WooCommerce Development Cycle

This skill provides guidance for the WooCommerce development workflow, including running tests, code quality checks, and troubleshooting.

Instructions

Follow these guidelines for WooCommerce development workflow:

• Running tests: See running-tests.md for PHP and JavaScript test commands, test environment setup, and troubleshooting

• Code quality: See code-quality.md for linting and code style fixes

• PHP linting patterns: See php-linting-patterns.md for common PHP linting issues and fixes

• Markdown linting: See markdown-linting.md for markdown file linting and formatting

Development Workflow

The standard development workflow:

• Make code changes

• Run relevant tests: pnpm run test:php:env -- --filter YourTestClass

• Run linting/type checking: pnpm run lint:changes:branch:php

• Fix any issues: pnpm run lint:php:fix

• Commit changes only after tests pass

Key Principles

• Always run tests after making changes to verify functionality

• Use specific test filters to run relevant tests during development

• Fix linting errors solely for code in your current branch

• Test failures provide detailed output showing expected vs actual values

• The test environment handles WordPress/WooCommerce setup automatically
