PHP Fatal error on CI/CD run php artisan test - laravel

Question

I use docker-compose with laravel and postgresql and all works fine in local system. The problem is in the CI/CD.
I have changed the CI/CD yml file over and over but I am stuck!

There are line comments, I tried using these but I couldn't run a test successfully.

With this file, I get an error:
Run cd companyname_app_dir && php artisan test
PHP Warning: require(/home/runner/work/companyname_app/companyname_app /companyname_app_dir/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/runner/work/companyname_app/companyname_app/companyname_app_dir/artisan on line 18
PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/runner/work/companyname_app/companyname_app/companyname_app_dir/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/runner/work/companyname_app/companyname_app/companyname_app_dir/artisan on line 18
Error: Process completed with exit code 255.
if I use:
- name: Run composer install
run: cd companyname_app_dir && composer install
- name: Run composer update
run: cd companyname_app_dir && composer update
In CI/CD yml and remove Run Containers part, composer install and update successfully, but php artisan test throws this error:
postgresql can not connect

Answer 1

You must use composer install, else you will have no vendor folder at all, so you have nothing to run. That is why you are getting an error if you don't run composer install
You should not run composer update, because you are updating packages to new versions, you never do that in production, you just run composer install --no-dev
You are mixing running docker with a command OUTSIDE the docker container.
Related to point 3., if you are using docker-compose, you cannot execute:
- name: Run test
run: cd companyname_app_dir && php artisan test
env:
APP_KEY: base64:x06N/IsV5iJ+R6TKlr6sC6Mr4riGgl8Rg09XHHnRZQw=
APP_ENV: testing
DB_CONNECTION: companyname-postgres
DB_DATABASE: db_test
DB_USERNAME: root
DB_PASSWORD: 1234
Because you are outside docker, so you should execute docker-compose exec companyname_app php artisan test, that will execute the tests INSIDE the docker container, where you correctly have everything setup.
So your code (if I am not missing anything) should be:
- name: Run test
run: docker-compose exec companyname_app php artisan test
env:
APP_KEY: base64:x06N/IsV5iJ+R6TKlr6sC6Mr4riGgl8Rg09XHHnRZQw=
APP_ENV: testing
DB_CONNECTION: companyname-postgres
DB_DATABASE: db_test
DB_USERNAME: root
DB_PASSWORD: 1234
But I am not certaing what will you get back from that execution, I have no idea if the test fails, if the CI/CD (I am assuming you are using GitHub Actions or Bitbucket Pipelines), will truly identify that it has failed or not.
What I usually do, is just install everything on the machine (CI/CD machine), instead of using a docker file or docker-compose yaml. But that is my preference (at least for PHP/Laravel)
