wpcom-stats-redirect.user.js

WordPress.com is trying to push its new interfaces, including the new stats page. This user script forces a redirect to the classic dashboard stats page when the new stats page is visited.

This script is based on wpcom-edit-post-redirect.user.js.

Installation

If you don't already have one, install a browser extension that allows you to run user scripts. Then, install the script from Greasy Fork.

Tests

The tests are written with the Mocha testing framework and run in a Node.js environment.

Functions are stubbed using Sinon and assertions are made using Chai (TDD style).

Setting Up the Test Environment

1. Install Node.js
2. Run npm install in the root directory of this project

Running the Tests

To run the tests once, run npm run test.

To run the tests continuously while developing, run npm run test-dev.

Known Issues

• The new interface may start loading and appear before the redirect occurs
• The redirection will likely fail for Jetpack-enabled sites whose site root is different from their installation root
