Testing Bedrock with Pest

Bedrock includes a minimal testing setup based on Pest (powered by PHPUnit).

Running tests #

Run the test suite from your Bedrock root:

$ composer test

Default test structure #

Bedrock ships with these testing files:

• phpunit.xml.dist - PHPUnit configuration used by Pest
• tests/Pest.php - Pest bootstrap and shared test configuration
• tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php - Example test

Writing tests #

Add tests anywhere under tests/:

<?php

test('home URL is configured', function () {
    expect(env('WP_HOME'))->not->toBeEmpty();
});

Then run:

$ composer test

Scope of the default setup #

The default setup is intentionally minimal and framework-agnostic:

• It gives you a ready-to-run PHP testing baseline
• It does not include WordPress core integration test bootstrap or database test provisioning

If you need deeper WordPress integration testing, you can extend this baseline with your preferred tooling.
