CommonsBooking is a plugin for the management and booking of common goods. This plugin provides associations, groups, and individuals with the ability to share items (such as cargo bikes and tools) among users. It is based on the concept of Commons, where resources are shared for the benefit of the community.

Contribute

Either through translating WordPress into your native tongue (see the already existing WordPress Plugin Translations) or through developing and testing new versions of the application.

Development

Run plugin

First, we have to install the necessary dependencies and packages, we can do this by using the

npm run start

command.

The most easy way to start hacking WordPress plugins in general (if you have no other development environment set up) is using wp-env. Install it and it's dependencies (mainly Docker) and run this to start the enviroment:

npm run env:start

The provided .wp-env.json should be sufficient for normal development, for details see the documentation of wp-env config. You can create a .wp-env.override.json for a custom configuration you don't want to check in.

For testing, you can activate the kasimir theme via wp cli inside the wp-env docker container:

npm run env run cli wp theme activate kasimir-theme

Test plugin

To test the code you first run the preparation scripts to load the wordpress core and configure database connection via wp-config.php. The following line can vary on your system, use the appropriate credentials, databse port and version of wordpress. The appropriate database port is printed out by npm run env:start:

bash bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress root password 127.0.0.1:49153 latest

Testing the plugin code via phpunit. At the moment it works only with a manually downloaded phar. We are using PHPUnit 9 and PHP7.4 for the automated tests. The tests might fail if you are using a different version.

php ~/phpunit.phar --bootstrap tests/php/bootstrap.php

E2E (end to end) tests are written in cypress. To run them you need to install cypress and start the wordpress environment:

npm run env:start

Now, install the test data needed for the tests:

npm run cypress:setup

Then you can run the tests:

npm run cypress:run

Or open Cypress using

npm run cypress:open

Update translations

Currently, we only manage German and English translations as po files in the repository, so they are available at build time. See the WordPress plugin translation page for other languages available at runtime.

Create a new .pot file using the

wp i18n make-pot . languages/commonsbooking.pot

command in the plugin directory. Make sure that all of your strings use the __ function with the domain commonsbooking. Then you can use poedit to open the commonsbooking-de_DE.po and update the strings from the pot file.

Build plugin zip

To create the plugin zip file for uploading to a development server:

bin/build-zip.sh
