Sylius Build Test Application GitHub Action

The goal of this action is to reduce the repetitive part of our every Sylius GitHub Workflow file.

Usage

Below you can find an example of a workflow file that uses this action. Keep in mind actions/checkout@v4 action is required and must be run before SyliusLabs/BuildTestAppAction action.

name: Example Workflow

on:
    push: ~

jobs:
    tests:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        name: "Sylius ${{ matrix.sylius }}, PHP ${{ matrix.php }}, Symfony ${{ matrix.symfony }}, ${{ matrix.database }}"

        env:
            APP_ENV: test_cached

        strategy:
            fail-fast: false
            matrix:
                php: ["8.3"]
                symfony: ["^6.4", "^7.4"]
                sylius: ["~2.1.0", "~2.2.0"]
                database: ["mysql:8.4"]

                include:
                    - php: "8.3"
                      symfony: "^7.4"
                      sylius: "~2.2.0"
                      database: "postgres:16"

        steps:
            -   uses: actions/checkout@v4

            -   name: Build application
                uses: SyliusLabs/BuildTestAppAction@v4
                with:
                    e2e: "yes"
                    database: ${{ matrix.database }}
                    php_version: ${{ matrix.php }}
                    symfony_version: ${{ matrix.symfony }}
                    sylius_version: ${{ matrix.sylius }}

            -   name: Run Behat
                run: vendor/bin/behat

The action automatically sets DATABASE_URL environment variable with unified credentials (sylius:sylius@sylius). No need to define it in your workflow.
