It finally occurred to me that instead of patching WordPress, I should just build an installer (which I did for one project), which creates the wp-config.php in that folder. So eventually, with my tool, you will be able to go to the site and it will tell you, “Hey, you need to install wp-config.php first” and then proceed to do so.
I want my tool to be as easy as possible, just like WordPress installation to where it does everything for you. You just need to know how to create a cron job or schedule task for running the automated test run portion. The individual manual test run does not require a cron job, so it should be far easier to work with. I started porting the code over, but I’m not finished.
Another plan I have is to allow for my tool to be run on PHP4. The Automattic WordPress Tests works on PHP4, so my tool should also work on PHP4. However, I also want to build an importer to fix optimization issues with running SQLite. It appears I need more indexes on the table, so that it is quicker. I’m going to support MySQL and import to that and then fix the SQLite issues.
The only tool supporting PHP4 and PHP5 will be the manual test run and keep the automated test run PHP5 only.
