Description

Our first Jenkins runner (gallium) had PHPUnit installed using pear. We then upgraded it from time to time using the pear command.

This has at least two issues:

we blindly install from a third party repository
the update has to be done manually on each slave (currently two: gallium and lanthanum).

We would need to streamline PHPUnit upgrade process. Either by having it provided by a Debian package or using git-deploy.

Culprits:

This prevents us from running PHPUnit jobs on any slaves (bug 53594)

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to High.Nov 22 2014, 2:25 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz54762.

Got to find a solution with ops. Not sure how to do it though.

So pear basically sucks which is not a breaking news. I instead relied on composer.

The git repository integration/phpunit hold a snapshot of PHPUnit has installed via composer. Related changes:

The MediaWiki core PHPUnit wrapper can be pointed to it using --with-phpunitdir.

php phpunit.php --with-phpunitdir /contint-phpunit/vendor/phpunit/phpunit

Will attempt to integrate that with the deployment system.

Change 92510 had a related patch set uploaded by Hashar:
deployment: integration/phpunit for Jenkins CI slaves

Change 92510 merged by Akosiaris:
deployment: integration/phpunit for Jenkins CI slaves

Now using the deployment system!!!!!!!

So we get deployment now :-]

Still have to update our jobs / macro / shell script, which is now bug 56317.

Same as been done for php code sniffer using integration/phpcs.git
