Advanced WordPress on Pantheon

Purpose

This repository is an example of an advanced WordPress deployment workflow on Pantheon integrating tools such as:

  • Asset compilation with gulp
  • Dependency management with Composer
  • Build process on Circle CI
  • Quicksilver platform hooks to fire off third party tests
  • Slack notification integration

Circle CI Setup

The following sensitive variables will need to be stored in Circle CI as environment variables

  • PANTHEON_SITE_UUID
    • The Pantheon UUID of the site to deploy to
  • PANTHEON_GIT_URL
    • The SSH URL of the Pantheon Git repository for the above site
  • PANTHEON_MACHINE_TOKEN
    • A Pantheon machine token for a user with access to the above repository
  • GIT_EMAIL
    • Email address of the account used to make Git commits to the Pantheon repository
  • GIT_USERNAME
    • Username of the account used to make Git commits to the Pantheon repository
  • GIT_TOKEN
    • A Github token with read access to the source repository
  • SLACK_CHANNEL
    • The name of the Slack channel to post messages to
  • SLACK_USERNAME
    • The username to post Slack messages with
  • SLACK_HOOK_URL
    • The Slack hook URL in the format of https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Quicksilver Integration

This repository makes use of Pantheon's Quicksilver Platform hooks. In order to use the Quicksilver integration you need to create a secrets.json file, based on the example below, with you API keys and place it in the private directory for each Pantheon environment (dev/test/live). The private path is located at wp-content/uploads/private and can be created/accessed via SFTP. See this doc for details.

The Quicksilver integrations included are:

  • Slack notifications for code deployment and test/live deployment
  • Spotbot visual regression testing
  • Backtrac visual regression testing
  • WP-CFM import on deployment to test/live
  • Loadimpact performance testing

The icons directory must also be copied to wp-content/uploads on the live environment to provide icons in the Slack notifications.

Example secrets.json

{
  "slack_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "spotbot_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "loadimpact_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "loadimpact_key_v3": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "backtrac_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "slack_channel" : "#my-slack-channel",
  "test_url" : "http://test-conquering-ci.pantheonsite.io",
  "live_url" : "http://live-conquering-ci.pantheonsite.io",
  "circle_ci_project" : "username/repo-name",
  "circle_ci_branch" : "master",
  "circle_ci_project" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
}

Behat Integration

Behat is installed with tests located in tests/behat. WordHat is also installed for your convenience. Behat tests will only run when code is deployed to the test environment on Pantheon.

Pantheon integration

Any code pushed to the master branch will be built and deployed to the dev environment on Pantheon. When a pull request is created code in the branch will be built and deployed to a multidev environmnent on Pantheon with the namepr-# where # is the pull request issue number. Any subsequent code pushed to the branch for an already open pull request will be built and deployed to the existing multidev environment. Multidev environments for closed pull requests will be deleted on subsequent Circle CI runs.

Local Setup

In order to develop the site locally a few steps need to be completed. These steps only need to be performed once, unless noted.

  • Open a terminal
  • Checkout the Git repository
  • Enter the Git docroot
  • Install Composer if not already installed
  • Copy sample.env to .env and update the values accordingly
  • Install Node JS and NPM if not already installed
  • Run ./bin/local-build.sh to install Composer dependencies and compile assets with gulp

Notes

  • npm install will need to be ran after any changes to web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child/package.json
  • composer update will need to be ran after any changes to composer.json

Kalabox Setup

Replace project-name with you Pantheon site slug.

  1. Create a new Pantheon site in Kalabox, selecting the Pantheon site associated with the fully built project.
  2. Change directories to ~/Kalabox/project-name
  3. Stop the site with kbox stop
  4. Remove the ~/Kalabox/project-name/code directory
  5. Git clone this (the external) repository to ~/Kalabox/project-name/code
  6. Edit the ~/Kalabox/project-name/config/nginx/wordpress.conf Nginx configuration file to serve from ~/Kalabox/project-name/code/web rather than ~/Kalabox/project-name/code by changing the line root /code; to root /code/web;
  7. Edit the ~/Kalabox/project-name/kalabox.yml file changing php: 56 to php: 70 and the upstream URL to the external repository, instead of the Pantheon repository
  8. Edit the ~/Kalabox/project-name/code/web/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child/gulp/browserSyncServe.js file and replace https://pantheon-wp-best-practices.kbox.site/ with your Kalabox site URL in the proxy option
  9. Run kbox rebuild
  10. Run kbox restart

Local Development

The gulp watch task initates a BrowserSync session and watches for:

  • Changes to web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child/source/css/twentysixteen-child.scss, recompiling the CSS build files and injecting changes into the browser
  • Changes to web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child/source/js/twentysixteen-child.js, recompiling the JavaScript build files and reloading the browser
  • Changes to .php files in the web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child directory, reloading the browser

To start the watch task run gulp watch from the web/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child directory. When you are done developing stop the task with ctrl + c.
