Hi @danbp,

I’m familiar with how BuddyPress tests work in general, and so I’ve read https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/automated-testing/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/automated-testing/writing-automated-tests-for-buddypress-dependent-plugins/, but what I’m asking is, what’s the best-practices way of writing an automated setup for automated tests, in the style of install-wp-tests.sh, so that tests will run on any machine, and not just my own development box (i.e. Travis, etc.)? If you look at that file, you’ll see that it installs WordPress in /tmp so that it can test against it, using the function install_wp(). I figure I also need a function install_bp() that would do something similar with BuddyPress. Simple enough. But I was wondering whether someone already has a setup like this in their install-wp-tests.sh, so that a) I didn’t have to go about the process of writing my own, and b) I can take advantage of whatever optimizations experienced BP developers may have made in this process, which I might be unaware of. Do you know of a setup like that? For instance, what do you use to set up your Travis box so that it can automatically run tests for your plugins?
