[wp-hackers] Running the WordPress test suite with PHPUnit

[David Morris]

Dion, I tried the $GLOBALS suggestion in my bootstrap and my wp-config file,
and neither seemed to work. I still get the same error.

Peter, I will look into switching out the result printer in the wp-test.php
file to the junit one.

Thanks for your help,

Dave
