Continuous Integration and Development with Laravel

Question

I'm new to Laravel, currently working on my first project. I have worked with CI before but never with Laravel. So, here's my deploy script for our Dev server. Not sure if this is the best approach. Anyway, the migrate part is giving me an error. After I get this to work I will try some php plugins to analyze code quality, duplication, unit tests, etc.

Please, see below

Script:

rsync -a . /var/www/html/dev/

cd /var/www/html/dev/

# cfg file for dev
cp .env.dev .env

# run composer
composer clearcache
composer install --optimize-autoloader

# optimize
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan optimize
php artisan route:cache | true 

# migrate DB
php artisan migrate

Error:

[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]                                         
  SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists:

Am I supposed to delete all my tables before doing the migration? If so, I don't see what's the useful part of using them for auto deployment. Besides, we have our tables filled with data for testing (manually filled as we don't want to auto seed).

Answer 1

You shouldn't delete all your tables before run migration.

This error come from your migrations table and your migrations at database\\migrations folder have conflict.

You should resolve this conflict before return to continue configure Jenkins.

My suggestion:

You should use Rocketeer for control release versions of your projects.

You can share your .env file by shared folder.

You can run composer install and npm install by default configure of Rocketeer.

Here is my steps install and configure Rocketeer:

Install Rocketeer:

$ wget http://rocketeer.autopergamene.eu/versions/rocketeer.phar
$ chmod +x rocketeer.phar
$ mv rocketeer.phar /usr/local/bin/rocketeer
//TODO Install PHP for Jenkins server
$ sudo apt-get install php
//TODO Check rocketeer
$ rocketeer check

develop/0 | Ignite (Creates Rocketeer's configuration)
What is your application's name ? (drone-php)drone_deploy
The Rocketeer configuration was created at server-dev/.rocketeer

Configure

$ cd /var/lib/jenkins/drone-deploy/drone-deploy/drone-php
$ nano .rocketeer/config.php
Replace connections name production --> develop //It's Rocketeer bug
$ nano .rocketeer/remote.php
'root_directory' => '/var/www/html/',
'shared'         => [
        'storage/logs',
        'storage/framework/sessions',
        '.env',
    ],
'permissions'    => [

        // The folders and files to set as web writable
        'files'    => [
            //'app/database/production.sqlite',
            'bootstrap',
            'storage',
            'public',
        ],

        // Here you can configure what actions will be executed to set
        // permissions on the folder above. The Closure can return
        // a single command as a string or an array of commands
        'callback' => function ($task, $file) {
            return [
                sprintf('chmod -R 777 %s', $file),
                sprintf('chmod -R g+s %s', $file),
                sprintf('chown -R ec2-user:ec2-user %s', $file),
            ];
        },

    ],
$ nano .rocketeer/strategies.php
    //'test'         => 'Phpunit',
    'test'         => '',
    //return $composer->install([], ['--no-interaction' => null, '--no-dev' => null, '--prefer-dist' => null]);
    return $composer->install([]);

Running test

rocketeer deploy --on="develop" --tests
