PHPUnit tutorial page lacking build vital step

Description (last modified by SergeyBiryukov)

I think this page should be updated a little
​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-testing/phpunit/

If you just follow those instructions, running phpunit on the Core fails because there is no build directory in the downloaded repositories. It took me quite some googling before figuring out that I also had to run npm install && grunt build (and installing the related packages) before running phpunit. I learnt that from #43055, but it was really tough to find!

I think we should mention that, before running phpunit, one needs to run npm install && grunt build. I tried to at least post a comment on the article myself, but it looks like that's not allowed.

Let me know if I can be of any further help!

Thanks for this ticket, @Ste_95. I am going to close this ticket out as the missing steps you mentioned have since been added to the page. New tickets can be opened for any other updates that need to be made, but those should be opened on the ​Meta Trac instance using the Handbook component.
