Hey,
First of all let me say thank you very much for this, you have wrote it in the same time while I was searching and looking into the subject :D

Just a small note you need to carefully check the path for composer bin folder, on Ubuntu 16 with PHP7.0 it was
"/var/lib/jenkins/.composer/vendor/bin/" not "/var/lib/jenkins/.config/composer/vendor/bin"

[modess]

Hey! Good to know, I'll add it to the guide and also I'll add that I was using Ubuntu 14.04 :)

Hey Niklas,

Thanks so much for this guide.

I followed you to this page on how to configure Jenkins for Laravel.

But may i ask what you use as your 'src' directory? since Laravel has so many portions to modify e.g. Controllers, Blade Files and etc. Do i need to set the 'src' directory as '/' ?

Should CI be used to check even the vendor files?

Thanks again!

[modess]

Hey! Glad you enjoyed it. I used "src" as the directory since it's a general and often used folder to store classes in. It is often the case for packages or some frameworks. My old guide was specific to Laravel, but this one is a more general one for PHP applications/packages.

You do not want to include your blade files, or your vendor files. What you want to do for Laravel is use the folder "app" instead of "src", that should catch all of your relevant files unless you have changed the structure in your application. This is true for both Laravel 4 and Laravel 5.

Ah! I see.

I actually was not sure what needed to be included so I sym-linked certain folders into the src directory.

Why are blade files not syntax-checked? Is it possible to have them syntax checked as well?

[modess]

Blade files will not be able to be syntax checked by anything included in this guide. I'm not even sure if there is a linter for it, unfortunately :(

Nice post.

I'm wondering if you have some post or how-to for the deployment process of php projects using jenkins.
I'm trying to figure out how to achieve this in the right way..

Regards!

[modess]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have anything for that at the moment. I usually do not do continuous deployment, instead I have my continuous integration and deployment processes separate.

Thanks for reply. But how is your deployment process then? Manually or some sort of automated scripts.. I'm curious to learn the proper steps.
Regards

[modess]

It depends on the application and its requirements. But in most cases I use either Deployer (https://deployer.org/) "https://deployer.org/)"), Rocketeer (http://rocketeer.autopergam... "http://rocketeer.autopergamene.eu/)") or Capistrano (http://capistranorb.com/) "http://capistranorb.com/)") for automating my deploys. Manual steps in the deployment process is the root of all evil ;)

I've written a tutorial over at Tuts+ on how to deploy with Rocketeer if you want to check it out: https://code.tutsplus.com/a...

Thanks Niklas,

Well, yeah you are right, any manual step in a deployment process is a possible mistake/bug/issue, so in our company I'm trying to improve this stuff. Actually we have the CI server running for everything, so the next big step is the automated deployment, almost to staging or dev, anyway I'll take a look to your links.

Thanks for the info! ;)

Regards.

Great article. Have you ever considered Travis CI open source over Jenkins? Jenkins interface is kinda classic though. Plus can Jenkins work well with Gitlab CE? Thanks.

[modess]

TravisCI's hosted solution is a great service and it's free for open source projects. I have not tried it self hosted and it doesn't seem to be an easy way of setting things up, but maybe I've missed something.

Jenkins should have no problem with Gitlab CE, as long as it has access to the repository it should work just as well with it.

Would love more detail about the build itself, even without the specifics of the language or project. For example a generic template of a full cycle with as many or few aspects as desired. For example, within this example, Jenkins is just triggering a script or a build, but what does that build even do (everything), or with SOC in mind only one thing which then upon success triggers another thing? And does every step have to be a script or can it be an approval process?

I find that as my team moves into this direction and seeks to automate each aspect we need guidance going "towards" full automation. Perhaps we don't have automated user testing, and only when code is merged into core branch it triggers a manual process that once approved continues an automated deployment. From the outside looking in, no tutorial seems conclusive enough to setup the potential everyone raves about. Any help you can provide would be great, look forward to more post like this so thank you

[modess]

It would be very hard to cover all those aspects in a singe post unfortunately, and the purpose of this one was to give a general setup for PHP applications to get started with. I'm not sure that I know of any single complete resource on this, I think you'll have to just collect and put pieces together from tutorials around the web. Hopefully I'll write more on the topic.

There's an issue with the mayflower/php-codebrowser as it uses a version of symfony/console older than the one istalled: this causes an issue.
I overcome this by adding - { name: symfony/console, release: "~3.0" }

I faced another issue when creating a copy from the template: it is extremely slow to make the copy and also extremely slow to open the project configuration (5min and still not finished!). Any idea about this?

I even got an email alert from Linode: Your Linode, linodexxxx, has exceeded the notification threshold (90) for CPU Usage by averaging 94.6% for the last 2 hours

Thanks

[modess]

Seems like your server/instance isn't powerful enough. Jenkins is quite heavy on CPU and RAM, you might have to scale up a bit unfortunately.

Hey mate, following your post here and it's great.
However I'm having an issue that keeps trying to find a file called: build.xml inside the project folder.
Didn't seem that anyone there had this issue so far in the comments here.
Any ideas on that ?

[modess]

Hey! You need to follow the instructions under "Preparing your application" in the post. That is, copying the files from this repository into your application (instructions are in the repository): https://github.com/modess/p...

Hi Niklas,

First of all, I really appreciate you for putting up a resource like this. I'm a newbie to Jenkins CI and I found your tutorial here quite straightforward. Though, I encountered an error on the build from the sample github repo you used here (zend-expressive.).

here's the error log from the build:

<git blamer=""> GIT_COMMIT=c5d61a3960489b1f037ae7bf116ca499709a2f75, workspace=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/zend-expressive
[CHECKSTYLE] Collecting checkstyle analysis files...
[CHECKSTYLE] Searching for all files in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/zend-expressive that match the pattern build/logs/checkstyle.xml
[CHECKSTYLE] No files found. Configuration error?

Can you point out to me the issue here?

Regards,
Rodel

[modess]

Hey! I'm sorry but I can really help you with this. This probably has to do with some upgraded dependency etc that is causing issues. This tutorial is quite old :( I'm working on a new tool in helping with PHP + Jenkins that I'll release some time soon.

Dear Niklas,

Can we have video tutorial for this OR related video links like your tutorial ? It will very helpful to understand, I am fresher in Jenkins.

[modess]

Hello! That is a very interesting idea, I'll look into that.

Hi Niklas,
I was checking out this post, but when I try to go settings of the php-template or the one i create from it, it just dont do anything like it stops. Any idea why? That doesn't let me configure my git repo to poll.

I take off my hat Niklas,
Your detailed description explains step by step what's required to setup the Jenkins & PHP in a way I have not seen before. Thanks for taking the time to write this article.

I got a Laravel 5.6 development environment that's combined with VueJS, and I use Mix to generate the project for the JS side, do you know if that presents any additional complication or is Jenkins going to take that as one more dependency?

Thanks in advance,
Joseph.

[modess]

Thanks!

Jenkins won't care about your frontend setup unless you want it to. This tutorial only focuses on the backend part of it, but there are many tools available for doing CI for the frontend also.

But the short answer is: no, Jenkins won't mind :)

Hi Modess,
I'm trying this on Windows 10 machine and all the tools are already installed but I'm getting the following error.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\zend-expressive\build.xml:67: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "composer" (in directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\zend-expressive"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Can you help me what could be the problem?
