wordpress-plugin-tests-template

Wordpress plugin development is easy, but when it come to testing things can get complicated pretty fast. Wordpress CLI can generate all that is required to write integration tests for your plugin, with live Wordpress environment. But to run those tests you need to have PHP and MySql on your machine, which is not always the case. This sound like really good used case for docker and docker-compose - we can create the relevant images and run them easily on any machine that has Docker. This also mean that the same version of PHP and MySql that run on your machine, also run on the CI, and you can easily target various PHP/Wordpress versions.
