Setup and start ddev action

This Github action starts ddev with your project's configuration from the directory .ddev.

The idea is to reuse the same environment that you are maintaining for development anyways for automated acceptance testing, thus saving on maintaining a separate CI-configuration.

Any additional services that you might have configured will be started and any post-start hooks etc. will be run.

Example Github workflow

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04    # tested on: 18.04/20.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: jonaseberle/github-action-setup-ddev@v1
      # example: composer install
      - run: ddev composer install
      # example: fill database
      - run: ddev mysql < data/db.sql
      # ... and so on.

Options

Common recipes

SSH keys

If your workflow needs to reach remote destinations that require private SSH keys, here is a snippet showing how you might add SSH keys that you have entered as Github "secrets":

- name: Set up SSH keys
  run: |
    mkdir -p .ddev/homeadditions/.ssh
    echo "${{ secrets.MY_KEY }}" > .ddev/homeadditions/.ssh/id_rsa
    echo "${{ secrets.MY_KNOWN_HOSTS }}" > .ddev/homeadditions/.ssh/known_hosts
    chmod 700 .ddev/homeadditions/.ssh
    chmod 600 .ddev/homeadditions/.ssh/id_rsa
- name: Set up ddev
  uses: jonaseberle/github-action-setup-ddev@v1
