Test Apps for Laravel

Steps to add a new version for Nosetests (example for Laravel 8)

1. Find out the earliest supported PHP version for Laravel 8: 7.3.0
2. docker run -it php:7.3 bash
3. Then inside docker:
   • curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   • mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
   • apt update && apt install git zip unzip
   • composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel 8
   • <log out of docker>
4. docker cp \<docker-id\>:/8 .
5. We need to edit this folder in order to fit in nosetest, here is the list of files. Can refer to the 8 folder in master branch
   1. Added app/Http/Controllers/TestControllers.php (There are 2 functions for nosetest, nosetest() & nosetestError(). They are testing event + listeners, database, cache & exceptions
   2. Added app/Listeners/NosetestQueuedListener.php
   3. Added app/Listeners/NosetestSyncedListener.php
   4. Updated app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php to listen NoseEvent
   5. Added app/Models/Nosetest.php for database object
   6. Added app/Events/NoseEvent.php for event object
   7. Updated bootstrap/cache into symbolic link because Jenkins doesn't have admin right in nosetest runtime
   8. Added database/migrations/2020_10_21_212030_create_nosetest_table.php to create the database and table in sqlite
   9. Updated routes/web.php for /nosetest & /nosetesterror routing
   10. Updated storage/framework/views into symbolic link because Jenkins doesn't have admin right in nosetest runtime
   11. Added terminate function to vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Http/Middleware/TrustProxies.php for nosetest [This path can be different from newer laravel version]
   12. Updated .env for Jenkins environment
6. Create database and table file by touch 8/database/database.sqlite
7. Create database and table from the migrations files by cd 8 && php artisan migrate
8. Make sure all files are committed by editing .gitignore files in all folder

Tips: Use php artisan serve to test the laravel app step by step first and customize the environment setting for Jenkins
