wheels ci init

Initialize continuous integration configuration for your Wheels application.

Synopsis

wheels ci init [provider] [options]

Description

The wheels ci init command sets up continuous integration (CI) configuration files for your Wheels application. It generates CI/CD pipeline configurations for popular CI providers like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and others.

Arguments

Argument	Description	Default
provider	CI provider to configure (github, gitlab, jenkins, travis, circle)	github

Options

Option	Description
--template	Use a specific template (basic, full, minimal)
--branch	Default branch name
--engines	CFML engines to test (lucee5, lucee6, adobe2018, adobe2021, adobe2023)
--databases	Databases to test against (h2, mysql, postgresql, sqlserver)
--force	Overwrite existing CI configuration
--help	Show help information

Examples

Initialize GitHub Actions

wheels ci init github

Initialize with specific engines

wheels ci init github --engines=lucee6,adobe2023

Initialize with multiple databases

wheels ci init github --databases=mysql,postgresql

Initialize GitLab CI

wheels ci init gitlab --branch=develop

Use full template with force overwrite

wheels ci init github --template=full --force

What It Does

1. Creates CI configuration files in the appropriate location:

   • GitHub Actions: .github/workflows/ci.yml

   • GitLab CI: .gitlab-ci.yml

   • Jenkins: Jenkinsfile

   • Travis CI: .travis.yml

   • CircleCI: .circleci/config.yml

2. Configures test matrix for:

   • Multiple CFML engines

   • Multiple database systems

   • Different operating systems (if supported)

3. Sets up common CI tasks:

   • Dependency installation

   • Database setup

   • Test execution

   • Code coverage reporting

   • Artifact generation

Generated Configuration

Example GitHub Actions configuration:

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        cfengine: [lucee@5, lucee@6, adobe@2023]
        database: [h2]
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Setup CommandBox
        uses: ortus-solutions/setup-commandbox@v2
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: box install
      - name: Start server
        run: box server start cfengine=${{ matrix.cfengine }}
      - name: Run tests
        run: box testbox run

Templates

Basic Template

• Single engine and database

• Essential test execution

• Minimal configuration

Full Template

• Multiple engines and databases

• Code coverage

• Deployment steps

• Notifications

Minimal Template

• Bare minimum for CI

• Quick setup

• No extras

Use Cases

1. New Project Setup: Quickly add CI/CD to a new Wheels project

2. Migration: Move from one CI provider to another

3. Standardization: Apply consistent CI configuration across projects

4. Multi-Engine Testing: Ensure compatibility across CFML engines

Notes

• Requires a valid Wheels application structure

• Some providers may require additional authentication setup

• Database services are configured as Docker containers where possible

• The command respects existing .gitignore patterns
