Because the build process should not continue if any of the unit tests fail, its haltonfailure attribute has been set true. Now when you run Phing from the project directory it will call the build target and, since this target depends on the test target, Phing will run the test target first. Two targets have been added, test and build, and the default target has been changed to build. Update build.xml so it now looks like this: For the sake of example, I’ll assume the following directory structure is in place for the project: Let’s amend the build script and add additional targets. You can also invoke targets other than just the default by providing one or more target names in command line: phing hello.xml target1 If you use another name then you’ll need to specify the build file as an argument to the phing command, for example: phing hello.xml It’s not mandatory that you name your build file build.xml, but Phing will look for this name by default. Keep in mind property names are case sensitive in Phing. To reference the value of a property, specify it’s name between “ $“. The element defines named values which can be used later throughout the build file. You’re not limited to the tasks Phing provides, though you can also create custom tasks. There are number of core tasks in Phing which range from simple tasks like creating a directory to more complex tasks like performing XSLT transformations. The element is a task, a single action that can be performed. A target can also be dependent upon another targets which must be performed before executing.

For example, different targets might be defined to perform a backup or to update the database. The element represents a named group of tasks that can be performed. Apart from that, you can also specify the project name, project base directory, and a description to help keep things organized. The attribute default is required and specifies the default target to invoke if one isn’t supplied on the command line. The element is the root element of the build file. phingīuildfile: /home/shameer/HelloWorld/build.xml First create your project directory, and then inside it create a file named build.xml with the following contents: įrom the command line, navigate into the directory and run phing. To show you how easy it is to create build files for Phing, let’s start with a “Hello World” build file.
#PROJECT NAMING TOOL INSTALL#
If you wish to use tasks like PHPUnit or PhpDocumentor then you’ll also need to install the dependent packages. If you don’t have it already, you can install Phing using PEAR: sudo pear channel-discover sudo pear install phing/phing In this article I’ll show you some of the basics of working with Phing. Phing helps overcome such issues by automating tasks like running unit tests, applying database changes, deploying application code, etc. It’s too easy to accidentally omit something in the process and end up with serious problem in production. If you are doing continuous integration, you’ll be doing the same steps over and over again. Without a build file, you’ll need to go through each step manually.
#PROJECT NAMING TOOL CODE#
If you’re wondering why PHP needs a build tool, consider a work flow where you write code and unit tests on your local machine, and if the tests pass you upload the code to staging/production server and make any changes to the production database. A build system helps you to perform a group of actions using a single command. Phing is a PHP project build tool based on Apache Ant.
