Continuous integration and testing with Drupal on AppVeyor

Continuous integration and testing with Drupal on AppVeyor

Difficulty: 
Piece of Cake

You can now easily test your Drupal projects on AppVeyor. Currently, AppVeyor is the major player in CI regarding Windows Servers. On other CI systems (Travis, Bitbucket pipelines) you are limited to Docker containers for the *nix platform. (This will soon change as some CI will throw Windows containers into the mix).

Until then, the only tool to CI your Drupal (or any PHP project) on a Windows based environment using IIS is AppVeyor.

In this post I'll show you how we setup free (because AppVeyor is free for open source/public projects) for the MS SQL Server driver for Drupal.

After opening a windows account, go the the + New Project menu.

AppVeyor automatically integrates with major code repository providers such as GitHub, BitBucket, Gitlab and Visual Studio Online. In our case, we will use the "raw" Git option, to connect to any Git repository (in this case the drupal.org one):

All the configuration for the project is done through an appveyor.yml file that you commit to the root of your repository. The reference for this file can be found here:

https://www.appveyor.com/docs/appveyor-yml/

In this file you configure the build script, services and any other behaviour required for your CI process.

We prepared a completely automated build and test script to download drupal, install it on a local IIS site and run the complete core test suite:

You can see the CI process here with build results:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/david-garcia-garcia/sqlsrv

If you host your projects in Bitbucket or GitLab AppVeyor has out of the box integrations that will update build statuses for pull requests, branches, commits, etc.

You can use the above testing script as a base template to implement CI and testing in your Windows based Drupal projects (private or public) against a MS SQL Server.

In order for Javascript based tests (full browser intergation tests) to work with the drupal test suite, you need to install and setup PhantomJs on your testing machine. Use these commands:

- cmd: choco install phantomjs
- ps: Start-Job -Name "test" -ScriptBlock {cmd /c "phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any --ignore-ssl-errors=true vendor/jcalderonzumba/gastonjs/src/Client/main.js 8510 1024 768 false 2>&1 >> c:\gastonjs.log"}
