Ansible Role - PHP PEAR library installation

Ansible Role: PHP PEAR packages

Installs PHP PEAR packages on servers with PHP and php-pear already installed.

Requirements

PHP and php-pear (or the equivalent) must already be installed on the server, so the pear command can be run.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

php_pear_channels:
  - pear.phing.info

(Defaults to empty list ([]).) The PEAR channels that should be discovered so pear libraries can be installed. By default, PEAR is not configured to autodiscover channels for libraries you would like installed, so you need to explicitly list all the libraries' channels here.

php_pear_libraries:
  - phing

(Defaults to empty list ([]).) The libraries/extensions you would like installed via PEAR.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php

Example Playbook

---
- hosts: webservers

  vars_files:
    - vars/main.yml

  roles:
    - geerlingguy.php-pear

Inside vars/main.yml:

php_pear_channels:
  - pear.phpunit.de

php_pear_libraries:
  - phpunit/PHPUnit

TODO

• Continue refining the changed/failed conditions for PEAR. Yuck.

ansible-role-php-pear's Issues

Failure to detect error when compiling an extension

When pecl install tries to compile the installed extension, failure is not properly detected.

This can be fixed with failed_when: "pecl_result.stderr or ('ERROR' in pecl_result.stdout).

pear install --alldeps

Some packages have dependencies which pear by default doesn't seem to install. Is there an easy way to add the --alldeps parameter as an option?

Thanks!

Failure when ```pecl install``` prompt user inputs

When installing a PECL extension, pecl install prompt user inputs. This freeze Ansible because there is no way for the user to enter the input.

This can be fixed by running pecl install with
shell: echo "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" | pecl install {{ item }}.
