Testing the Symfony Local Server with Drupal

An example of running Drupal 8.8 on Symfony’s local web server.

Usage

1. Install the Symfony CLI from https://symfony.com/download.
2. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/opdavies/symfony-server-drupal-test.git
   
   cd symfony-server-drupal-test
   

3. Run composer install to download all of the project’s dependencies (Drupal core, Examples module etc).
4. Run docker-compose up -d to start the Docker container for MySQL. (You can run docker-compose ps afterwards to confirm that it’s running).
5. Run symfony server:start to start the web server.
6. Use Drush to install Drupal, prefixed by symfony php to allow access to the environment variables needed in settings.php:

   cd web
   
   symfony php ../vendor/bin/drush site:install --no-interaction
   

7. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to view the site.
8. To run tests, PHPUnit also needs to be prefixed with symfony php:

   cd web
   
   symfony php ../vendor/bin/phpunit -c core core/modules/action
   

9. Run symfony server:stop to stop the web server.
