Do you already have the phpunit tests in there? Have you composer-installed phpunit?

Ebeldev commented 1 year ago

Hi @rfay ,

Yes, I have installed phpunit on my machine with homebrew. And I also installed it, locally in the plugin.

You need phpunit in your code's vendor directory. Install it with composer. Having it on your computer is not relevant. The code in the container cannot access anything on your computer.

Please use ddev ssh to start learning about this. When you can use phpunit in there, then you are ready to start.

rfay commented 1 year ago

phpunit when installed is usually in vendor/bin/phpunit, for example. see https://github.com/weitzman/ddev-selenium-standalone-chrome and its readme.

@mandrasch can you offer any help here? (@mandrasch is an expert with WP and DDEV)

@rfay I forgot to mentionned it, I also did try it in ssh in the container.

Here is the error when I then start my unit tests.

mac-dw-eti@rabaischocs-web:/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/rc-reports$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit Could not find /tmp/wordpress-tests-lib/includes/functions.php, have you run bin/install-wp-tests.sh ?

I did follow the setup instruction : https://pippinsplugins.com/unit-tests-wordpress-plugins-setting-up-testing-suite/. you set up wordpress with phpunit, with the wp cli it uses a bash script. After the script has been run. And then try to do any unit test I get the error mentionned.

From our understanding the error would be in the bash script. The script seems to not know it's in a container.

@rfay By the way, I really like working with ddev.

rfay commented 1 year ago

Have you run bin/install-wp-tests.sh?

It seems to install something in /tmp/wordpress-tests-lib, and /tmp is a volatile directory in ddev (it gets recreated on every start)

Ebeldev commented 1 year ago

Yes I did run bin/install-wp-tests.sh command.

rfay commented 1 year ago

You'll need to run it each time you restart, since /tmp/ goes away on restart.

You need to look in /tmp/wordpress-tests-lib and see what's there or not there.

Make sure everything you're doing right now is inside the container (ddev ssh)

Lots of other people have had this problem before you, https://www.google.com/search?q=Could+not+find+%2Ftmp%2Fwordpress-tests-lib%2Fincludes%2Ffunctions.php%2C+have+you+run+bin%2Finstall-wp-tests.sh&oq=Could+not+find+%2Ftmp%2Fwordpress-tests-lib%2Fincludes%2Ffunctions.php%2C+have+you+run+bin%2Finstall-wp-tests.sh&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512.239j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

No response after quite some time, I'll convert this to a discussion.
