# WooCommerce Tests
This document discusses unit tests. See [the e2e README](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/tests/e2e) to learn how to setup testing environment for running e2e tests and run them.

## Initial Setup
From the WooCommerce root directory (if you are using VVV you might need to `vagrant ssh` first), run the following:
1. Install [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/) via Composer by running:
```
$ composer install
```
2. Install WordPress and the WP Unit Test lib using the `install.sh` script:
```
$ tests/bin/install.sh <db-name> <db-user> <db-password> [db-host]
```
You may need to quote strings with backslashes to prevent them from being processed by the shell or other programs.
Example:
$ tests/bin/install.sh woocommerce_tests root root
# woocommerce_tests is the database name and root is both the MySQL user and its password.
**Important**: The `<db-name>` database will be created if it doesn't exist and all data will be removed during testing.
## Running Tests
Change to the plugin root directory and type:
$ vendor/bin/phpunit
The tests will execute and you'll be presented with a summary.
You can run specific tests by providing the path and filename to the test class:
$ vendor/bin/phpunit tests/legacy/unit-tests/importer/product.php
A text code coverage summary can be displayed using the `--coverage-text` option:
$ vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-text
## Writing Tests
There are three different unit test directories:
- `tests/legacy/unit-tests` contains tests for code in the `includes` directory. No new tests should be added here, ever; existing test classes shouldn't get new tests either. Fixing faulty existing tests is allowed.
- `tests/php/includes` is where all the new tests for code in the `includes` directory should be written.
- `tests/php/src` is where all the tests for code in the `src` directory should be written.
Each test file should correspond to an associated source file and be named accordingly:
* For `src` code: The base namespace for tests is `Automattic\WooCommerce\Tests`. A class named `Automattic\WooCommerce\TheNamespace\TheClass` should have a test named `Automattic\WooCommerce\Tests\TheNamespace\TheClassTest`.
* For `includes` code:
* When testing classes: use the same approach as for `src` except that namespaces are not used. So a `WC_Something` class in `includes/somefolder/class-wc-something.php` should have its tests in `tests/src/internal/somefolder/class-wc-something-test.php`.
* When testing functions: use one test file per functions group file, for example `wc-formatting-functions-test.php` for code in the `wc-formatting-functions.php` file.
See also [the guidelines for writing unit tests for `src` code](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/src/README.md#writing-unit-tests) and [the guidelines for `includes` code](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/includes/README.md#writing-unit-tests).
General guidelines for all the unit tests:
* Each test method should cover a single method or function with one or more assertions
* A single method or function can have multiple associated test methods if it's a large or complex method
* Use the test coverage HTML report (under `tmp/coverage/index.html`) to examine which lines your tests are covering and aim for 100% coverage
* For code that cannot be tested (e.g. they require a certain PHP version), you can exclude them from coverage using a comment: `// @codeCoverageIgnoreStart` and `// @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd`. For example, see [`wc_round_tax_total()`](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/35f83867736713955fa2c4f463a024578bb88795/includes/wc-formatting-functions.php#L208-L219)
* In addition to covering each line of a method/function, make sure to test common input and edge cases.
* Prefer `assertSame()` where possible as it tests both type and value
* Remember that only methods prefixed with `test` will be run so use helper methods liberally to keep test methods small and reduce code duplication. If there is a common helper method used in multiple test files, consider adding it to the `WC_Unit_Test_Case` class so it can be shared by all test cases
* Filters persist between test cases so be sure to remove them in your test method or in the `tearDown()` method.
* Use data providers where possible. Be sure that their name is like `data_provider_function_to_test` (i.e. the data provider for `test_is_postcode` would be `data_provider_test_is_postcode`). Read more about data providers [here](https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html#writing-tests-for-phpunit.data-providers).
## Automated Tests
Tests are automatically run with [Travis-CI](https://travis-ci.org/woocommerce/woocommerce) for each commit and pull request.
## Code Coverage
Code coverage is available on [Codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/woocommerce/woocommerce/) which receives updated data after each Travis build.
