README

This is a dev dependency for PHP repositories in the Laminas and Mezzio ecosystems.

It is not intended for external use.

Install

composer require laminas/internal-tooling

Next, copy the shipped Makefile template to the root of the project with:

cp vendor/laminas/internal-tooling/templates/MakefileTemplate.mk ./Makefile

The template will need some adjustment depending on the project.

Requirements

Pretty much everything runs in Docker, so you will need docker installed and running on the host machine for the make targets to work.

Other host machine dependencies include:

• xpath Some targets shell out to xpath to inspect XML configuration files
• find Used in some situations to discover files in the working tree
• git Used to fetch the documentation theme when building docs

Features

Out-of-the-box Makefile

After copying the shipped Makefile template, it will need a few minor adjustments. These are documented in the template.

Now, running make should list a number of useful targets for general QA work on Laminas and Mezzio libraries.

Most tools that perform QA checks that can be detected as being installed are added to the qa target, so issuing make qa will run everything in series.

Markdown Linting

With the provided Makefile, running make docs-lint will check all Markdown files in the root directory, and in the ./docs subdirectory against the markdownlint rules used in CI. This target is also appended to the qa make target.

Markdown Link Checker

When a ./docs directory exists, make qa will automatically invoke the target docs-check-links, which will in turn run a link checker over all the Markdown files in ./docs

Documentation Builder

The docs-build target will fetch the documentation theme repository, build a mkdocs image and build the static docs directory as per Laminas conventions so that you can eyeball the built docs locally before pushing.

Mago Configuration

Provides a default configuration for Mago which projects should extend for consistent coding standards via mago fmt and sane defaults for static analysis.

To make use of Mago, create a mago.toml in the root directory that extends the configuration shipped here:

#:schema https://mago.carthage.software/1.51.0/schema.json

extends = "vendor/laminas/internal-tooling/mago/defaults.toml"

# ... customised per-project rules and configuration follows

There are a number of make targets available for running Mago's suite of tools. make qa will run the formatter in check mode, the linter and the analyser.

PHP Code Sniffer Make Targets

• make phpcs Runs PHP_CodeSniffer coding standards checks
• make phpcbf Runs PHP_CodeSniffer's fixers

Psalm Make Targets

• make psalm Run Psalm SA checks
• make psalm-update-baseline Update the Psalm baseline
• make psalm-set-baseline Expand the Psalm baseline with new issues
• make psalm-clear-cache Clears the Psalm cache

PHPUnit Make Targets

• make test

Rector Targets

When rector is installed to ./tools/rector

• make rector (Run rector with --dry-run)
• make rector-fix

Infection Targets

When infection is installed to ./tools/infection

• make infection

StructArmed Targets

When StructArmed is installed to ./tools/structarmed

• make structarmed Runs the analysis
• make structarmed-fix Runs auto fixers
• make structarmed-clear Clears the cache

Dependency Management Targets

• make install - Often not required because this lib is distributed via composer itself
• make update - Runs composer update with the project docker image
• make bump-dev - Bumps development dependencies
• make outdated - Run composer outdated

For tools that are installed in subdirectories, it's a pain to cd to each one and run composer for each tool, therefore these targets operate on all installed tools:

• make install-tools
• make update-tools
• make bump-tools

Migrations

Migrations represent small units of automation for common or one-off maintenance tasks for Laminas Repos.

PHP 8.6 Migration

make migrate-to-php86

For more information about this migration see the README.

Install Mago

make install-mago

This adds mago as a direct dependency of the project, initialises a sensible default configuration and empty baselines. Also adds these files to export ignores.

The target is only available if ./mago.toml does not already exist.

Rector Installation

Install rector into ./tools/rector

make install-rector

Infection Installation

Install infection into ./tools/infection

make install-infection

By default, the Min MSI is not configured, so tweaking the configuration file may be necessary. Additionally, depending on what version of PHPUnit is installed, some settings may need adjusting for PHPUnit such as executionOrder

StructArmed Installation

Install StructArmed into ./tools/structarmed

make install-structarmed

Once installed, further configuration will be required.

Psalm Removal

Psalm can be removed from the project with make uninstall-psalm if Psalm is installed.
