Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65819

What

Adds unit test coverage for the wp_meta() template function in tests/phpunit/tests/general/wpMeta.php.

Why

wp_meta() is a standard sidebar template tag that triggers the wp_meta action hook, allowing plugins to insert sidebar elements. It lacked direct unit test coverage and a dedicated @covers tag.

How

• Verify that wp_meta() triggers the wp_meta action hook.
• Verify that content echoed by hooked callbacks is output as expected using expectOutputString().

Testing Instructions

Run the test suite and coding standards check:

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter Tests_General_WpMeta
vendor/bin/phpunit -c tests/phpunit/multisite.xml --filter Tests_General_WpMeta
vendor/bin/phpcs tests/phpunit/tests/general/wpMeta.php

All tests pass cleanly.

Thanks! Nice coverage for wp_meta(). LGTM.

AI Review: Opus 5.5

[lancewillett]

Please omit this standalone wrapper test. wp_meta() only calls do_action( 'wp_meta' ); the new mock count and callback output repeat hook dispatch behavior already exercised by Tests_Actions::test_simple_action() and the action callback tests. There is no additional formatting or branching in this wrapper. Direct coverage of this one-line delegate does not justify another fixture-backed test; no replacement test is requested.

[lancewillett]

Thanks for contributing this. Closing this PR because wp_meta() only dispatches its hook; the action framework already has stronger dispatch coverage. The added callback output does not exercise behavior owned by this wrapper. Removing that standalone check leaves no useful remaining change, so no replacement test is needed.
