jenkins setting up a php project - errors in log

Question

So using jenkins-php.org I tried to setup a project. Unfortunately I get errors. First of all where do I put those xml configuration files it asks for (phpmd and phpcd)? And are there some standard configurations I can use as a starting point?

But most prominently what is going on at the end of the log? How do I fix that error?

Answer 1

Try to create file phpdox.xml with following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<phpdox xmlns="http://xml.phpdox.net/config">
    <project name="phpdox" source="../library" workdir="../build/phpdox">
        <collector publiconly="false">
            <include mask="../**/*.php" />
            <exclude mask="../vendor/**"/>
            <exclude mask="*Autoload.php" />
        </collector>

        <generator output="../build">
            <build engine="html" enabled="true" output="api">
                <file extension="html" />
            </build>
        </generator>
    </project>
</phpdox>

I hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Your first Exception is

phpmd-ci:
[exec] Cannot find specified rule-set "/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/MyDemo/workspace/build/phpmd.xml".
[exec] Result: 1

I think this configurationfile is outdated. That's why the ruleset wasn't found. I was able to solve it through changing the build.xml file through defining the rulesets there.

Original phpmd config:

<target name="phpmd-ci" description="Perform project mess detection using PHPMD creating a log file for the continuous integration server">
  <exec executable="phpmd">
   <arg path="${basedir}/src" />
   <arg value="xml" />
   <arg value="${basedir}/build/phpmd.xml" />
   <arg value="--reportfile" />
   <arg value="${basedir}/build/logs/pmd.xml" />
  </exec>
 </target>

Changed config:

<target name="phpmd-ci" description="Perform project mess detection using PHPMD creating a log file for the continuous integration server">
  <exec executable="phpmd">
    <arg path="${basedir}/src" />
    <arg value="xml" />         
    <arg value="codesize,unusedcode,naming,design" />
    <arg value="--reportfile" />
    <arg value="${basedir}/build/logs/pmd.xml" />
   </exec>
</target>  

phpmd will now generate a report file and your last exception will be solved, too.

Answer 3

For your configuration files, you can copy the code for them from the http://jenkins-php.org site. About 3/4 of the way down the page there are examples of PHPUnit, phpDox, PHP_CodeSniffer, and PHPMD.

As for where to put the files, you can configure the job to look for them almost anywhere, but IIRC the default is to put them in the build folder in your projects root dir.

Our projects root directory looks something like this

root
|-- build...
|   |-- phpmd.xml
|   `-- phpunit.xml
`-- src ...
|   |-- our PHP applications code
|   `-- ...
`-- build.xml

If you get the configuration files all sorted and you still have the errors I would look at a permissions issue, also knowing what OS this is running on and how you installed Jenkins might help (Apt package vs manual download and install)
