# Vagrant Wordpress Theming #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a [Vagrant][vagrant] setup for creating Wordpress themes. Uses
|
|
|
|
|
[Chef Solo][chef] recipes for provisioning. The recipes are copied from
|
|
|
|
|
[my fork][cookbooks-developish] of [those by Opscode][cookbooks-opscode], which
|
|
|
|
|
allows for their use with Chef Solo and for a blank MySQL root password.

## To get started ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-20 14:58:08 +00:00
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/paulcarvill/vagrant-wordpress.git <working directory>
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd <working directory>
|
|
|
|
|

You'll need to install Wordpress (i.e. set up an admin user, name the Wordpress
|
|
|
|
|
blog etc.). Then copy a base theme (like the totally stripped-down [Starkers][starkers]) into the theme
|
|
|
|
|
directory, select Appearance > Themes in the Wordpress dashboard, choose the new theme and get to work!

Your Ubuntu/PHP/MySQL box exists as a virtual machine. The website running on
|
|
|
|
|
the virtual machine is pointing back at the theme directory on your local
|
|
|
|
|
machine. So you can do your work, keep it in version control, and destroy the
|
|
|
|
|
virtual machine once you're finished using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-20 14:58:08 +00:00
|
|
|
$ bundle exec vagrant destroy

You also get a basic configuration of [Cucumber](http://cukes.info/) set up to
|
|
|
|
|
make sure your initial install of WordPress is sane. Just run `bundle exec cucumber`.

You'll be using [capybara-webkit](http://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit) to run your tests in a virtual

|

|
browser. Write those acceptance tests for your theme/plugin!
