Hello Laravelians',
I'm trying to get Gitlab CI working for my Laravel 5.0 project but I'm a bit stuck! Anyone got an example Laravel gitlab-ci.yaml file they could share?
Here's one I'm trying but I'm a bit stuck, I think maybe I need to do something with with the image, however I keep just getting an error saying it doesn't know PHP?!
Thank you!

php -v
bash: line 27: php: command not found
Here's my script so far, I have tried some other docker images too, joostlaan/hhvm-laravel, dylanlindgren/docker-laravel-composer
image: centos7
before_script:
- php -v
- curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
- cp ./config/pst.gitlab-ci.php ./config/pst.php
- cp ./.env.gitlab-ci ./.env
- php composer.phar install --prefer-dist --quiet
- php composer.phar dump-autoload --quiet
- php artisan key:generate
- php artisan migrate --force
- php artisan up
tests:
script: "phpunit --stop-on-failure && behat -f progress --stop-on-failure"
You mention docker in your title, but not in your post, so this may be a red herring, but...
If you're trying to run your tests in a docker container, does the docker image install the php5-cli package? I'm assuming that's what it's called in centos - I'm used to working with debian.
You know, apparently after chatting with people here it turns
a) I did not understand docker, so I watched this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGYAg7TMmp0 b) I think you're right, the centos package does not install php by default, hence why it cannot see it
So you're marked as correct, but I hope people also read this for the YT video
Took me weeks but here is working example for laravel https://gist.github.com/cerw/d46c33297f1fc0f4f778b4e9d2ec4329
