Automated Acceptance Testing Example Using Codeception

This is an example of how to perform automated acceptance testing of a WordPress plugin using Codeception.

It is a companion to the Delicious Brains post on the same topic.

Requirements

1. Composer
2. Java (JDK)
3. PHP 5.5+
4. AWS account

Install

1. Clone the repository and cd into it.
2. Make sure the permissions are correct on the tests/tmp directory using chmod -R 755 tests/tmp
3. Run composer install
4. Copy the codeception.dist.yml file to codeception.yml
5. Enter your AWS key, secret and bucket name in the S3Filesystem module config in codeception.yml
6. Configure your local database credentials in the WPDb module config in codeception.yml
7. Add a virtual host for wpos3-acceptance.test pointing to /tests/tmp/wp in the cloned repo

Running the Tests

sh run-tests.sh

Optionally pass -s to start from scratch, which removes the WordPress site and re-installs. You don't need this flag the first time.
