Running the Unit Tests

While working on Shiny Updates, please make sure to always have Grunt in watch mode. You'll be notified immediately about failing test cases and code style errors, minimizing the amount of cleanup we will have to do when we prepare to merge this Feature Plugin into WordPress Core.

Make sure you have the necessary dependencies:

npm install

Start grunt watch or npm start to auto-build Shiny Updates as you work:

grunt watch
