WP_Query is one of the most critical classes in WordPress. It holds a lot
of features and complicated rules to generate the SQL queries to fetch
posts from the databases.
Working on bug fixes and new features for it is very tricky because one is
always afraid that any change to it could silently break things and tear
the world apart.
One way to make us feel more secure when working with this class is to
have better test coverage for it. Looking at the tests we currently have I
found very few tests for this class.
I've created this ticket to organize and receive patches to add tests to
this class.
Below I organized the WP_Query parameters we should, at first, create
tests for. Once we have tests for them individually, we can think of a way
to write tests that combine different parameters.
* Author params
* author
* author_name
* author__in
* author__not_in
* Category params
* cat
* category_name
* category__and
* category__in
* category__not_in
* Tag params
* tag
* tag_id
* tag__and
* tag__in
* tag__not_in
* tag_slug__and
* tag_slug__in
* Tax_query
* Meta_query
* date_query
* post_mime_type
* fields
* name
* page_id
* pagename
* post_parent
* post_parent__in
* post_parent__not_in
* post__in
* post__not_in
* post_name__in
* has_password
* post_password
* post_type
* post_status
* comment_count
* nopaging
* posts_per_page
* offset
* paged
* ignore_sticky_posts
* order and orderby paramaters
PS - what motivated me to open this ticket (and start working on these
tests) was #48556 and #44737
