# Build Documentation for module-phpmyadmin

## Overview

This module uses a pure Gradle build system. The build process downloads phpMyAdmin releases, configures them, and packages them for Bearsampp.

## Build Structure

### Version Folder Inclusion

When building a release, the build system **includes the version folder** in the compressed archive. This is consistent with other Bearsampp modules (e.g., module-bruno, module-php).

**Example structure in the final archive:**

phpmyadmin5.2.1/
├── bearsampp.conf
├── config.inc.php
├── index.php
└── [phpMyAdmin files]

Generic: Secure Error Handling

Objective: To prevent the leakage of sensitive system information through error messages while
providing sufficient detail for internal debugging.

Status:
User errors unclear: The PR adds documentation describing commands but no user-facing error messaging changes,
so exposure of internal details cannot be assessed from this diff.

Generic: Security-First Input Validation and Data Handling

Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent
vulnerabilities

Status:
No input paths: The PR contains documentation and Gradle configuration only and introduces no new input
handling code, so validation and data handling security cannot be determined from the
changes shown.

Referred Code
## Build Documentation

# Gradle Migration Summary

## Overview

The module-phpmyadmin build system has been successfully migrated from a hybrid Ant+Gradle system to a **pure Gradle implementation**, matching the pattern used in module-bruno's gradle-convert branch.

## What Changed

### Before (Hybrid Ant+Gradle)
- Used `ant.importBuild()` to import build.xml
- Relied on Ant tasks for core build logic
- Required both Ant and Gradle knowledge
- Complex integration between two build systems

### After (Pure Gradle)
- Pure Gradle implementation
- No Ant dependencies
- Simplified build logic
- Better performance with Gradle caching
- Improved IDE integration

# Changes Summary

## Issue Resolution

### Original Issue
Verify that the build system includes the version folder when compressing releases, matching the pattern from module-bruno.

### Resolution Status: ✅ VERIFIED AND FIXED

## What Was Done

### 1. Analysis
- Compared build.xml with module-bruno reference implementation
- Identified that the original Ant build.xml was correct but Gradle integration was failing
- Found that module-bruno uses pure Gradle (no Ant import) in gradle-convert branch

### 2. Migration to Pure Gradle
- Removed Ant build.xml import that was causing build failures
- Implemented pure Gradle build system matching module-bruno pattern
- Ensured version folder inclusion in compressed archives

General
Clarify 7-Zip PATH requirement

Update the README.md to clarify that the 7-Zip executable must be available on
the system's PATH for the build to succeed.

README.md [53-55]

 - Java 8 or higher
 - Gradle 6.0 or higher
-- 7-Zip (for archive creation)
+- 7-Zip (for archive creation) available on PATH as `7z`, or configure the build to point to the 7-Zip executable
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: This is a helpful clarification for the requirements section. Explicitly stating that 7-Zip needs to be on the system's PATH can prevent build failures and save developers troubleshooting time, improving the user experience of the build system.

Low
Document safe argument quoting

In the 7-Zip command example within GRADLE_MIGRATION.md, add quotes around the
path argument to ensure it handles paths containing spaces correctly.

.gradle-docs/GRADLE_MIGRATION.md [34-35]

-[sevenZip, 'a', '-t7z', archiveFile.absolutePath, 
- "${phpmyadminPrepPath.absolutePath}/*", '-mx9'].execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)

+  .execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a potential issue where paths with spaces could break the 7-Zip command. Adding quotes to the path in the documentation snippet is a good defensive practice, making the example more robust.

Low
Possible issue
Quote paths to handle spaces

In the 7-Zip command example within CHANGES.md, add quotes around the path
argument to ensure it handles paths containing spaces correctly.

High-level
Use a Gradle plugin for archiving

Replace the external 7z command-line execution with a dedicated Gradle plugin
for archiving. This improves build portability and robustness by removing the
dependency on a manually installed external tool.

Examples:

GRADLE_MIGRATION.md [34-35]
[sevenZip, 'a', '-t7z', archiveFile.absolutePath, 
 "${phpmyadminPrepPath.absolutePath}/*", '-mx9'].execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)
VERSION_FOLDER_VERIFICATION.md [28-33]
[sevenZip, 'a', '-t7z', archiveFile.absolutePath, 
 "${phpmyadminPrepPath.absolutePath}/*", '-mx9'].with {
    def archiveProcess = it.execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)
    //                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    //                                     CRITICAL: Execute from parent directory
}

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// In build.gradle, inside the 'release' task

// Find 7-Zip executable on the system
def sevenZip = findSevenZipExecutable()
if (!sevenZip) {
    throw new GradleException("7-Zip not found.")
}

// ... prepare files in phpmyadminPrepPath ...

// Execute external 7-Zip command
def process = [
    sevenZip, 'a', '-t7z',
    archiveFile.absolutePath,
    "${phpmyadminPrepPath.absolutePath}/*"
].execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)

process.waitFor()

After:

// In build.gradle

plugins {
    // Add a 7-Zip plugin to manage the dependency
    id 'com.github.kayak.seven.zip' version '2.0.0' // Example plugin
}

task createReleaseArchive(type: com.kayak.seven.zip.SevenZip) {
    // Declaratively define the archive contents
    from(file(phpmyadminPrepPath)) {
        into "${bundleName}${bundleVersion}"
    }
    destinationDir = file(bundleBuildPath)
    archiveName = archiveFileName
}

release.dependsOn createReleaseArchive
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a significant robustness issue by pointing out the dependency on an external 7z tool, proposing a best-practice solution that makes the build more portable and reliable.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

(Review updated until commit 0c19ff5)

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪
🧪 No relevant tests
🔒 No security concerns identified
⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

Inconsistency

The README requirements list Gradle 6.0+, while the docs repeatedly state Gradle 8.x+ and “no wrapper.” Align the stated minimum Gradle version across all docs to avoid user confusion.

- Java 8 or higher
- Gradle 6.0 or higher
- 7-Zip (for archive creation)
Potential Mismatch

The verification doc references specific code lines and an archive command pattern from build.gradle that aren’t included here. Ensure the actual build.gradle uses the same parent-directory execution and folder glob so the archive includes the version folder as documented.

### Code Location
File: `build.gradle`
Lines: ~290-310 (release task)

### Key Implementation
```groovy
// 1. Create prep directory WITH version folder name
def phpmyadminPrepPath = file("${bundleTmpPrepPath}/${bundleName}${bundleVersion}")
// Example: E:/Bearsampp-build/tmp/prep/phpmyadmin5.2.1/

// 2. Populate the version folder with files
downloadAndExtractPhpMyAdmin(bundleVersion, phpmyadminPrepPath)
copy {
    from bundlePath
    into phpmyadminPrepPath
}

// 3. Create archive FROM PARENT DIRECTORY
[sevenZip, 'a', '-t7z', archiveFile.absolutePath, 
 "${phpmyadminPrepPath.absolutePath}/*", '-mx9'].with {
    def archiveProcess = it.execute(null, phpmyadminPrepPath.parentFile)
    //                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Last Updated**: 2025-01-31  
**Version**: 2025.1.23  
**Build System**: Pure Gradle (no wrapper, no Ant)

**Notes**:
- This project deliberately does **not** ship the Gradle Wrapper. Install Gradle 8+ locally and run with `gradle ...`.
- All Ant-related files have been removed. The build system is **pure Gradle**.
- No wrapper scripts (`gradlew`, `gradlew.bat`) or wrapper directory (`gradle/wrapper/`) are included.
