Running tests

The tests use PHPUnit, which can be installed using composer. Once you've got composer installed, run:

composer.phar install --dev

Before running the tests, you'll need a MySQL user called wp_cli_test with the password password1 that has full privileges on the MySQL database wp_cli_test. Running the following as root in MySQL should do the trick:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_cli_test.* TO "wp_cli_test"@"localhost"
IDENTIFIED BY "password1";

Finally, to run the tests:

vendor/bin/phpunit

Most tests install WordPress from scratch. Since this is pretty slow, you can use arguments to phpunit to only run the test that you're interested in:
