Testing

Requirements

nose is used as the test runner. Use easy_install or pip to install:

pip nose

Configuring against your server

To test this library, we must perform XML-RPC requests against an actual WordPress server. To configure against your own server:

• Copy the included wp-config-sample.cfg file to wp-config.cfg.
• Edit wp-config.cfg and fill in the necessary values.

Running Tests

Note: Be sure to have installed nose and created your wp-config.cfg.

To run the entire test suite, run the following from the root of the repository:

nosetests

To run a sub-set of the tests, you can specify a specific feature area:

nosetests -a posts

You can run against multiple areas:

nosetests -a posts -a comments

Or you can run everything except a specific area:

nosetests -a '!comments'

You can use all the normal nose command line options. For example, to increase output level:

nosetests -a demo --verbosity=3
