The puppet-composer module installs the latest version of Composer from http://getcomposer.org. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP.
This module supports puppet in versions >= 2.7, <3.5

We recommend installing using the Puppet Forge as it automatically satisfies dependencies.
puppet module install --target-dir=/your/path/to/modules tPl0ch-composer
You can also install as a git submodule and handle the dependencies manually. See the Dependencies section below.
git submodule add git://github.com/tPl0ch/puppet-composer.git modules/composer
This module requires the following Puppet modules:
And additional (for puppet version lower than 3.0.0) you need:
libaugeas(For automatically updating php.ini settings for suhosin patch)hiera-puppet(For managing config data)
To install the composer binary globally in /usr/local/bin you only need to declare the composer class. We try to set some sane defaults. There are also a number of parameters you can tweak should the defaults not be sufficient.
To install the binary with the defaults you just need to include the following in your manifests:
include composer
Alternatively, you can set a number of options by declaring the class with parameters:
class { 'composer':
target_dir => '/usr/local/bin',
composer_file => 'composer', # could also be 'composer.phar'
download_method => 'curl', # or 'wget'
logoutput => false,
tmp_path => '/tmp',
php_package => 'php5-cli',
curl_package => 'curl',
wget_package => 'wget',
composer_home => '/root',
php_bin => 'php', # could also i.e. be 'php -d "apc.enable_cli=0"' for more fine grained control
suhosin_enabled => true,
auto_update => false, # Set to true to automatically update composer to the latest version
github_token => '1234567890abcdefgh',
user => 'app',
}The composer::project definition provides a way to create projects in a target directory.
composer::project { 'silex':
project_name => 'fabpot/silex-skeleton', # REQUIRED
target_dir => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
version => '2.1.x-dev', # Some valid version string
prefer_source => true,
stability => 'dev', # Minimum stability setting
keep_vcs => false, # Keep the VCS information
dev => true, # Install dev dependencies
repository_url => 'http://repo.example.com', # Custom repository URL
user => undef, # Set the user to run as
}The composer::exec definition provides a more generic wrapper arround composer update and install commands. The following example will update the silex/silex and symfony/browser-kit packages in the /vagrant/silex directory. You can omit packages to update the entire project.
composer::exec { 'silex-update':
cmd => 'update', # REQUIRED
cwd => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
packages => ['silex/silex', 'symfony/browser-kit'], # leave empty or omit to update whole project
prefer_source => false, # Only one of prefer_source or prefer_dist can be true
prefer_dist => false, # Only one of prefer_source or prefer_dist can be true
dry_run => false, # Just simulate actions
custom_installers => false, # No custom installers
scripts => false, # No script execution
interaction => false, # No interactive questions
optimize => false, # Optimize autoloader
dev => true, # Install dev dependencies
timeout => undef, # Set a timeout for the exec type
user => undef, # Set the user to run as
refreshonly => false, # Only run on refresh
}We support the install command in addition to update. The install command will ignore the packages parameter and the following example is the equivalent to running composer install in the /vagrant/silex directory.
composer::exec { 'silex-install':
cmd => 'install', # REQUIRED
cwd => '/vagrant/silex', # REQUIRED
prefer_source => false,
prefer_dist => false,
dry_run => false, # Just simulate actions
custom_installers => false, # No custom installers
scripts => false, # No script execution
interaction => false, # No interactive questions
optimize => false, # Optimize autoloader
dev => true, # Install dev dependencies
onlyif => undef, # If true
unless => undef, # If true
}You can use the defined type composer::selfupdate to update (or rollback) composer to the latest (or specific) version.
composer::selfupdate { 'selfupdate_composer':
version => undef, # Leave undef for latest version, otherwise specify commit hash here
rollback => false, # Set to true to rollback to a specified version (version MUST be given)
clean_backups => false, # Set to true to clean backups
user => undef, # If the command should be run as a user
logoutput => false, # If the command's output should be written to the logs
timeout => 300, # Timeout for this command
tries => 3, # Retries for this command
}For unit testing we use rspec-puppet and Travis CI. Functional testing happens through a Vagrant VM where you can test changes in a real server scenario.
When contributing fixes or features you should try and create RSpec tests for those changes. It is always a good idea to make sure the entire suite passes before opening a pull request. To run the RSpec tests locally you need bundler installed:
gem install bundler
Then you can install the required gems:
bundle install
Finally, the tests can be run:
rake spec
For easier development and actual testing the use of the module, we rely on Vagrant, which allows us to bring up a VM that we can use to test changes and perform active development without needing a real server.
To get started with the Vagrant VM you should first get the Unit Tests working. Then you will need to install VirtualBox and Vagrant.
To bring up the development VM you can run rake vagrant:up. This Rake task runs rake spec_prep as a pre-requisite so that the git Puppet module is available. With the VM up and running you can login via SSH with vagrant ssh and run puppet apply against it with rake vagrant:provision.
The VM will get the spec/fixtures/manifests/vagrant.pp file applied to the node. This currently creates a Silex project at /tmp/silex when the VM starts up. You can modify this manifest to your liking.
Acceptance tests are written using Beaker.
To run the beaker tests via rake, you can simply run rake beaker.
To use something other than the default beaker node, try the following:
BEAKER_set=ubuntu-server-1404-x64 rake beaker
To use beaker without rake, simply run rspec spec/acceptance.
Beaker + Hiera
When running acceptance tests, you may hit GitHub rate limits much faster than you would otherwise. To ensure your tests do not fail arbitrarily, you can add your GitHub auth token via hiera.
Create a hiera config at spec/fixtures/puppet/common.yaml, that looks like this:
composer::github_token: 'my_github_auth_token'Happy testing!
