MOVE ON FROM SELENIUM 2... DO IT NOW & YOU WON'T HAVE TO LATER ( IT HAS MORE HOOKS & BUGFIXES )

facebook/WebDriver says it supports Selenium 2 & 3.. so will need to determine which classes/objects are pertinent to Selenium 3

• Since Selenium-Server.jar is required....
• JDK8 is required
• does jenkins have the dependencies
• is JDK8/jre in a place accessible by the Jenkins {WORKSPACE}.{PROJECT}.{BUILD} folder
• MUST USE CORRECT VERSION OF SELENIUM 3
  • the facebook/webdriver package will mandate which version can be used
  • any conflicts with SUT source code & these packages?

• Moved the framework over to the Win7 VM and is working.
• Still not sure how the classpath is managed as I added a src/Texting.php class & test/TextingTest.php threw a 'class not found' at PHPUnit runime
• Seems that running 'php composer.phar install' updates config files used by PHPUnit.
• Need to look into this as its a PITA.
• Note: Run composer.phar install often.

The goal of this project is to provide a standard template for Jenkins jobs for PHP projects.

Simply follow these four steps to get started:

Note: Run composer.phar install often. In PHPUnit newly added classes weren't visible in the classpath until the install was run.

Starting off with XAMPP installed - assuming localhost:80 is working on XAMPP

PHPUnit required  this CLI string... probably needs '/' for php,

then '\' for the OS filespecs

cmder

• CMDER is a linux/windows console hybrid that simplifies environment setup
• also makes environment portable by encapsulating the shell & environment variables

install to:

c:\cmder

cmder/bin

Curl

• curl is a http get ( and post? ) library ( tool ) to request files/pages/text/anything from internet resources.
• place the windows executable in cmder's 'bin' directory to be in the PATH's scope
• can really put these anywhere, they will just require explicit PATH entries

C:\cmder\bin\curl.exe

C:\cmder\bin\libcurl-x64.dll

C:\cmder\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt
