Add unit tests for WhatsApp utility event handler to verify fix for #3841

[faisalahammad]

Summary

This PR adds comprehensive unit test coverage for the WC_Facebookcommerce_Iframe_Whatsapp_Utility_Event class. The tests verify the fix for issue #3841 (undefined variable warning) and ensure this bug does not happen again in the future.

Background

Issue #3841 reported PHP warnings about an undefined variable $should_use_billing_info in the WhatsApp utility event handler:

Warning: Undefined variable $should_use_billing_info in 
.../facebook-commerce-iframe-whatsapp-utility-event.php on line 91

The issue was already fixed in PR #3776 (merged Jan 14, 2026), but there were no unit tests to verify the fix or prevent future regressions.

Problem Analysis

Before the Fix (Old Code)

The variable was used without being defined first:

// Line 87-92 (BEFORE PR #3776)
$billing_phone_number  = $order->get_billing_phone();
$shipping_phone_number = $order->get_shipping_phone();
$phone_number          = $billing_phone_number ?? $shipping_phone_number;

// This line used $should_use_billing_info WITHOUT defining it first
$country_code = $should_use_billing_info ? $order->get_billing_country() : $order->get_shipping_country();

Result: PHP warning about undefined variable, logged multiple times per minute.

After the Fix (Current Code)

PR #3776 added proper variable definition:

// Line 87-92 (AFTER PR #3776 - Current Code)
$billing_phone_number  = $order->get_billing_phone();
$shipping_phone_number = $order->get_shipping_phone();
$phone_number          = $billing_phone_number ?? $shipping_phone_number;

// Variable is now properly defined BEFORE use
$should_use_billing_info = ! empty( $billing_phone_number );
$country_code = $should_use_billing_info ? $order->get_billing_country() : $order->get_shipping_country();

Result: No warnings. The code correctly uses billing country when billing phone exists, otherwise uses shipping country.

Why This Fix Works

The logic ensures consistent data sourcing:

• If billing phone is provided, use billing country code
• Otherwise, use shipping country code

This makes sense because whichever address provides the phone number should also provide the matching country code for correct international dialing.

Changes in This PR

New Test File

File: tests/Unit/WC_Facebookcommerce_Iframe_Whatsapp_Utility_Event_Test.php

Test Coverage (11 test cases):

1. Class instantiation - Verify the class can be created
2. Unsupported status - Verify early return for non-whatsapp statuses
3. Billing phone only ✅ Primary test for php warnings #3841 - Verify variable is defined when billing phone exists
4. Shipping phone only - Verify correct behavior when only shipping phone exists
5. Both phones - Verify billing phone takes priority
6. No phones - Verify graceful handling when no phone provided
7. Missing first name - Verify early return when required data missing
8. Processing status - Verify 'processing' status is supported
9. Refunded status - Verify 'refunded' status with refund amount calculation
10. Whitespace phone - Verify edge case handling
11. No undefined variable errors - All tests verify no PHP warnings occur

Key Test Strategy

Each test uses PHP error handling to capture any undefined variable warnings:

// Capture PHP errors/warnings
set_error_handler( function( $errno, $errstr ) use ( &$errors_caught ) {
    $errors_caught[] = $errstr;
    return true;
} );

// Run the code
$this->instance->process_wc_order_status_changed( $order_id, 'pending', 'processing' );

restore_error_handler();

// Verify no undefined variable errors occurred
foreach ( $errors_caught as $error ) {
    $this->assertStringNotContainsString( 'Undefined variable', $error );
    $this->assertStringNotContainsString( 'should_use_billing_info', $error );
}

Testing

To run these tests locally:

# Install dependencies (if not already installed)
composer install

# Run only this test file
composer run test-unit -- tests/Unit/WC_Facebookcommerce_Iframe_Whatsapp_Utility_Event_Test.php

# Or run all unit tests
composer run test-unit

Why These Tests Are Important

1. Verify the fix works - Confirms PR fix for unused variable #3776 fixed the undefined variable issue
2. Prevent regressions - Ensures future code changes do not break this logic
3. Document expected behavior - Tests serve as living documentation
4. Catch edge cases - Tests cover scenarios that might not be obvious (whitespace, missing data, etc.)

Developer Notes

Test Design Choices

Why mock WhatsAppExtension: The process_whatsapp_utility_message_event() method call might fail in test environment if WhatsApp extension is not available. The tests catch these exceptions and focus on verifying that the variable definition logic works correctly, which is the actual bug we are testing.

Why error handlers: Using custom error handlers allows us to detect and verify that NO undefined variable warnings are generated during code execution, which is exactly what issue #3841 was about.

Why comprehensive scenarios: Different phone number combinations could expose different code paths. Testing all combinations ensures the fix works in every situation.

Impact

No breaking changes - This PR only adds tests, no production code is modified.

Zero risk - Tests verify existing behavior that is already working correctly.

Future safety - Prevents accidental reintroduction of the bug.
