Why Can't PHPUnit UnitTest My Wordpress Website - wordpress

I have been researching this issue for days and although many people ask this question I never found a clear and concise answer.
I am running:
PHP Unit: Version 3.7.21
WordPress: Version 3.5.1
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
MySQL: Version 5.1.69-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
PHP: Version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.10
Long story short, I have the basic wordPress core downloaded into a directory on my computer. I have successfully downloaded and installed pear and phpunit. I tested phpunit by writing basic tests on simple php files which worked fine. My issue is when I run phpunit on a wordpress site (which I have not changed the core WP files of).
I get the error:
"PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function main() on a non-member
object in /< root_directory>/functions.php on line 779".
This error corresponds to this code-segment:
function wp( $query_vars = '' ) {
global $wp, $wp_query, $wp_the_query;
$wp->main( $query_vars ); // Line 779
if ( !isset($wp_the_query) )
$wp_the_query = $wp_query;
}
After some intense internet crawling I found many people had errors on this exact line so I know there is some general thing like an environment setting or our setup process that gave us all this error.
Some solutions I have read and tried that did not work for me:
Change the required file in your "index.php" file.
Place a require of "load.php" above the head in your "index.php" file.
Re-install WordPress
Change boot-strap and phpunit environments.
I have been a web-developer for 5 years but I have never used WordPress for one of my clients before. Once I can get this set up writing the unit tests will be easy; but I have no idea what is causing this issue. Any links to guides/tutorials or clear explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

There is a WordPress test suite, which your question suggests you might have missed:
http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/automated-testing/
Keep in mind, with that being highlighted, that WP was not designed in such a way that it or anything related to it can or is supposed to be tested. The modus operandi has, for years, been to commit code with no tests at all. It's admittedly improving over the years, albeit at a slow pace.

Upgraded Drush 8 to 9 Site Alias Not Working

I moved from using Docksal to Acquia ADS (Lando) which automatically upgraded my Drush from 8 to 9. My local site works fine but I can't get Drush 9 to "see" my Drupal 8 site. The aliases seem to have been created and added to the drush/sites folder and running drush site:alias does show them. However running drush status shows my Drupal root as /app. My Drupal root is /app/docroot. My alias files do have this as their root (for local). I'm not sure why Drush doesn't use the alias files it knows about. I've tried:
drush #self(or #local) list and I get some commands and this statement at the end:
[NOTE] Drupal root not found. Pass --root or a #siteAlias in order to see Drupal-specific commands.
Doing drush #local(or #self) cr returns:
In BootstrapHook.php line 32: Bootstrap failed. Run your command
with -vvv for more information.
With -vvv:

Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Figured it out. No matter how many ways you try to tell Drush where to look to find your Drupal root, none of it will matter until you edit your composer.json file. Turns out the key to making Drush 9+ work is changing the name in composer.
My composer.json file name went from:
"name": "drupal/drupal",
to:
"name": "drupal-composer/drupal-project",
I don't think this feature was documented anywhere so I'm posting it here in response to my own question in case this helps anyone else.
I realize that this is an older question, however with Drupal 8 recently reaching end of life, and the high probability of many people (like myself) scrambling to upgrade now that clients have realized the risks of using EOL software, I want to take a moment to explain why #r00t's answer works.
r00t is correct that changing the "name" value in composer.json fixed the issue, however, the value that is set is not limited to drupal-composer/drupal-project. This seems to stem from the package webflo/drupal-finder and the way it works.
webflow/drupal-finder is a requirement of drush/drush, so it's going to be included even if you haven't added it manually. It's also a requirement of a couple of others that you may or may not have installed, like palantirnet/drupal-rector (which as a side note, is really helpful for this upgrade).
Within the code for drupal-finder is a method that looks for the install path of Drupal core based on a few items within your composer.json file.
Here is the code from DrupalFinder::isValidRoot()
foreach ($json['extra']['installer-paths'] as $install_path => $items) {
if (in_array('type:drupal-core', $items) ||
in_array('drupal/core', $items) ||
in_array('drupal/drupal', $items)) {
$this->composerRoot = $path;
// #todo: Remove this magic and detect the major version instead.
if (($install_path == 'core') || ((isset($json['name'])) && ($json['name'] == 'drupal/drupal'))) {
$install_path = '';
} elseif (substr($install_path, -5) == '/core') {
$install_path = substr($install_path, 0, -5);
}
....
Which is telling drupal-finder that if the "name" value is drupal/drupal then the install path of the site is at the base of the project, however if it is not drupal/drupal then use a value from extra.installer-paths to find the site install.
I'm still not aware if this is documented anywhere on either webflo/drupal-finder or in drush/drush, but understanding why it was an issue helped me out tremendously.
TL;DR:
If your site's docroot lives next to your vendor folder, change the name in composer.json to anything that isn't drupal/drupal. If your vendor folder lives inside your docroot, drupal/drupal will work for you.

"include_recipe" vs. Vagrantfile "chef.add_recipe". What's the difference?

Just ran nginx::source recipe on my vagrant box, and I have very unusual behaviour.
When I include a recipe from the Vagrantfile (as below), everything works like a charm,
chef.add_recipe("project::nginx")
chef.add_recipe("nginx::source")
(project::nginx recipe is very simple. Using it to override default attributes of the nginx cookbook)
but if I include a recipe at the very end of project::nginx (mentioned up), everything falls apart:
node.default['nginx']['server_names_hash_bucket_size'] = 128
include_recipe "nginx::source"
Until now I didn't know there's any difference in behaviour between those two invocations. Does anybody here knows what's the difference?
Gotya! Chef 11 feature. Issue with it exist in chef-solo solely :)
To make a quick resume, difference is:
chef.add_recipe() - loads entire cookbook context (all the files, e.g. recipes, definitions, attributes...)
include_recipe "" - files(attributes, definitions etc.) that are not in the expended run list are not loaded.
There are at least 4 ways to solve the issue(put files in the run list):
include_attribute - include desired attribute file explicitly.
metadata.rb->dependency - if your cookbook is using recipe from another cookbook, put that cookbook in metadata.rb's dependency section, and all it's files will be loaded.
chef.add_recipe() - Load recipe via Vagrantfile. (Mentioned here just for reference)
Berkshelf - you may use this cookbook manager to solve the issue as well. Here's the Stackoverflow thread about this exact problem and some Docs
For those who are interested in further reading, Chef 11 introduced dependency-based cookbook loading for non-recipe files. The new loading logic means that files belonging to cookbooks which exist in the cookbook_path but are not in the expanded run_list or dependencies of the cookbooks in the expanded run_list will no longer be loaded. REF: Opscode breaking changes documentation, and if you need a signature of the error I got, here's the exactly same one, even for the same cause.

Why does Symfony2 set the error_reporting?

I've been trying to remove the E_NOTICE and E_STRICT error levels to avoid this error:
Runtime Notice: Only variables should be passed by reference
I tried modifying php.ini but didn't work, error_reporting always is -1. Then I tried setting it dynamically in the current action, and worked fine. Then I also tried the same in the first line in app_dev.php and didn't work. Which means Symfony2 is setting it dynamically somewhere.
What should I do?
EDIT
For those who are not familiar with the error:
$user = $this->('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
$first = reset($user->getRoles()); // error
$roles = $user->getRoles();
$first = reset($roles); // works fine
Whilst the notice is not 'retarded', this is a reasonable question in other contexts so: this is set in the Kernel instance, instantiated in app_dev.php (or app.php).
The second parameter to the construct is a boolean debug flag, and if true then error_reporting is set to -1 and display_errors to 1, otherwise default and 0 respectively.
$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', false);
symfony documentation
Hope this helps.
I got the same error in the following scenario i.e.
Scenario:
I lost the development environment for my existing LIVE project. But I got the whole code from GIT repo and then installed the symfony 2.4.2 (same version as on LIVE site) in my new development environment. Then I found that the web-application pages working on the LIVE site are broken in my new DEV environment.
Solution:
I spent quit a lot time to understand why the problem is then I found that i.e.
When I installed symfony 2.4.2 in my development environment using composer.phar then it created a new web/app_dev.php file in my development environment and it has the following entry to turn it off i.e.
Debug::enable();
Just comment the above line then the php notices will be off and then all the pages that were giving me notices are fixed.
I hope this will be helpful for someone having the same problem like me. Good Luck!
Cheers.
PS: But I will recommend to enable the above line in your new development projects so that you can see the PHP notices and then remove them during development.

PHPUnit - does nothing, no errors, no output

Sorry for another 'phpunit doesn't work' question. It used to work for years now. Today I reinstalled PEAR and phpunit for reasons not connected to this problem. Now when I run phpunit as I usually did. Nothing happens. The cli just shows me a new line, no output whatsoever.
Has anyone encountered this problem or has an idea what could have caused it.
PHPUnit Version: 3.5.15
PEAR Version: 1.9.4
PHP Version: 5.3.8
Windows 7
I'm on OSX and MAMP. To get error messages I had to adjust the following entries in php.ini:
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
Please not that this has to go into /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini .
For future reference, for those who are facing any problem with PHPUnit, and PHPUnit is failing silently, just add this three lines inside phpunit.xml:
<phpunit ....... >
...
...
<php>
<ini name="display_errors" value="true"/>
</php>
</phpunit>
After that run the tests again, and now you can see why PHPUnit is failing,
AND ... ENJOY UNIT TESTING :)
I know the orignal poster's question is already answered, but just for any people searching in the future: one thing that can cause PHPUnit to fail silently (i.e. it just stops running tests without telling you why) is that it has an error handler that it set up before each test run, which is intended to capture errors and display them at the end of the test run. The problem is that certain errors halt execution of the whole test run.
What I generally do when this happens, as a first step, is reset the error handler to something that will immediately output the error message. In my base test class I have a method called setVerboseErrorHandler, which I'll call at the top of the test (or in setUp) when this happens. The below requires php 5.3 or higher (due to the closure), so if you're on 5.2 or lower you can make it a regular function.
protected function setVerboseErrorHandler()
{
$handler = function($errorNumber, $errorString, $errorFile, $errorLine) {
echo "
ERROR INFO
Message: $errorString
File: $errorFile
Line: $errorLine
";
};
set_error_handler($handler);
}
Create the simplest test class you can without a bootstrap.php or phpunit.xml to first verify that your new installation works. PHPUnit will stop without any message if it cannot instantiate all of the test cases--one for each test method and data provider--before running any tests.
You have already figured out how to get it to work, but my solution was a little different.
First thing you can do is check the exit status. If it's not 0, then PHP exited and because of the INI configuration settings set, none of the PHP error messages were outputted. What I did was to enable the "display_errors" INI setting, and set "error_reporting" to E_ALL. I was then able to identify errors such as PHP not being able to parse a certain script. Once I fixed that, PHPUnit ran properly.
I managed to spectacularly paint myself in a corner with a custom "fatal error handler" that in certain rare conditions turned out to output nothing. Those conditions, in accordance with Murphy's Law, materialized once I had forgotten the handler was in place.
Since it wasn't really a "PHPunit problem", none of the other answers helped [although #David's problem was at the bottom the same thing], even though the symptoms were the same - phpunit terminating with no output, no errors, no log and no clue.
In the end I had to resort to a step-by-step tracing of the whole test suite by adding this in the bootstrap code:
register_shutdown_function(function() {
foreach ($GLOBALS['lastStack'] as $i => $frame) {
print "{$i}. {$frame['file']} +{$frame['line']} in function {$frame['function']}\n";
}
});
register_tick_function(function() {
$GLOBALS['lastStack'] = debug_backtrace(DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS, 8);
});
declare(ticks=1);
If anyone ever manages to do worse than this, and somehow block stdout as well, this modification should work:
register_shutdown_function(function() {
$fp = fopen("/tmp/path-to-debugfile.txt", "w");
foreach ($GLOBALS['lastStack'] as $i => $frame) {
fwrite($fp, "{$i}. {$frame['file']} +{$frame['line']} in function {$frame['function']}\n");
}
fclose($fp);
});
an old thread this one, but one I stumbled across when having the same problem.
I had the same problem, nothing being returned to console including print, print_r, echo etc.
solved it by using --stderr as a test-runner option.
Check that you haven't written any logic into your code that just dies, with no output. For example,
<?php
if (!array_key_exists('SERVER_NAME', $_SERVER)) {
die();
}
This was exactly my case; I'd made some assumptions about the environment which were correct when running the code via Apache, but weren't fulfilled when running from CLI and the code did not echo any output.
PHPUnit tried to include the bootstrap file before giving the usual init output, but died during the bootstrapping proccess, hence exiting with status 0 and no output.
If when you run from command line a recent version of phpunit like this
> php phpunit
or
> ./phpunit
or
> php ./phpunit.phar
or
> ./phpunit.phar
And you immediatly return to the prompt with no messages, this is probably due to a "suhosin secutiry" setup.
phpunit is now a "phar" package including all libraries. To be able to run such file when php has the suhosin security module enabled, you must first set this
suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar
into you php.ini file (for example, with debian/ubuntu, you may have to edit file /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini
i tried everything here, but nothing worked until i tried phpunit --no-configuration simpletest.php. that finally gave me some output, which implies that my phpunit.xml.dist file is broken. (i'll come back and update this once i debug it.)
the contents of simpletest.php are below, but any test file should work.
<?php
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
final class FooTest extends TestCase
{
public function testFoo()
{
$this->assertEquals('x', 'y');
}
}
Check if the phpunit you're running and the one you installed are the same:
$ pear list phpunit/phpunit
...
script /path/to/phpunit
...
Try to execute exactly that phpunit with the full path.
Then check your PATH variable and see if the correct directory is in it. If not, fix that.
If that does not help, use write something into the phpunit executable, e.g. "echo 123;" and run phpunit. Check if you see that.
For me the conflict was with Xdebug's directive
xdebug.remote_enable=1
If you are using composer, check to make sure your included PHP files are not ending the code executions. The same goes for when you included certain PHP files explicitly.
In my case, I was working on a WordPress plugin and one of the PHP files I included directly in composer.json (which I don't want to load through PSR-4 because WordPress's coding standards don't support it yet) had this code on top;
if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {
exit(); // exit if accessed directly
}
And since ABSPATH will not be defined when I run the tests directly, the code was exiting.
This is because, since I told Composer to always load these files each time, this part of the code will execute, while the other files included though autoload PSR will load on demand.
So check to make sure any of the files you included are not stopping the code execution. If it happens, then even when you run phpunit --info the code will still exit and you won't see any output.
I was facing a seems problem. I could run phpunit from root directory but not from anywhere else. so I put the "--configuration" tag, and point it to my xml configuration.
$ ./<path_to_phpunit>phpunit --configuration <path_to_phpunitxml>/phpunit.xml
The path to phpunit is optinal, I used it because I installed locally by composer.
In /composer/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/TextUI/Command.php in main() function in catch (Throwable $t) {} block var_dump (echo / print_r) exception. If an exception exists, you, probably, will solve the current problem.

javascript is not working in my wordpress on (wamp + windows 7)

i installed wordpress on my localhost (wamp on windows 7) but javascript is not working on my admin area
any help ?
EDIT
i'm tracking the problem
it seems it's from /wp-admin/loadscripts.php line 123 "get_file" function .. when it's getting the javascript from the file it replaces " with \" it did preg_replace but it seems that there is something else .. i tried different function file_get_contents for example and still the same problem
here is 1 of the errors from firefox error window
Error: syntax error

The reason for this is often conflicting plugins. If you installed any new plugins recently, try deactivating them one by one and see whether you can find the culprit.
Also, look in Firebug's "Net" tab to see whether there are any missing resources.
i solved that !!
when we open a javascript file and output in windows we need stripslashes and everything will work perfectly
stripslashes was the culprit. Spot on! If you guys have installed WAMP and are running wordpress on it. Go to WAMP > PHP Settings > and uncheck all Magic quotes options if they are checked and restart WAMP, You are good to go. Cheers.
