Composer Puppet Module

Description

The puppet-composer module installs the latest version of Composer from http://getcomposer.org. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP.

Supported Platforms

• Debian
• Redhat
• Centos
• Amazon Linux

Installation

Puppet Forge

We recommend installing using the Puppet Forge as it automatically satisfies dependencies.

puppet module install --target-dir=/your/path/to/modules tPl0ch-composer

Installation via git submodule

You can also install as a git submodule and handle the dependencies manually. See the Dependencies section below.

git submodule add git://github.com/tPl0ch/puppet-composer.git modules/composer

Dependencies

This module requires the following Puppet modules:

• puppetlabs-git

And additional (for puppet version lower than 3.0.0) you need:

• libaugeas (For automatically updating php.ini settings for suhosin patch)

Usage

To install the composer binary globally in /usr/local/bin you only need to declare the composer class. We try to set some sane defaults. There are also a number of parameters you can tweak should the defaults not be sufficient.

Simple Include

To install the binary with the defaults you just need to include the following in your manifests:

include composer

Full Include

Alternatively, you can set a number of options by declaring the class with parameters:

class { 'composer':
    target_dir      => '/usr/local/bin',
    composer_file   => 'composer', # could also be 'composer.phar'
    download_method => 'curl',     # or 'wget'
    logoutput       => false,
    tmp_path        => '/tmp',
    php_package     => 'php5-cli',
    curl_package    => 'curl',
    wget_package    => 'wget',
    composer_home   => '/root',
    php_bin         => 'php', # could also i.e. be 'php -d "apc.enable_cli=0"' for more fine grained control
    suhosin_enabled => true,
}

Creating Projects

The composer::project definition provides a way to create projects in a target directory.

composer::project { 'silex':
    project_name   => 'fabpot/silex-skeleton',  # REQUIRED
    target_dir     => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
    version        => '2.1.x-dev', # Some valid version string
    prefer_source  => true,
    stability      => 'dev', # Minimum stability setting
    keep_vcs       => false, # Keep the VCS information
    dev            => true, # Install dev dependencies
    repository_url => 'http://repo.example.com', # Custom repository URL
    user           => undef, # Set the user to run as
}

Updating Packages

The composer::exec definition provides a more generic wrapper arround composer update and install commands. The following example will update the silex/silex and symfony/browser-kit packages in the /vagrant/silex directory. You can omit packages to update the entire project.

composer::exec { 'silex-update':
    cmd                  => 'update',  # REQUIRED
    cwd                  => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
    packages             => ['silex/silex', 'symfony/browser-kit'], # leave empty or omit to update whole project
    prefer_source        => false, # Only one of prefer_source or prefer_dist can be true
    prefer_dist          => false, # Only one of prefer_source or prefer_dist can be true
    dry_run              => false, # Just simulate actions
    custom_installers    => false, # No custom installers
    scripts              => false, # No script execution
    interaction          => false, # No interactive questions
    optimize             => false, # Optimize autoloader
    dev                  => false, # Install dev dependencies
    user                 => undef, # Set the user to run as
    refreshonly          => false, # Only run on refresh
}

Installing Packages

We support the install command in addition to update. The install command will ignore the packages parameter and the following example is the equivalent to running composer install in the /vagrant/silex directory.

composer::exec { 'silex-install':
    cmd                  => 'install',  # REQUIRED
    cwd                  => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
    prefer_source        => false,
    prefer_dist          => false,
    dry_run              => false, # Just simulate actions
    custom_installers    => false, # No custom installers
    scripts              => false, # No script execution
    interaction          => false, # No interactive questions
    optimize             => false, # Optimize autoloader
    dev                  => false, # Install dev dependencies
}

Development

We have rspec-puppet and Travis CI setup for the project. To run the spec tests locally you need bundler installed:

gem install bundler

Then you can install the required gems:

bundle install

Finally, the tests can be run:

rake spec
