add a new local site
    • Custom install
    • PHP 7.3
    • nginx
    • Mysql 5.6
    • WP user: admin
    • WP password: admin
  3. Go to WP admin
  4. Install and activate the plugin you would like to test
  5. SSH into the site and run these commands:
    • apt-get update
    • apt-get install curl
    • apt-get install subversion
    • wget -O phpunit https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-7.phar
    • chmod +x phpunit
    • mv phpunit /usr/local/bin/phpunit
    • *** curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

    • cd wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-conditional-fields-pro/

  6. Edit the file tests/bootsrap.php at line 25 
    • function _manually_load_plugin() {
  require dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/contact-form-7-conditional-fields.php';
}

       

  7. Edit the file phpunit.xml.dist:

		</testsuite>
	</testsuites>
</phpunit>
