Getting Started: Quality Assurance Testing
The process for testing PRs from the Barista repo is a little different than the Cafe repo, you'll need to do the following:
-
in a terminal navigate to your cafe repo's plugin folder (something like)
cd /path/to/your/dev/site/wp-content/plugins
so for example, if your local test site was located in a folder named
/var/www/cafe.test
, then you would run the following command to get to your plugins folder:cd /var/www/cafe.test/wp-content/plugins
-
if you don't already have the barista repo cloned, then run the following command
git clone git@github.com:eventespresso/barista.git
-
switch into that folder
cd barista
-
checkout the branch you need to test
git checkout FIX/pull-request-branch-name
-
run the following commands
yarn build
-
then go to your browser and log into your cafe test site (the one you just cloned the barista repo into)
https://www.cafe.test/wp-login.php
-
go to the WordPress Plugins admin page
https://www.cafe.test/wp-admin/plugins.php
-
find and activate the "Barista for Event Espresso" plugin (NOT the "Barista Tester" plugin)
-
Congrats! Now you are ready to continue with testing the pull request
