Created "Unit Tests" milestone and component; we can look into creating more specific ones as we go.

The build is underway.

We've decided to encapsulate it in a plugin so everyone's install auto-synchs with the release-to-production version.

As this is a joint project between our teams, we'll be giving Boone commit access on our staging server and the plugin's Wordpress repo so that your team can make changes without having to go through us.

All dev activities for the unit test system will be coordinated through your TRAC, because everyone's on here and it works better than our bug tracker.

ETA: 2-3 days.

We're happy to present the first cut of the Buddypress unit tests !

1) Check out the Razor unit test platform from this SVN:

​https://wp-razor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

and drop it into a folder called /razor/ in your WP plugins folder.

2) Check out the BP unit test stack from this SVN:

​https://wp-razor.googlecode.com/svn/bp-tests/

and place the 'unit-test' folder inside the /buddypress/ folder

3) In a terminal window, navigate to /plugins/razor/ and type "php test.php --plugin=buddypress --panel=A"

You should get output similar to what's shown in the attached screen capture.

It's going to be a few more days before we have some substantial tests built for you, but the 'hello world' test fixture we've included should be enough for you to test whatever you're working on if you need to do it right away.

Oops, the wordpress-razor link still exists.

Will download it later and add it as an attachment to future proof it, as the first link posted (​​http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/source/detail?r=2450) no longer exists.

The reason that we didn't upload anything to trac is written here -> ​http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3567#comment:1

There was and may still be a 256kb upload limit.

The Razor project is now hosted on Github -> ​https://github.com/WP-Razor/
