Getting CI up and running

[MorrisJobke]

This is moved over from the forums: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/having-a-ci-setup/223

Today we worked on a first setup of a minimal CI instance. The ansible scripts can be found at https://github.com/nextcloud/infrastructure/tree/master/ci

This instance runs at https://drone.weasel.rocks/nextcloud/server (link to the CI setup for the server, because there is no public overview page).

Now the task is to move from our previous setup to a dockerized one. I will soon open a PR in core to run the first tests (autotest.sh sqlite in our server repository) and then we can steadily extend this and play around with all the matrix stuff (multiple PHP versions, DBs, tests, ...).

A quick preview:

I used this docker file to generate the php-7-owncloud image:

FROM php:7
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libpng12-dev \
        git \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install gd zip \
    && docker-php-ext-enable gd zip
RUN curl -O -L https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar \
    && chmod +x phpunit.phar \
    && mv phpunit.phar /usr/local/bin/phpunit

And following .drone.yml that is placed in the server repository:

build:
  image: php-7-owncloud
  commands:
    - ./occ maintenance:install --database-name oc_autotest --database-user oc_autotest --admin-user admin --admin-pass admin --database sqlite --database-pass=''
    - ./autotest.sh sqlite

It currently fails due to a too low memory limit, but it is a nice start.

Interessting domain 😕 ...why not ci.nextcloud.com or something ...

why not ci.nextcloud.com or something ...

Because I'm not in charge of it. This is one of my domains and the server of @LukasReschke. We will use a server of the foundation (once it is there) and the proper domain once they are available (we are in bootstrapping process). For now we want something that executes tests automatically, so we went the fast lane ;)

Multiple different test runs could be accomplished by "multiple steps": http://readme.drone.io/usage/build_test/#multiple-steps:fb92aa3346185c57f15afda861d465a3

A first minimal version was merged with #17

This only runs autotest.sh sqlite on a PHP 7 5.6 (it is a Debian 8 with default PHP installed). Now we could extend the .drone.yml to also run more jobs.

This version of drone (0.4.2) can not run multiple steps of one PR in parallel, but the next drone release (0.5) will support this.

• basic tests: Add drone.io support #17
• JS unit tests: Add JS unit test execution #33
• integration tests: Add integration tests #94

Most of this is done. We will add the remaining stuff step by step.
