When testing a theme or plugin, you can use WP-CLI to scaffold the test suite setup, wp scaffold plugin-test plugin
.
So is there a good way to integrate an editor/IDE (VS Code in my case) so that autocompletion (method signatures, etc) works within the tests? Since the test library is installed in /tmp/
the editor is not indexing those files and thus thinks classes and functions are missing.

Reset to default 0In order of preference:
composer require wp-phpunit/wp-phpunit --dev
. Depending on the IDE you use you might need to mark the package invendor/
as a source directory.- Each IDE allows you to add definitions from external libraries. In PHPStorm it's
Settings → Languages & Frameworks → PHP → Include Path
. - Just copy the files over to some directory in your project and exclude them with
.gitignore
(if you use Git for version control).
