Code Modernization: Explicitly declare all properties created in set_up()
methods of various test classes.
Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
In each of the cases included in this commit, one or more properties are dynamically created in the set_up()
method of the test class. This commit explicitly declares these properties.
As these properties are being declared on test classes, they are marked as private. Even though the original dynamic property was public, this should not be considered a backward compatibility break as this only involves test classes.
Notes:
- As these properties receive assignments during test runs or a one-time assignment, but the assignment uses a function call or variable access, these properties cannot be changed to class constants, but they should be declared explicitly as properties on the class.
- In
Tests_Theme_CustomHeader
, the $customize_manager
property is given a default value of null
, same as it was already being reset to null
in the tear_down()
method.
- In
Tests_Privacy_wpPrivacyProcessPersonalDataExportPage
and Tests_Privacy_wpPrivacyGeneratePersonalDataExportFile
classes, the property name had a leading _
underscore. This is an outdated PHP 4 practice to indicate a private property. As PHP 4 is no longer supported, the property has been renamed to $orig_error_level
.
- Along the same lines, in
Tests_Menu_Walker_Nav_Menu
, the property name also had a leading _
underscore. The property has been renamed to $orig_wp_nav_menu_max_depth
.
- In the
Tests_Shortcode
class, three properties were already being (re)set in the set_up()
method, while three others were being set for most tests via the shortcode_test_shortcode_tag()
method or in the tests themselves. It is ensured now that all six properties are given their initial null
value in the set_up()
method and are explicitly declared.
Additionally:
- In the
Tests_User_Session
class, the set_up()
method is incorrect. No assertions should be executed in fixture methods, but the set_up()
method contains two assertions. This has not been addressed yet as it is outside the scope of this commit, but should be addressed at a later point in time.
