Copy the file?


- Herbert, I reviewed your code and the test isn't working. You need to modify the test so that it creates a copy of the file before it is processed. You also need to rename the file to something else.

- Ok, so just copy the file before it is processed by the plugin?

- Yeah, and also rename the file to something more convenient.

- Ok it's done

- The test is still failing. Where did you add the code that copies the file?

- Copies the file?

- Yeah, remember I told you you needed to copy the file before it was processed?

- Copy the file? The file is already there.

- Yeah but...the test is failing. You need to create a copy so the test works.

- Copy the file?

- *sigh* nevermind. Please just add this code to line 43.

* 15 minutes later *

- I fixed it!

What is this "doing actual work" thing?

- How do I generate the unit tests with the PHP unit?
- You mean run them?
- No, how to create new unit tests?
- Well, you go into the tests folder and add a new test class
- So I actually have to write the tests?

(Hasn't tried to write a unit test ever since)
