FAQPage Schema

How do I set up WordPress plugin integration testing with wp-env and PHPUnit?▼

WordPress plugin integration testing is configured using Docker-based wp-env alongside PHPUnit 9. You scaffold the project structure and WP_UnitTestCase configuration to execute deterministic tests validating plugin behavior across environments.

What is the best way to test WordPress hooks and REST endpoints in a plugin?▼

The best way to test WordPress hooks and REST endpoints is using WP_UnitTestCase within a wp-env Docker environment. This integration testing approach ensures deterministic validation of plugin behavior across local and containerized setups.

Do I need Docker to run WP_UnitTestCase for plugin integration tests?▼

Yes, Docker is required to run wp-env, which provides the containerized WordPress environment. This setup ensures WP_UnitTestCase executes integration tests with deterministic and reproducible results across different local environments.

Can I use this integration testing setup for WordPress CI workflows?▼

Yes, the setup includes CI workflow references and project structure guidance. These templates integrate wp-env and PHPUnit 9 into continuous integration pipelines to ensure deterministic, reproducible WordPress plugin tests.

Why are my WordPress plugin integration tests not reproducible across environments?▼

Plugin integration tests lack reproducibility when environments differ. Using Docker-based wp-env with a standardized project structure and WP_UnitTestCase ensures a consistent WordPress instance, yielding deterministic test results.
