WordPress change post_date for tests

by No3x on 29th July 2014 in WordPress • 0 Comments

If you want to create a post via the post factory in you tests you can do it like this:

function test_getPostsInYear() {
$post1_id = $this->factory->post->create( array( 'post_date' => date( '2010-04-08 13:46:43' ) ) );
$post2_id = $this->factory->post->create( array( 'post_date' => date( '2014-04-08 13:46:43' ) ) );
..

function test_getPostsInYear() {

$post1_id = $this->factory->post->create( array( 'post_date' => date( '2010-04-08 13:46:43' ) ) );

$post2_id = $this->factory->post->create( array( 'post_date' => date( '2014-04-08 13:46:43' ) ) );

Make sure to pass a date! Unix timestamps or other formats won’t work. This creates 2 posts with different dates. You can test the function getPostsInYear(2014) as follows:

$result = $this->plugin->getPostsInYear( 2014 );
$post_ids = array();
foreach ( $result as $post ) {
	$post_ids[] = $post->ID;
}
		
$this->assertNotContains( $post1_id, $post_ids );
$this->assertContains( $post2_id, $post_ids );

$result = $this->plugin->getPostsInYear( 2014 );

$post_ids = array();

foreach ( $result as $post ) {

$post_ids[] = $post->ID;

}

$this->assertNotContains( $post1_id, $post_ids );

$this->assertContains( $post2_id, $post_ids );

Post1 should not be returned by getPostsInYear( 2014 ) because… Read more →

WordPress action or filter not called

If you are using the wordpress api to hook into actions or filters there are some pitfalls. But these pitfalls are not wordpress related but likely your faults. I wan’t to show how to NOT hook into wordpress. 1. add_action( "actionA", array( __CLASS__, "processA", 10, 3) ); Please check the array declaration. Stupid mistake, but it’s hard to locate the error. You can output $wp_filter and check… Read more →
