 * I’m using wp-cli scaffold plugin-tests, and I notice that test-sample.php does
   not pass the WordPress phpcs rules.
 * Am I supposed to ignore the PHPUnit conventions in test-sample.php and follow
   WP standards instead when I write my own tests?
 * Or is phpcs not intended to apply to tests – is there an official preferred approach?

 * Disregard, I had an old version of wp-cli.
