Comment:

 @markedgarwilliamson Thanks for taking a look at this.

 I apologize but the description of the ticket may have been confusing
 which has sent you down the wrong path.

 The functions in `/wp-includes/cron.php` already have unit tests. These
 can be found in `/tests/phpunit/tests/cron.php`.

 My goal is to add tests for calls to wp-site.example.com/wp-cron.php as
 it's currently untested. This is the file that triggers the running of
 registered cron jobs.

 I'm not sure how best to test this myself as it's testing a WordPress
 entry point rather than testing a particular WordPress function. I've
 removed the `good-first-bug` keyword as I think there are much less
 confusing tickets to start with.

 You asked if you were doing something wrong altogether. This is definitely
 not the case, any attempt to contribute to WordPress is of assistance and
 greatly appreciated!
