Lab: Unit Testing with Brain Monkey
Video Runtime: 20:42
Before we can start adding Brain Monkey functionality to our tests, we need a test class. Let’s create that together in this episode.
Here are the pro tips that I share in this episode:
- Load all of the needed source files in the
setUp()
method after theparent::setUp()
. Why? Before we can redefine a function, Patchwork needs to load first and then the original source code. - Load only the source files from the package (plugin or theme) that you are testing. Do not load WordPress core or other third party files. Why? You only load the original source code when you will run the original function in your test suite. I explain it further in the video.
Code. Eat. Code. Sleep. Dream about Code. Code.
