# WooCommerce Development Cycle

This skill provides guidance for the WooCommerce development workflow, including running tests, code quality checks, and troubleshooting.

## Instructions

Follow these guidelines for WooCommerce development workflow:

1. **Running tests**: See [running-tests.md](running-tests.md) for PHP and JavaScript test commands, test environment setup, and troubleshooting
2. **Code quality**: See [code-quality.md](code-quality.md) for linting and code style fixes
3. **PHP linting patterns**: See [php-linting-patterns.md](php-linting-patterns.md) for common PHP linting issues and fixes
4. **JS/TS i18n patterns**: See [js-i18n-patterns.md](js-i18n-patterns.md) for translatable string patterns and placeholder usage
5. **Markdown linting**: See [markdown-linting.md](markdown-linting.md) for markdown file linting and formatting

## Development Workflow

The standard development workflow:

1. Make code changes
2. Run relevant tests: `pnpm run test:php:env -- --filter YourTestClass`
3. Run linting/type checking: `pnpm run lint:changes:branch:php`
4. Fix any issues: `pnpm run lint:php:fix`
5. Commit changes only after tests pass

## Key Principles

- Always run tests after making changes to verify functionality
- Use specific test filters to run relevant tests during development
- Fix linting errors solely for code in your current branch
- Test failures provide detailed output showing expected vs actual values
- The test environment handles WordPress/WooCommerce setup automatically
