php-stubs / wordpress-tests-stubs Goto Github PK

The last test step is to execute stubs. php -f wordpress-tests-stubs.php
It fails. https://app.travis-ci.com/github/php-stubs/wordpress-tests-stubs./jobs/547182050

@stevegrunwell What PHPUnit versions do WordPress people use?
https://phpunit.de/supported-versions.html

PHP 7.4
PHP 7.3
PHP 7.2
PHP 7.1

Looks like some classes like WP_REST_Response are missing.

I'm not sure if this should be handled here or via a separate stub repo, but I'm wondering if it would make sense to create a stub for the WordPress core test suite codebase.

The main use-case here would be for developers writing code that extends the WP_UnitTestCase class — the WordPress instance itself will generally be installed to a tmp/ directory (or /srv/www/wordpress-develop in environments like VVV), putting it outside of the typical project scope. As a result, tools like Intelephense which, as best I can tell, uses this library for its WordPress stubs, flag a lot of standard PHPUnit code as error-filled because it doesn't know that WP_UnitTestCase extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase:

Granted this is a bit of a niche use-case, but in the interest of encouraging better testing practices in WordPress I think it's worth a discussion 😄.

@stevegrunwell Please be so kind and create a README.
Thanks!
