Required Jenkins Plugins

You need to install the following plugins for Jenkins:

• Checkstyle (for processing PHP_CodeSniffer logfiles in Checkstyle format)

• Clover PHP (for processing PHPUnit's Clover XML logfile)

• Crap4J (for processing PHPUnit's Crap4J XML logfile)

• DRY (for processing phpcpd logfiles in PMD-CPD format)

• HTML Publisher (for publishing documentation generated by phpDox, for instance)

• JDepend (for processing PHP_Depend logfiles in JDepend format)

• Plot (for processing phploc CSV output)

• PMD (for processing PHPMD logfiles in PMD format)

• Violations (for processing various logfiles)

• Warnings (for processing PHP compiler warnings in the console log)

• xUnit (for processing PHPUnit's JUnit XML logfile)

You can install these plugins using the web frontend at

http://localhost:8080/pluginManager/available

or using the Jenkins CLI:

 

wget http://localhost:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 install-plugin checkstyle cloverphp crap4j dry htmlpublisher jdepend plot pmd violations warnings xunit

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 safe-restart

If you see an error message such as "checkstyle is neither a valid file, URL, nor a plugin artifact name in the update center No update center data is retrieved yet", you need to update your plugin list manually:

curl -L https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json | sed '1d;$d' | curl -X POST -H 'Accept: application/json' -d @- http://localhost:8080/updateCenter/byId/default/postBack

In the above, replace localhost:8080 with the hostname and port of your Jenkins installation.

Required PHP Tools

The following PHP tools are required:

• PHPUnit
• PHP_CodeSniffer
• PHPLOC
• PHP_Depend
• PHPMD
• PHPCPD
• phpDox

We assume that these tools are on the $PATH and can be invoked with phpunit, phpcs, phploc, pdepend, phpmd, phpcpd, and phpdox, respectively. For instance because you have downloaded the respective PHP archives (PHAR) and put them into your $PATH or because you have installed the tools globally using Composer.
