I’m starting to lose hope. I want to create a GitHub Actions pipeline to run my Laravel tests using ‘php artisan test’.

My project is Dockerized and allows local code modification.

Here’s my pipeline script:

`name: Laravel Run Tests

on:
push:
branches:
– main
pull_request:
types: [opened, reopened, synchronize]

jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - name: Checkout repository
    uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Set up PHP
    uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
    with:
      php-version: '8.3'

  - name: Install PHP dependencies
    run: |
      cp .env.example .env
      cp nginx/conf.d/laravel.conf.example nginx/conf.d/laravel.conf
      sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
      sudo chmod -R 777 .
      pwd
      ls -l
      ls -a
      ls -a ./nginx/conf.d
      cat ./nginx/conf.d/laravel.conf
      composer install --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-progress --no-scripts --optimize-autoloader
      php artisan key:generate
      php artisan config:cache

  - name: Install npm dependencies
    run: |
      npm install

  - name: Install Docker Compose
    run: |
      sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.27.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
      sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
      docker-compose --version

  - name: Set up Docker Compose
    run: |
      docker-compose up -d
      sleep 40
      docker-compose exec -T app php artisan migrate --force
      docker ps

  - name: Check file permissions
    run: docker-compose exec -T app ls -l /var/www

  - name: Check logs of app container
    run: docker logs laravel_app

  - name: Check logs of webserver container
    run: docker logs nginx

  - name: Run tests inside Docker container
    run: docker-compose exec -T app php artisan test

`

I also have the docker-compose.yml:

`services:
app:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
container_name: laravel_app
working_dir: /var/www
volumes:
– ./:/var/www
networks:
– laravel
env_file:
– .env
depends_on:
– db
healthcheck:
test: [ “CMD-SHELL”, “curl -f http://localhost || exit 1” ]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 5
restart: unless-stopped

webserver:
    image: nginx:1.26.0-alpine
    container_name: nginx
    ports:
        - "8081:80"
    volumes:
        - ./:/var/www
        - ./nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d
    depends_on:
        - app
    networks:
        - laravel
    restart: unless-stopped

db:
    image: mariadb:latest
    container_name: mariadb
    environment:
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
        MYSQL_DATABASE: ${DB_DATABASE}
        MYSQL_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
        MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
    volumes:
        - dbdata:/var/lib/mysql
    ports:
        - "3307:3306"
    networks:
        - laravel
    healthcheck:
        test: [ "CMD-SHELL", "mysqladmin ping -h localhost -u ${DB_USERNAME} -p${DB_PASSWORD} || exit 1" ]
        interval: 30s
        timeout: 10s
        retries: 5
    restart: unless-stopped

phpmyadmin:
    image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
    container_name: phpmyadmin
    environment:
        PMA_HOST: db
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
    ports:
        -   "8082:80"
    depends_on:
        -   db
    networks:
        -   laravel
    restart: unless-stopped

The Dockerfile:

`FROM php:8.3.7-fpm

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
git
unzip
zip
nodejs
netcat-openbsd

RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php — –install-dir=/usr/local/bin –filename=composer
RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash –
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y netcat-openbsd

WORKDIR /var/www

COPY . /var/www

RUN composer install –no-interaction –no-plugins –no-scripts
RUN npm i

COPY init.sh /usr/local/bin/

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/init.sh

CMD [“sh”, “/usr/local/bin/init.sh”]
`

And the init.sh file:

`#!/bin/sh

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

until nc -z -v -w30 db 3306; do
echo ‘Waiting for database connection…’
sleep 1
done

php artisan migrate

exec php-fpm`

Currently, my .env and laravel.conf files are exact copies of the example files.

On my local machine, I can run tests and pass them with the command:

docker-compose exec -T app php artisan test

But in my GitHub Action, I’m getting a 500 error on a test that expects only a 200 response.

I’ve made a lot of changes, consulting documentation and even using AI.
Many instructions in my pipeline script are part of my research efforts.

I’m a novice, so I’m probably missing something, but I’m out of ideas.

I’m new to this platform and I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share the link to my repository, but here it is: https://github.com/Green-Blind/PhoenixPedia

I’ve tried several times to modify the script of my GitHub Actions pipeline.

Firstly, I tried using services instead of my docker-compose setup.
Then, I ensured that the .env.example and laravel.conf.example files were correctly copied to .env and laravel.conf.

I used ‘cat’ to verify the information that was present.

I modified the script to display container logs and also experimented with file read and write permissions.

I tried using the same version of docker-compose as on my computer.

I also attempted to force migration in case it hadn’t been applied properly.

I added various pauses to ensure that my init.sh file could finish.

I’m really stuck on this issue.
