Testing Codeship.io

This short repository contains an example of a WebDriver test that runs in a running instance of Chrome on Codeship.io.

The test is in the test folder.

How to run the test locally

To run the test locally:

1. Clone the repo in some local folder: git clone https://github.com/tidoust/codeship.git
2. Install Composer if needed: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
3. Install PHP dependencies: composer install
4. Download ChromeDriver http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.9/
5. Run ChromeDriver in the background, the server should start listening on port 9515
6. Run the test: vendor/bin/phpunit

This should open up a Chrome instance that will load GitHub's home page and assert that the title is the right one.

How to run the test on Codeship

Create a new project associated with your cloned repository.

In Modify your Setup commands, enter:

# Set php version through phpenv. 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 available
phpenv local 5.4

# Install dependencies through Composer
composer install --prefer-source --no-interaction

# Run ChromeDriver
nohup bash -c "chromedriver 2>&1 &" && sleep 4; cat nohup.out

In Modify yout Test commands, enter:

vendor/bin/phpunit

That's it, Codeship will run the test accordingly.

Additional notes

• If you prefer to plan another Web browser, you'll have to download and start the standalone WebDriver server instead
• It would be wise not to hardcode the URL of the ChromeDriver server in each and every test and use a constant instead
• Similarly, it might be better to keep the webDriver variable around instead of launching Chrome for each and every test
