PHPCI
=====
PHPCI is a free and open source continuous integration tool specifically designed for PHP. We've built it with simplicity in mind, so whilst it doesn't do *everything* Jenkins can do, it is a breeze to set up and use.
_**Please be aware that PHPCI is a beta-release project, so whilst it is very stable, there may be bugs and/or missing features.**_
**Current Build Status**
![Build Status](http://phpci.block8.net/build-status/image/2)
##What it does:
* Clones your project from Github, Bitbucket or a local path
* Allows you to set up and tear down test databases.
* Installs your project's Composer dependencies.
* Runs through any combination of the following plugins:
* PHP Unit
* PHP Mess Detector
* PHP Copy/Paste Detector
* PHP Code Sniffer
* PHP Spec
* Atoum
* You can mark directories for the plugins to ignore.
* You can mark certain plugins as being allowed to fail (but still run.)
##What it doesn't do (yet):
* Virtualised testing.
* Multiple PHP-version tests.
* Multiple testing workers.
* Install PEAR or PECL extensions.
* Deployments.
##Installing PHPCI:
####Pre-requisites:
* PHP 5.3.3+
* A web server. We prefer nginx.
* A MySQL server to connect to (doesn't have to be on the same server.)
* PHPCI needs to be able to run `exec()`, so make sure this is not disabled
* Php-openssl must be available.
####Installing from Github:
* Step 1: `git clone https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI.git`
* Step 2: `cd PHPCI`
* Step 3: `composer install`
* Step 4: `chmod +x ./console && ./console phpci:install`
* When prompted, enter your database host, username, password and the database name that PHPCI should use.
* The script will attempt to create the database if it does not exist already.
* If you intend to use the MySQL plugin to create / destroy databases, the user you entered above will need CREATE / DELETE permissions on the server.
* Add a virtual host to your web server, pointing to the directory "public" where you cloned PHPCI into.
* You'll need to set up rewrite rules to point all non-existant requests to PHPCI.
**Apache Example (require mod_rewrite installed)**:
```sh
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/to/phpci/public
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```
**Nginx Example**:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php
}
Finally, you'll want to set up PHPCI to run as a regular cronjob, so run `crontab -e` and enter the following:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/phpci/console phpci:run-builds
Obviously, make sure you change the `/path/to/phpci` to the directory in which you installed PHPCI, and update the PHP path if necessary.
##Adding support for PHPCI to your projects:
Similar to Travis CI, to support PHPCI in your project, you simply need to add a `phpci.yml` file to the root of your repository. The file should look something like this:
build_settings:
ignore:
- "vendor"
- "tests"
mysql:
host: "localhost"
user: "root"
pass: ""
campfire:
url: "https://youraccount.campfirenow.com"
authToken: "605b32dd"
roomId: "570102"
setup:
mysql:
- "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS test;"
- "CREATE DATABASE test;"
- "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON test.* TO test@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'test';"
composer:
action: "install"
test:
php_unit:
config:
- "PHPUnit-all.xml"
- "PHPUnit-ubuntu-fix.xml"
directory:
- "tests/"
run_from: "phpunit/"
php_mess_detector:
allow_failures: true
php_code_sniffer:
standard: "PSR2"
php_cpd:
allow_failures: true
grunt:
task: "build"
complete:
mysql:
- "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS test;"
failure:
campfire:
message: "Phpci : build %buildurl% failed."
As mentioned earlier, PHPCI is powered by plugins, there are several phases in which plugins can be run:
* `setup` - This phase is designed to initialise the build procedure.
* `test` - The tests that should be run during the build. Plugins run during this phase will contribute to the success or failure of the build.
* `complete` - Always called when the `test` phase completes, regardless of success or failure.
* `success` - Called upon success of the `test` phase.
* `failure` - Called upon the failure of the `test` phase.
The `ignore` section is merely an array of paths that should be ignored in all tests (where possible.)
