Topic Title: Spinning up a WooCommerce testing environment in seconds using a custom WP-CLI command
Topic Description: Creating a WooCommerce plugin is fun, but spinning up a WooCommerce testing environment isn’t! At least not, if you need to set it up manually. Setting up the WooCommerce testing environment manually requires the following steps: – Creating a WordPress site. – Installing and activating the WooCommerce plugin. – Installing and activating the WooCommerce Blocks plugin. – Installing and activating the Gutenberg plugin. – Installing and activating the Stripe plugin. – Installing and activating the Storefront theme. – Importing sample products. – Setting up payment methods. – Setting up shipping methods. – Setting up tax settings. – Setting up coupons. – Setting up the WooCommerce Blocks pages. – Setting up the menu. What if you could run one command that takes care of all these steps? Imagine you could spin up a WordPress site, create an SSH connection to that site and simply run the following command: wp package install git@github.com:nielslange/woo-test-environment.git && wp woo-test-environment setup --blocks --gutenberg --stripe --theme=storefront This single command then executes all the steps I mentioned before. Within a few seconds, you’ll then have a complete WooCommerce testing environment! And if you run that command 100 times, you’ll have 100 identical testing sites. Now, how does that sound?
