# Roave Backward Compatibility Check

A tool that can be used to verify BC breaks between two versions
of a PHP library.
## Pre-requisites/assumptions
* Your project uses `git`
* Your project uses `composer.json` to define its dependencies
* All source paths are covered by an `"autoload"` section in `composer.json`
* Changes need to be committed to `git` to be covered. You can implement your own logic to extract sources and dependencies from a project though.
## Installation
```bash
composer require --dev roave/backward-compatibility-check
```
### Install with Docker
You can also use Docker to run `roave-backward-compatibility-check`:
```bash
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/app nyholm/roave-bc-check
```
## Usage
### Adding to a continuous integration pipeline
The typical intended usage is to just add `roave-backward-compatibility-check`
to your CI build:
```bash
vendor/bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check
```
This will automatically detect the last minor version tagged, and
compare the API against the current `HEAD`. If any BC breaks are found,
the tool returns a non-zero status, which on most CI systems will cause
the build to fail.
*NOTE:* detecting the base version only works if you have git tags in
the SemVer-compliant `x.y.z` format, such as `1.2.3`.
*NOTE:* since this tool relies on tags, you need to make sure tags are fetched
as part of your CI pipeline. For example in a GitHub action, note the use of
[`fetch-depth: 0`](https://github.com/actions/checkout#fetch-all-history-for-all-tags-and-branches):
```yaml
jobs:
roave-backwards-compatibility-check:
name: Roave Backwards Compatibility Check
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: "Install PHP"
uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
with:
php-version: "8.0"
- name: "Install dependencies"
run: "composer install"
- name: "Check for BC breaks"
run: "vendor/bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check"
```
#### Nyholm Github Action
Tobias Nyholm also offers [a simple GitHub action](https://github.com/Nyholm/roave-bc-check-docker)
that you can use in your Github pipeline. We recommend this for most cases as
it is simple to set up:
`.github/workflows/main.yml`:
```yaml
on: [push]
name: Test
jobs:
roave-backwards-compatibility-check:
name: Roave Backwards Compatibility Check
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: "Check for BC breaks"
uses: docker://nyholm/roave-bc-check-ga
```
### Running manually
To generate additional documentation for changelogs:
```bash
vendor/bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check --format=markdown > results.md
```
### GitHub Actions
When running in GitHub Actions, it is endorsed to use the `--format=github-actions` output format:
```bash
vendor/bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check --format=github-actions
```
### Documentation
If you need further guidance:
```bash
vendor/bin/roave-backward-compatibility-check --help
```
