# docker-perl-tester

This repo is used to build Perl Docker images with various pre-installed bits:

- the `aspell` and `aspell-en` packages
- `cpanminus`
- `App::cpm`
- `Devel::Cover`
- various testing modules
- Dist::Zilla with some common plugins (for Perl >= 5.20)

At this points images are refreshed daily, which could change overtime if it becomes an issue.
This should guarantee you to test uptodate CPAN stack.

Note: if one dependency fails to install, this should not impact you as the image would not be published
on failures.

# Using Docker Images for your projects

The images can be found at [https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/perldocker/perl-tester/](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/perldocker/perl-tester/)

The following tags are available from the repository `perldocker/perl-tester`

```
devel
5.40
5.38
5.36
5.34
5.32
5.30
5.28
5.26
5.24
5.22
5.20
5.18
5.16
5.14
5.12
5.10
```

## devel build

Note that the `devel` build was added to test on the current Perl development version. (example: `5.37.8`, )
This is tracking the last Perl `devel` version released.

## OS flavor

Images are built for both Debian `buster` and Debian `bookworm`. The
versions without an explicit Debian version are `buster`.

# Continuous Integrations

## Using the images with GitHub Workflow

Here is a sample workflow for Linux running on all Perl version 5.10 to 5.40
You can save the content in `.github/workflow/linux.yml`.

Note: this example is using cpm to install the dependencies from a cpanfile.
You can comment this line or use Dist::Zilla instead for supported Perl versions.

```yaml
name: linux

push:
branches:
- '*'
tags-ignore:

pull_request:

perl:
env:
# some plugins still needs this to run their tests...

run: make test
```

## Using Helper scripts

The scripts from [perl-actions/ci-perl-tester-helpers](https://github.com/perl-actions/ci-perl-tester-helpers) are available in the path of each container. These scripts can build and test dists for you in various scenarios. See [https://github.com/Perl-Critic/PPI/blob/master/.github/workflows/dzil-build-and-test.yml](https://github.com/Perl-Critic/PPI/blob/master/.github/workflows/dzil-build-and-test.yml) for an example of how to use the helpers to build and tests a Perl distribution.

## More Examples

You can find more details on how to setup GitHub workflow to smoke Perl projects by reading [skaji/perl-github-actions-sample](https://github.com/skaji/perl-github-actions-sample) GitHub repository.

## Using GitHub actions

You can also consider using GitHub actions:
- [perl-actions/install-with-cpanm](https://github.com/perl-actions/install-with-cpanm)
- [perl-actions/install-with-cpm](https://github.com/perl-actions/install-with-cpm)

## Building Docker images

When pushing to GitHub, it's using a GitHub action `.github/workflows/publish-to-docker.yml`
to automagically build and publish the docker images for you.

If you consider cloning this repository, you would have to set in your GitHub repository the following secret variables, with some example values.

```
DOCKER_REPO=perldocker/perl-tester
DOCKER_USERNAME=username
DOCKER_GITHUB_TOKEN=a-token-or-password
```

## Developer Notes:

The main branch is named `main` and not `master`.
