Comment (by pcarvalho):
Hi everyone!
this is my first patch to wp, so let me know there's something wrong.
i've followed @boonebgorges suggestions and:
* added @since 4.6.0 Added required attribute
* updated the documentation for this field
* added the unit test function to Tests_Category with the following
results:
[x] test get all category ids
[x] test get category by slug
[x] test make cat compat
[x] test get cat name
[x] test get cat ID
[x] test get category by path
[x] test wp dropdown categories value field should default to term id
**[x] test wp dropdown categories value field should contain required**
[x] test wp dropdown categories value field term id
[x] test wp dropdown categories value field slug
[x] test wp dropdown categories value field should fall back on term id
when an invalid value is provided
[x] test wp dropdown categories selected should respect custom value
field
[x] test wp dropdown categories show option all should be selected if no
selected value is explicitly passed and value field does not have string
values
[x] test wp dropdown categories show option all should be selected if
selected value of 0 string is explicitly passed and value field does not
have string values
== Other attributes
there's other allowed attributes, namely;
* **disabled** : ''Specifies that the element represents a disabled
control''
* **multiple** : ''indicates that its select element represents a control
for selecting zero or more options from a list of options.''
* **size** : ''The number of options to show to the user.''
* **form** : ''The value of the id attribute on the form with which to
associate the element.''
* **autofocus** : ''Specifies that the element represents a control to
which a UA is meant to give focus as soon as the document is loaded.''
