------------------------------+-----------------------------
 In the wordPress test suite for version 4.7.3, inside `tests/phpunit/tests
 /rest-api/rest-schema-setup.php` line 303 a relative path is used for
 writing into a file.
 Our use case is that the WordPress tests are cloned into our project and
 they run alongside our own test suite from an upper level directory in an
 automated build. That makes this specific test to fail since it cannot
 resolve the relative path correctly and thus the whole build fails.

 The suggestion would be to use absolute paths here in order to let others
 include this test suite as a subset of a bigger test suite and run all of
 them from top level, without `cd`-ing into every subset.
