Phalcon CI Installer

Composer integration for PHP applications to install the Phalcon framework as an extension in the PHP runtime for various hosted CI services including CircleCI, Travis CI, Scrutinizer, Codeship, and Shippable.

Features

• Phalcon extension loaded in PHP runtime
• Native cache support to prevent rebuilding Phalcon from source
• Auto-detection of latest tagged Phalcon version
• Install specific Phalcon versions, tags and releases (Since 1.0.2)
• Supports PHP7 and Phalcon 3.0.x (Since 1.0.4)

Version Compatibility

The following table outlines general compability of Phalcon inside various CI environments.

PHP CI Version	Phalcon Version(s)	CI Environment
5.3	✖ (Not supported)	-
5.4	✖ (Not supported)	-
5.5	✔ master, 2.0.x, 3.0.x	✔ CircleCI, Travis CI, Scrutinizer, Codeship, Shippable
5.6	✔ master, 2.0.x, 3.0.x	✔ CircleCI, Travis CI, Scrutinizer, Codeship, Shippable
7.0	✔ 3.0.x	✔ CircleCI, Travis CI, Scrutinizer, Codeship, Shippable

Installation

1. Add the techpivot/phalcon-ci-installer repository into the require-dev section of your composer.json as follows:

  "require-dev": {
      "techpivot/phalcon-ci-installer": "~1.0"
  }

1. Update your CI script to execute the vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh installer in the relevant section. See the examples below for various CI providers.

Options

The installer takes one optional argument that can be used to specify a specific branch or tag.

Examples:

# Install latest version from default branch
vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh

# Install latest revision from branch "3.0.x"
vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh 3.0.x

# Install specific release tag "phalcon-v2.0.9"
vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh phalcon-v2.0.9

Note: The Phalcon CI installer is designed to cache the resulting binaries that correspond to the Phalcon/PHP version. Specifing a release or tagged version will result in the best performance as subsequent builds (depending on CI container/settings) will be cached. Building from a branch (including the default master option) will result in a Phalcon rebuild every time the installer detects a new version that is not yet cached.

CI Environments

CircleCI

circle.yml

machine:
  php:
    version: 5.6.14

dependencies:
  cache_directories:
    - vendor
    - ~/cphalcon

  post:
    - vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh phalcon-v2.0.13

test:
  override:
    - vendor/bin/phpunit

Note: In order to cache data for faster builds, ensure the cache_directories directives are specified as outlined above.

Note: Ensure that the vendor/bin/circleci-install-phalcon.sh is executed in the post phase, which will allow for the inclusion of the techpivot/phalcon-ci-installer repository during the composer installation at inference or override phase.

Travis CI

.travis.yml

language: php

php:
  - 5.5
  - 5.6
  - 7.0

cache:
  directories:
    - vendor
    - ~/.composer/cache
    - ~/cphalcon

before_install:
  - composer install --prefer-source --no-interaction
  - vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh 3.0.x

script:
  - vendor/bin/phpunit

notifications:
  email: false

Note: Multiple PHP versions can be specified and each one will be cached independently; however, the phalcon target ref (branch or tag) will be applied for all builds

Scrutinizer

.scrutinizer.yml

build:
    environment:
        php:
            version: 7.0.8

    cache:
        directories:
            - ~/cphalcon

    dependencies:
        override:
            - composer install --prefer-source --no-interaction
        after: 
            - vendor/bin/install-phalcon.sh 3.0.x

Note: No need to include the vendor/ cache directory as this is cached automatically.
