Peter Wilson 0138b0dcd6 Posts, Post Types: Deprecate get_page_by_title() in favour of WP_Query.
Formally deprecate `get_page_by_title()`. In its current form the function is unpredictable in that it may return a result that leads to a 404 error and will return different results depending on the database version/engine combination used.

It is recommended developers use `WP_Query` instead:

{{{
$query = new WP_Query(
 array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'title'     => 'Sample Page',
 )
);
}}}

Fixes #57041.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
