Replace WP_UnitTestCase by BW_UnitTestCase #16

Closed bobbingwide closed 4 years ago

bobbingwide commented 7 years ago

In WordPress 4.7 the PHPUnit testing suite has been changed such that tests that extend WP_UnitTestCase will basically empty the database. This is incompatible with In situ testing which expects the database to be already populated. The BW_UnitTestCase class is a replacement for WP_UnitTestCase. Any plugin that performs in situ testing should be changed to extend BW_UnitTestCase.

Note: This is belt and braces. For 4.7, load_bootstrap_functions (in tests\bootstrap.php) has been changed so that we load our own version of WP_UnitTestCase (from tests\testcase.php). This version differs in that it performs ROLLBACK instead of COMMIT.

This Issue should be referred to by other plugins making changes to their PHPUnit test cases for 4.7.

Note: Making this change may prevent the PHPUnit tests working in WordPress 4.6.

I think we can safely close this now.
