Phing build system

Currently we use phing as build system and it makes it easy to run the unit tests or build the translation files for example.

Execute phing

You can execute phing in the root directory of each repository. Depending on the repository, there are different phing targets available and you should have a look into the build.xml file to find out their name and what tasks they perform. In the Aimeos core, you can also execute phing in the subdirectories which contains a build.xml file too. Then, only the tasks related to these sub-directory are executed.

The most important targets for you are "setup" to populate the database and "test" to find out, if everything is still working as it should:

phing setup
phing test

If you would like to test the Aimeos core on your hardware you can use target "setupperf" to write performance test data to the database and browse through the "Perfomance" site in the front end. You will have to activate the performance site in the administration interface.

Aimeos core targets

The Aimeos core repository contains these targets:

all (or no target)

Executes the setup, test and check targets

setup

Sets up the database and writes the unit test data to the database

coverage

Generates a code coverage report

coverageext

Generates a code coverage report for a specific extension directory given via "-Ddir=ext/"

test

Executes the unit tests

testext

Executes the unit tests for a specific extension directory given via "-Ddir=ext/"

check

Executes the code sniffer

checkext

Executes the code sniffer for a specific extension directory given via "-Ddir=ext/"

doc

Generates the API documentation from the PHPDoc blocks and the Wiki documentation for the configuration settings

clean

Cleans up temporary files

i18n

Extracts all strings that should be translated from the source files

build

Generates all binary translation files and the compressed JS files

createext

Creates new Aimeos extension
