What This Does

Sets up a foundational testing infrastructure for the Crowdsignal plugin following WordPress development standards.

What's Added

🧪 Testing Framework Setup

PHPUnit configuration for WordPress plugin testing
Base test case class with WordPress testing utilities
Organized test directory structure (unit, integration, fixtures)
WordPress test environment setup script

🔍 Code Quality Tools

WordPress Coding Standards (PHPCS) configuration
PHPStan static analysis setup for future use
Composer dependency management for PHP tools

🚀 CI/CD Foundation

GitHub Actions workflow for automated validation
Composer validation and dependency checks
PHP syntax validation across all files
Security vulnerability scanning

How It Works

# Install testing tools
composer install

# Run code standards check
composer phpcs

# Validate all configurations
composer validate

Why This Matters

This establishes the foundation for:

Consistent code quality across all contributions
Automated validation on every pull request
WordPress compliance for plugin standards
Professional development workflow

Files Added

composer.json - PHP dependency management and scripts
phpunit.xml - PHPUnit test configuration
phpcs.xml - WordPress coding standards rules
tests/ - Complete test framework structure

These test files use basic PHP patterns for demonstration and should not be subject to WordPress coding standards.

- Remove complex PHPUnit matrix testing for initial PR - Focus on core framework validation: composer, PHPCS, security - Add PHP syntax checking for all files - Streamline workflow for testing infrastructure setup

- Focus on validating configuration files and structure - Remove dependency on complex tool installation for initial validation - Add basic install test with fallback options - Ensure framework can be validated without external dependencies

There's too much here to fix in one go. Focus on adding one tooling at a time, and move other tool additions to separate PRs.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T12:35:47Z

Shouldn't need this second install file.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T12:36:20Z

We don't need this now.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T12:36:33Z

We don't this now.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T12:37:17Z

We don't need this now.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T12:38:30Z

Test class files should be named as PSR-4.

This section is not needed in this plugin-specific doc.

GaryJones · 2025-09-23T13:13:32Z

+- Check database interactions
+- Test multisite compatibility

+## Debugging Tests


Don't need this reproduction of the PHPUnit documentation either.
