Github Action fails on Laravel project


That's my .yaml file

name: Laravel

on:
  push:
      branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
      branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
  laravel-tests:

  runs-on: ubuntu-latest

  steps:
  - uses: shivammathur/setup-php@15c43e89cdef867065b0213be354c2841860869e
    with:
      php-version: '8.1'
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - name: Copy .env
    run: php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');"
  - name: Install Dependencies
    run: composer install -q --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-progress --prefer-dist
- name: Generate key
  run: php artisan key:generate
- name: Directory Permissions
  run: chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache
- name: Create Database
  run: |
    mkdir -p database
    touch database/database.sqlite
- name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
  env:
    DB_CONNECTION: sqlite
    DB_DATABASE: database/database.sqlite
  run: vendor/bin/phpunit

And I'm also using GenreServiceProvide

$allGenres = Genre::where('isActive', 1)->orderBy('name')->get();
View::share([
    'allGenres' => $allGenres,
]);

Run php artisan key:generate

That's error

 SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (Connection: mysql, SQL: select * from `genres` where `isActive` = 1 and `genres`.`deleted_at` is null order by `name` asc)

How can I fix that ?

There is no problem if I comment all the codes in this file in my project, but I want it to work in github action as well


Solution

  • I had this error before, and if you think about it you can already guess that you don't need $allGenres variable because you are in CI/CD and therefor you don't have any view to share it with.

    So i always tend to disable these kind of queries on providers for CI/CD, mostly by checking if i'm in console or not. But sometimes if i need this in console commands the trick i use is i add an env variable just for CI/CD (in github action) and then in provider i check if i'm in CI/CD then i don't query. The code will be something like this:

    if (! app()->runningInConsole()) {
        $allGenres = Genre::where('isActive', 1)->orderBy('name')->get();
        View::share([
            'allGenres' => $allGenres,
        ]);
    }
    

    Or if i have set the env variable then i use something like this

    if (! env('IS_CI_ENV', false)) {
        $allGenres = Genre::where('isActive', 1)->orderBy('name')->get();
        View::share([
            'allGenres' => $allGenres,
        ]);
    }
    

    For action:

    ...
    jobs:
      laravel-tests:
    
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      env:
        IS_CI_ENV: true
    
    ...
