什么是PHP CI构建路径

Question

I've successfully installed PHPCI on my local server, setup a project, and run my first build.

Even without a phpci.yml, PHP CI seems to detect my Codeception tests (yay!)

However, the build log contains the following text

Exception: Warning: file_get_contents(/tests/_output/report.tap.log): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/to/Sites/php-ci/phpci/PHPCI/Plugin/Codeception.php line 94 PLUGIN: FAILED

When I take a look at line 94, I see the following

$tapString = file_get_contents(
    $this->phpci->buildPath . $this->logPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'report.tap.log'
);

PHPCI seems to be building a path with the $this->phpci->buildPath.

What is this path? Is it the PHP CI path? The path of my repository? A third working area that can be anywhere?

Where in PHP CI do I set this path? Per project in the phpci.yml? Somewhere in the admin?

Answer 1

I've found your question on my search for answers regarding PHPCI.

I don't know if you still need your answer, but I'll post it for anyone else who's wondering.

To answer your questions:

• "What is this path?" It's a uniquely generated path for each build.
• "Is it the PHP CI path?" No
• "The path of my repository?" No
• "A third working area that can be anywhere?" Not exactly anywhere, but yes.

"Where in PHP CI do I set this path?"
Well, to answer that I dug deeper into their source code and I found, that the original path is set up by the following PHP Code:

 $buildDirectory = $this->getId() . '_' . substr(md5(microtime(true)), 0, 5);
 $this->currentBuildPath = PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR . $buildDirectory . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

The generated path would therefore be the builds' ID and a (more or less) unique part. Important here is the defined constant PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR which is defined in the file vars.php in your installation directory:

// Define PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR
if (!defined('PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR')) {
    define('PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR', PHPCI_DIR . 'PHPCI/build/');
}

So the directory would by default be a temporary folder called
path/to/phpci/PHPCI/build/4_31370/

This folder will of course be deleted again, as soon as the build is finished.

I've then changed the definition of the folder to
define('PHPCI_BUILD_ROOT_DIR', PHPCI_DIR . 'tempbuilddir/');
which gives me the following build temporary build directory:
path/to/phpci/tempbuilddir/6_65873/

So this directory is completely customizable.

Nevertheless the Codeception plugin seems to have changed since your version, as the filename report.tap.log doesn't appear to be in the source code anymore.

I hope this answer gave you an understanding of the PHPCI build directory configuration. It certainly helped me to find this out.
