Comment (by pento):

 In [changeset:"38907"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38907"
 Tests: Use a minimal theme for tests.

 This functionality was originally added in [38858], using `symlink()` to
 put a link to the theme in WordPress' `themes` directory. Unfortunately,
 not all installs have write access to the `themes` directory, causing unit
 tests to fail.

 The new method is to add the test theme directory to
 `$wp_theme_directories`, and fix the handful of tests that don't expect
 `$wp_theme_directories` to have multiple entries.

 The test install/bootstrap routines now also check that `WP_DEFAULT_THEME`
 is defined, in case the tests are being run on a system that hasn't
 upgraded its' `wp-tests-config.php`.

 See #31550.
 Fixes #38457.
