WooCommerce Development Cycle

This skill provides guidance for the WooCommerce development workflow, including running tests, code quality checks, and troubleshooting.

Instructions

Follow these guidelines for WooCommerce development workflow:

1. Running tests: See [running-tests.md](running-tests.md) for PHP and JavaScript test commands, test environment setup, and troubleshooting
2. Code quality: See [code-quality.md](code-quality.md) for linting and code style fixes
3. PHP linting patterns: See [php-linting-patterns.md](php-linting-patterns.md) for common PHP linting issues and fixes
4. Markdown linting: See [markdown-linting.md](markdown-linting.md) for markdown file linting and formatting

Development Workflow

The standard development workflow:

1. Make code changes
2. Run relevant tests: pnpm run test:php:env -- --filter YourTestClass
3. Run linting/type checking: pnpm run lint:changes:branch:php
4. Fix any issues: pnpm run lint:php:fix
5. Commit changes only after tests pass

Key Principles

• Always run tests after making changes to verify functionality
• Use specific test filters to run relevant tests during development
• Fix linting errors solely for code in your current branch
• Test failures provide detailed output showing expected vs actual values
• The test environment handles WordPress/WooCommerce setup automatically
