    Maybe I didn't specific with my question, hence didn't get any reply from experts.

    I have a wordpress plugin that name is qa-test. I am trying to do automated testing on that plugin.

    I ran the command

    wp scaffold plugin-tests qa-test

    that generated test files successfully.

    Now, I need to run the below command

    bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root '' localhost latest

    inorder to stat the phpunit. Since I have that windows system and not ubuntu

    I have installed cygwin software and started running the

    bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root '' localhost latest

    in command prompt. it says "Error opening archive: Failed to open '/tmp/wordpress.tar.gz'"

    wh is that. if you need some additional info , please let me know what details are you looking for. thanks for your time helping on this :)

    After I have installed wget.exe, which resolved the problem and ran the

    bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root ” localhost latest

    without any error.

    so right now at this point the bin/install-wp-tests.sh got created.

    in the command prompt, when I run

    phpunit it says

    Could not find C:UserspriAppDataLocalTemp/wordpress-tests-lib/includes/functions.php, have you run bin/install-wp-tests.sh?

    I am not sure why is the slashes half of them with / and other half with . where can I go and correct this issue to rectify this error, please
