Selenium testing PHP sites in Bitbucket Pipelines

It looks like mounting files isn’t possible in the bitbucket services without getting all meta and using custom Docker-in-Docker images, so I ended up ditching the nginx service. However I successfully managed to run the PHP built in webserver!

php -S 127.0.0.1:80 public/index.php &

The -S option starts the built in dev server, and public/index.php is my app’s entrypoint. The & pushes the process into the background. It only seems to work with the 127.0.0.1 IP, if you try a custom host it won’t work.

Here’s my full pipeline config:

image:
  name: php:8.1-fpm
  username: $DH_USER
  password: $DH_PASS

definitions:
  services:
    db:
      image: mariadb:10.2
      variables:
        MARIADB_DATABASE: MY_TEST_DB
        MARIADB_USER: root
        MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'root'
    chrome:
      image: selenium/standalone-chrome
      ports:
        - 4444
        - 5900
