In general, when developing a Nextcloud (or ownCloud) app always use https://github.com/pondersource/dev-stock as your development environment. This will save you and your colleagues a lot of duplicate effort.

Testing your Nextcloud app

Depending on how you created the app when you started you can probably run make composer and then make test.

Testing a PR on Nextcloud server

Using the Dev Container for Nextcloud Server

You can open your local clone of https://github.com/nextcloud/server in VSCode and click 'reopen in dev container'. Then once you see the devcontainer@5bc8697121e0:/var/www/html$ prompt you can run ./autotest.sh sqlite lib/Authentication/TwoFactorAuth/ManagerTest.php. It will complain that it can't connect to XDebug and it will be slow but it works.

Installing the dependencies

  • Open server in gitpod.
  • install sudo apt install sqlite3
  • install sudo apt install php-cli php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-pcov php-xdebug php-curl php-zip php-gd php-sqlite3
  • install composer deps: cd build/integration && composer install
  • go back to server directory and run:
gitpod /workspace/server (mrv/tfa-configuring) $ ./autotest.sh sqlite lib/Authentication/TwoFactorAuth/ManagerTest.php
Using PHP executable /usr/bin/php
