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

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
