Run PHPUnit tests automatically before pushing code in Laravel

Install Husky

Husky is an excellent tool to automate hooks, in this post we are running phpunit tests before pushing code.

npm install husky@4 --save-dev

Run all laravel tests after pushing code:

On package.json file add this code:

    "husky": {
        "hooks": {
            "pre-push": "php artisan test"
        }
    },

Go further

Husky also allows to add hooks before adding a commit.

Add pre commit hooks

If you want to learn how to install and configure PHPInsights or any other package for static analyze the links for posts are at the end of the post.

You can run any package or custom command, in this case I will add a artisan command from PHPInsights.

    "husky": {
        "hooks": {
            "pre-commit": "php artisan insights -v",
            "pre-push": "php artisan test"
        }
    },

Adding more than one pre-commit hook

You can configure Husky to add more than one command on any hook by adding "&&" between every command.

In this case it would be configure to run PHPInsights and PHPCSFixer, but you can run any package or custom command:

    "husky": {
        "hooks": {
            "pre-commit": "php artisan insights -v && vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix",
            "pre-push": "php artisan test"
        }
    },

That is all for this post, thanks for reading.
