Which branch should be used?

[jpresley23]

The repository defaults to showing dev branch and it looks like that is the branch with active development. master hasn't been updated in a few years. Which branch do you recommend we install?

[johnpbloch]

dev is the recommended branch.

Thanks for the clarification. Should the installation instructions be updated?

Same question.

When accessing the repo via web interface, dev appears to be the default branch. On that branch, it says to depend on dev-master. But the usage instructions below are wrong for dev-master. As an example, WP_Mock::activateStrictMode() does not exist, and WP_Mock::userFunction() cannot be used for WP functions.
Also, unless feeling adventurous, developers should not depend on a branch, the head of which can change, and should depend on a version constraint, e.g. ^0.1.1. Otherwise, they risk suddenly one day not being able to run tests, because WP Mock can break BC unexpectedly. However, the instructions say to depend on dev-master...

If dev is the recommended branch shouldn't the readme reflect that?

composer require --dev 10up/wp_mock:dev-master

[lloc]

composer require --dev 10up/wp_mock:dev-master

seems not to install the expected branch. I had to use

composer require --dev 10up/wp_mock:dev-dev

instead.

Readme has been updated. We'll be eventually (I hope) moving to tagged releases in the near future to help further clarify things.
