Sergey Biryukov 1f506d3211 Build/Test Tools: Remove magic methods from WP_UnitTestCase_Base (without a backward compatibility break).
These magic methods were introduced to prevent a backward compatibility break, but in actual fact:

1. ''Caused'' a backward compatibility break. The original `$factory` property was a `static` property and this declared property was replaced by the magic methods. Unfortunately, it was not realized at the time that these magic methods **''are not called for static property access''**.[[BR]][[BR]]
 > Property overloading only works in object context. These magic methods will not be triggered in static context.
 And as approaching a static property in a non-static manner is [https://3v4l.org/93HQL not supported in PHP], this effectively created a backward compatibility break instead of preventing it.

2. Were hiding errors in tests, as the magic methods would be invoked for non-existent properties and would return `null` (get) or `false` (isset). See [54040], [54041], and [54077] for bug fixes related to this.

3. Are problematic in relation to PHP 8.2, as the implementation is incomplete, does not protect against dynamic properties and hides PHP notices about undefined properties.

Now, there were several options to mitigate this:

1. Revert the original commit. This would be problematic, as the ''non-static'' version of these properties has now been supported for 7 years, so this would create a new backward compatibility break.

2. Improve the magic methods. With all the issues with magic methods (see the discussion in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE livestream from August 16, 2022], this would probably cause more problems than it’s worth and would make for a much more complex implementation, which is over the top for this relatively simple functionality, especially in the context of a test suite.

3. Remove the magic methods without adding the property. This would again cause a backward compatibility break, though one for which the mitigation solution would be relatively straightforward, i.e. to replace property access using `$this->factory` with a function call `$this->factory()` (or `self::factory()`, as the method is declared as static).    While we can (and have in a subsequent commit) mitigate this for the WP Core test suite, mitigating this for plugin or theme integration tests is outside of our purview and they would still need to deal with this backward compatibility break.

4. The current solution: removing the magic methods, explicitly declaring the (non-static) property and setting it in the `set_up()` method. This does not constitute a backward compatibility break with the functionality as it was over the past 7 years. Setting the property in `set_up()` may be “late”, but that is the earliest place in which the property can be set as non-static. If the factory would be needed prior to `set_up()`, the (static) `WP_UnitTestCase_Base::factory()` method should be called directly. This is no different from how this functionality behaved over the past 7 years.

Note: The property is straight away marked as “deprecated”, since the method should be favored over the use of the property.

<h2>First Things First</h2>
<p>Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I am proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we are dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.</p>

<h2>Installation: Famous 5-minute install</h2>
<ol>
	<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload everything.</li>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with your database connection details.
		<ol>
			<li>If for some reason this does not work, do not worry. It may not work on all web hosts. Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.</li>
			<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
			<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser.</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for your site. If there is an error, double check your <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">WordPress support forums</a> with as much data as you can gather.</li>
	<li><strong>If you did not enter a password, note the password given to you.</strong> If you did not provide a username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
	<li>The installer should then send you to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated for you, you can then click on &#8220;Profile&#8221; to change the password.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Updating</h2>
<h3>Using the Automatic Updater</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/update-core.php">wp-admin/update-core.php</a></span> in your browser and follow the instructions.</li>
	<li>You wanted more, perhaps? That&#8217;s it!</li>
</ol>

<h3>Updating Manually</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Before you update anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as <code>index.php</code>.</li>
	<li>Delete your old WordPress files, saving ones you&#8217;ve modified.</li>
	<li>Upload the new files.</li>
	<li>Point your browser to <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/upgrade.php">/wp-admin/upgrade.php</a>.</span></li>
</ol>
