GravityView is a commercial plugin available from https://www.gravitykit.com. The plugin is hosted here on a public GitHub repository to better facilitate community contributions from developers and users. If you have a suggestion, a bug report, or a patch for an issue, feel free to submit it here.

If you are using the plugin on a live site, please purchase a valid license from the website. We cannot provide support to anyone that does not hold a valid license key.

Installation Instructions

To install the plugin, download the latest release to your WordPress plugins folder and then activate it.

For Developers

If you wish to make changes to the plugin, you need to install the necessary dependencies and compile assets. First, a couple of prerequisites:

1. Make sure that you have the full plugin source code by either cloning this repo or downloading the source code (not the versioned release) from the Releases section.

2. Install Composer

3. Install Node.js

   • We recommend a Node.js version manager for Linux/macOS or Windows
   • Run npm install -g grunt-cli if this the first time you've installed Node.js or switched to a new version

Next, install dependencies:

1. Run composer public-install to install Composer dependencies, including development dependencies, or composer public-install-no-dev if you don't need the development dependencies

   • If you have access to private GravityKit repositories, you can run composer install or composer install --no-dev instead

2. Run npm install to install Node.js dependencies

To compile/minify UI assets, run grunt or use the following commands separately:

1. grunt sass & grunt postcss to compile and minify CSS files

2. grunt uglify to minify JavaScript files

3. grunt imagemin to minify images

You do not have to run the commands if submitting a pull request as the minification process is handled by our CI/CD pipeline.

Unit Tests

We offer preconfigured Docker containers and a custom Bash script to facilitate running unit tests using multiple PHP versions in a predictable environment. Visit our Tooling repo for information regarding how to configure and run tests.

If you wish to run tests using your local environment, use the following instructions:

1. Clone the WordPress Develop and Gravity Forms repositories

2. In the cloned repository folder, copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, and edit wp-tests-config.php to define the following constants:

   define('DB_NAME', getenv('DB_NAME'));
   define('DB_USER', getenv('DB_USER'));
   define('DB_PASSWORD', getenv('DB_PASSWORD'));
   define('DB_HOST', getenv('DB_HOST'));

3. Run PHPUnit using the following command (ensure to replace placeholders with your actual system values):

   DB_NAME=db_name \
   DB_USER=db_user \
   DB_PASSWORD=db_password \
   DB_HOST=db_host \
   GF_PLUGIN_DIR=/path/to/gravityforms \
   WP_TESTS_DIR=/path/to/wordpress-develop/tests/phpunit \
   vendor/bin/phpunit --no-coverage

   Alternatively, you can copy phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml, and edit phpunit.xml to set the environment variables there:

   <php>
       <const name="DOING_GRAVITYVIEW_TESTS" value="1" />
       <env name="DB_NAME" value="db_name"/>
       <env name="DB_USER" value="db_user"/>
       <env name="DB_PASSWORD" value="db_password"/>
       <env name="DB_HOST" value="db_host"/>
       <env name="GF_PLUGIN_DIR" value="/path/to/gravityforms"/>
       <env name="WP_TESTS_DIR" value="/path/to/wordpress-develop/tests/phpunit"/>
   </php>
