To overcome this we will be using the +official [PHP docker image][php-hub] that can be found in Docker Hub. + +This will allow us to test PHP projects against different versions of PHP. +However, not everything is plug 'n' play, you still need to onfigure some +things manually. + +As with every build, you need to create a valid `.gitlab-ci.yml` describing the +build environment. + +Let's first specify the PHP image that will be used for the build process +(you can read more about what an image means in the Runner's lingo reading +about [Using Docker images](../docker/using_docker_images.md#what-is-image)). + +Start by adding the image to your `.gitlab-ci.yml`: + +```yaml +image: php:5.6 +``` + +The official images are great, but they lack a few useful tools for testing. +We need to first prepare the build environment. A way to overcome this is to +create a script which installs all prerequisites prior the actual testing is +done. + +Let's create a `ci/docker_install.sh` file in the root directory of our +repository with the following content: + +```bash +#!/bin/bash + +# We need to install dependencies only for Docker +[[ ! -e /.dockerinit ]] && exit 0 + +set -xe + +# Install git (the php image doesn't have it) which is required by composer +apt-get update -yqq +apt-get install git -yqq + +# Install phpunit, the tool that we will use for testing +curl -o /usr/local/bin/phpunit https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar +chmod +x /usr/local/bin/phpunit + +# Install mysql driver +# Here you can install any other extension that you need +docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql +``` + +You might wonder what `docker-php-ext-install` is. In short, it is a script +provided by the official php docker image that you can use to easilly install +extensions. For more information read the the documentation at +<https://hub.docker.com/_/php/>. + +Now that we created the script that contains all prerequisites for our build +environment, let's add it in `.gitlab-ci.yml`: + +```yaml +... + +before_script: +- bash ci/docker_install.sh > /dev/null + +... +``` + +Last step, run the actual tests using `phpunit`: + +```yaml +... + +test:app: + script: + - phpunit --configuration phpunit_myapp.xml + +... +``` + +Finally, commit your files and push them to GitLab to see your build succeeding +(or failing). + +The final `.gitlab-ci.yml` should look similar to this: + +```yaml +# Select image from https://hub.docker.com/_/php/ +image: php:5.6 + +before_script: +# Install dependencies +- ci/docker_install.sh > /dev/null + +test:app: + script: + - phpunit --configuration phpunit_myapp.xml +``` + +### Test against different PHP versions in Docker builds + +Testing against multiple versions of PHP is super easy. Just add another job +with a different docker image version and the runner will do the rest: + +```yaml +before_script: +# Install dependencies +- ci/docker_install.sh > /dev/null + +# We test PHP5.6 +test:5.6: + image: php:5.6 + script: + - phpunit --configuration phpunit_myapp.xml + +# We test PHP7.0 (good luck with that) +test:7.0: + image: php:7.0 + script: + - phpunit --configuration phpunit_myapp.xml +``` + +### Custom PHP configuration in Docker builds + +There are times where you will need to customise your PHP environment by +putting your `.ini` file into `/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/`. For that purpose +add a `before_script` action: + +```yaml +before_script: +- cp my_php.ini /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/test.ini +``` + +Of course, `my_php.ini` must be present in the root directory of your repository. + +## Test PHP projects using the Shell executor + +The shell executor runs your builds in a terminal session on your server. +Thus, in order to test your projects you first need to make sure that all +dependencies are installed. + +For example, in a VM running Debian 8 we first update the cache, then we +install `phpunit` and `php5-mysql`: + +```bash +sudo apt-get update -y +sudo apt-get install -y phpunit php5-mysql +``` + +Next, add the following snippet to your `.gitlab-ci.yml`: + +```yaml +test:app: + script: + - phpunit --configuration phpunit_myapp.xml +``` + +Finally, push to GitLab and let the tests begin! + +### Test against different PHP versions in Shell builds + +The [phpenv][] project allows you to easily manage different versions of PHP +each with its own config. This is specially usefull when testing PHP projects +with the Shell executor. + +You will have to install it on your build machine under the `gitlab-runner` +user following [the upstream installation guide][phpenv-installation]. + +Using phpenv also allows to easily configure the PHP environment with: + +``` +phpenv config-add my_config.ini +``` + +*__Important note:__ It seems `phpenv/phpenv` + [is abandoned](https://github.com/phpenv/phpenv/issues/57). There is a fork + at [madumlao/phpenv](https://github.com/madumlao/phpenv) that tries to bring + the project back to life. [CHH/phpenv](https://github.com/CHH/phpenv) also + seems like a good alternative. Picking any of the mentioned tools will work + with the basic phpenv commands. Guiding you to choose the right phpenv is out + of the scope of this tutorial.* + +### Install custom extensions + +Since this is a pretty bare installation of the PHP environment, you may need +some extensions that are not currently present on the build machine. + +To install additional extensions simply execute: + +```bash +pecl install <extension> +``` + +It's not advised to add this to `.gitlab-ci.yml`. You should execute this +command once, only to setup the build environment. + +## Extend your tests + +### Using atoum + +Instead of PHPUnit, you can use any other tool to run unit tests. For example +you can use [atoum](https://github.com/atoum/atoum): + +```yaml +before_script: +- wget http://downloads.atoum.org/nightly/mageekguy.atoum.phar + +test:atoum: + script: + - php mageekguy.atoum.phar +``` + +### Using Composer + +The majority of the PHP projects use Composer for managing their PHP packages. +In order to execute Composer before running your tests, simply add the +following in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`: + +```yaml +... + +# Composer stores all downloaded packages in the vendor/ directory. +# Do not use the following if the vendor/ directory is commited to +# your git repository. +cache: + paths: + - vendor/ + +before_script: +# Install composer dependencies +- curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php +- php composer.phar install + +... +``` + +## Access private packages / dependencies + +If your test suite needs to access a private repository, you need to configure +[the SSH keys](../ssh_keys/README.md) in order to be able to clone it. + +## Use databases or other services + +Most of the time you will need a running database in order for your tests to +run. If you are using the Docker executor you can leverage Docker's ability to +link to other containers. In GitLab Runner lingo, this can be achieved by +defining a `service`. + +This functionality is covered in [the CI services](../services/README.md) +documentation. + +## Testing things locally + +With GitLab Runner 1.0 you can also test any changes locally. From your +terminal execute: + +```bash +# Check using docker executor +gitlab-runner exec docker test:app + +# Check using shell executor +gitlab-runner exec shell test:app +``` + +## Example project + +We have set up an [Example PHP Project][php-example-repo] for your convenience +that runs on [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) using our publicly available +[shared runners](../runners/README.md). + +Want to hack on it? Simply fork it, commit and push your changes. Within a few +moments the changes will be picked by a public runner and the build will begin. + +[php-hub]: https://hub.docker.com/_/php/ +[phpenv]: https://github.com/phpenv/phpenv +[phpenv-installation]: https://github.com/phpenv/phpenv#installation +[php-example-repo]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/php |
