Phing Buildtools for the SilverStripe Project

DEPRECATED These tools have been replaced by the cow release tool

Overview

The goal of this project is to aid SilverStripe developers in automating various aspects of their build through phing. The tools are designed to run as a standalone package, pulling the modules to be packaged from Packagist.

It is primarily geared towards core developers preparing a SilverStripe release, but can also be a starting point for custom build setups.

Notable features:

• Creating and uploading release archives
• Multi-module tagging and checkout of tags and branches
• Multi-module changelogs with automatic sorting by "commit tags"

The phing targets are generally compatible with SilverStripe 2.4 and newer.

Installation

Install buildtools into a local directory:

composer create-project silverstripe/buildtools

Usage

Run vendor/bin/phing -l to see a full list of available targets, and vendor/bin/phing help for in-depth help.

The most important command is vendor/bin/phing release. It roughly takes the following steps:

• Checks out the base release branch (e.g. 3.1) for core modules and the installer
• Ensures no local changes are present
• Writes a combined changelog from core modules, and pushes the committed Markdown file
• Tags core modules and pushes those tags
• Temporarily overwrites the composer.json version constraints with the new tag, and generates a composer.lock file by running composer update
• Pushes the composer.lock file, tags the release, and removes it again (it should just exist in the tag)
• Creates archives (separately for cms+framework and standalone framework)
• Uploads archives to silverstripe.org
• Checks out the base release branch again

Caution: The task uses a lot of --force in its git commands, for example overwriting existing tags. It is your responsibility to ensure tag overwrites should indeed take place. While you can generally abort and restart the release task, it is recommended to start with a fresh composer project each time you run it.
