Develop in situ PHPUnit tests

I've had some difficulty creating a framework for the PHPUnit tests.
Rather than dynamically creating the field groups and fields I've had to resort to defining a set of field groups for a new CPT called test-acf-fields.
And then I had difficulty getting more than one test to run.

The call to get_field('acf-field-name'); fails in the second test case.

This is because, during the method tearDown(), in class WP_UnitTestCase, in oik-batch\tests\testcase.php, the WordPress test suite resets the hooks that ACF has added. This removes the filter function for acf/pre_load_post_id which is needed to determine the value of the acf-field-name from the block's attributes.

Workaround

• Change tearDown() to not call _restore_hooks()

Longer term solution

• Allow the test case to determine whether or not _restore_hooks() is run during tearDown().

I have to resort to defining a set of field groups for a new CPT called test-acf-fields.

To do this I imported the acf-json from the original theme 'genesis-oik', to the active theme 'Fizzie',
and changed the Location Rules to this CPT.

This works for the s.b/wordpress environment, but not for others such as s.b/oikcom, where the block examples are documented.

It would make sense for these .json files to be stored in the tests\acf-json subdirectory so that they could be loaded into other environments. In which case they may as well support both CPTs test-acf-fields and block_examples.

So far I've added tests for 5 field types. These have been tested with PHP 8.1 and PHP 8.2
Further tests need adding for the other field types
plus some pre-requisite tests such as confirming that Advanced Custom Fields PRO is activated.

So far I've added tests for 5 field types.

Actually 6 - text, text-area, number, range, email, url

This one to do for the basic field types: password.

Then for the rest see the table of field types supported in https://www.oik-plugins.com/oik-plugins/field-block-for-acf-pro/
