A PHP test and build pipeline automates code checkout, compilation, unit testing, and result logging to reduce manual work and help developers identify and resolve issues faster.
Step 1: Create a test and build pipeline
-
Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DevOps console and click Create Pipeline in the upper-right corner.
-
On the Select a pipeline template page, select PHP · Build, deploy to Alibaba Cloud ECS/self-hosted server, and then click Create.
Step 2: Configure the pipeline source
-
In the Pipeline Source stage, click Add Pipeline Source.
-
Select Sample Code Source. For Code Type, select PHP, and then click Add.
Step 3: Configure testing and build
In the Test stage, select a build cluster and build environment to run build jobs.
-
Configure the basic parameters.
Parameter
Description
Job Name
Enter a custom name for the job, or use the default.
Build Cluster
The following build clusters are supported:
Build Environment
The following build environments are supported:
-
Specify Container Environment (for Alibaba Cloud DevOps default build cluster): Flow starts a specified container on the build machine and performs the build in that single-container environment. Alibaba Cloud DevOps provides a list of official images. You can also specify your own image as the runtime environment.
-
Default VM Environment (supported only for private build clusters): You must select Specify Build Nodes. Flow installs the environment and runs the job directly on the build machine. To speed up the job, we recommend installing the required SDKs and environment on the build machine in advance.
-
Default Environment (for Alibaba Cloud DevOps default/private build cluster): Flow uses different default container images based on the job type. These images come pre-installed with the necessary SDKs and environments and cannot be modified. (Deprecated)
NoteDuring job execution, you have full control over the build environment and the job execution script.

Path to the test report file. The directory containing this file is uploaded. Example: report/index.html.
Testing tool
The testing tool or framework. Select Php-UnitTest.
Stop pipeline on test failure
If enabled, the pipeline stops when a unit test fails. Default: Enabled.
PHP build
In the PHP Build stage, select a build environment based on the selected build cluster to run the build job.
-
Configure build environment parameters and related commands.
Parameter
Description
Container image address
Provide the full image address, for example, build-steps-public-registry.<region_ID>.cr.aliyuncs.com/build-steps/alinux3:latest. This parameter is required only for the Specify container environment option.
Use private image repository
Add a service connection. For more information, see Manage service connections. Required only for the Specify container environment option.
Download pipeline source
When enabled, the pipeline downloads your configured source files to the working directory.
Execute commands
The default command for PHP is
php --version. -
In the Upload Artifact task step, configure the Upload Method and related parameters.
Select an upload method and configure its parameters.
Private generic artifact repository
Parameters:
Parameter
Description
Add Service Connection
Click Add Service Connection and follow the prompts to create a service connection from Flow to Packages. For more information, see Manage service connections.
Repository
After you add the service connection, you can select a Generic Artifacts repository in Packages as the target repository.
NoteFor more information about Generic Artifacts repositories, see Manage generic artifacts.
Artifact Name
Distinguishes artifacts from different builds and is used by deployment components. We recommend using dynamic variables. The default is
Artifacts_${PIPELINE_ID}. You can specify a custom name such astarget1.Artifact Version
The version uniquely identifies your artifact. Duplicate versions of the same artifact cannot be pushed. We recommend using a dynamic variable such as
${DATETIME}.Packaging Path
Specify the relative path to the project's root directory, such as
target/. You can specify multiple paths.Include packaging path in artifact
If this option is selected, the generated archive includes the full packaging path. Otherwise, it only includes the files. If you specify multiple paths for Packaging Path, this option is automatically enabled
.Public storage

Default environment
Unit testing
In a , click Add Step, select , and configure the task parameters.
Parameter
Description
Step name
A custom name for the step.
PHP version
Select a pre-installed PHP version based on your requirements.
Test command
Set the PHP unit test command based on your requirements.
Report relative path
Set the relative path for the output report based on your requirements.
Redline rule
Set conditions to determine whether the task succeeds or fails.
Example configuration: Set PHP Version to
8.1. For Test Command, runcomposer installand thenphpunit --testdox-html index.html. Set Report Relative Path toindex.html. For Redline Rule, set the test pass rate to be greater than100.PHP build
By default, pipelines created from this template use the specified container environment. Switching to the Default Environment invalidates the existing task steps. You must clear the configuration and re-add the steps.

Host deployment
In the Host Deployment stage, deploy the artifact from the PHP build stage to hosts in a host group. For more information, see Host deployment.
Set Host group to
go-test-env, Download path to/home/admin/app/package.tgz, and Execution user toroot. In the deployment script, add the decompression commandtar zxvf /home/admin/app/package.tgz -C /home/admin. -
Step 4: Run and view the pipeline job
-
After configuring the pipeline, click Save and Run in the upper-right corner. In the dialog box that opens, click Run to start the pipeline.
-
After the pipeline job is complete, click Logs at the bottom right of the job node to view the execution logs. A successful pipeline run completes three stages: PHP unit test (5 of 5 test cases passed, 100% pass rate), PHP build (generates the build artifact), and Host deployment. The total runtime is about 1 minute and 41 seconds.
-
If you uploaded the artifact to an organization's private generic artifact repository, you can view the uploaded artifact in the corresponding repository in Packages. For more information, see Manage generic artifacts.
