test-modx

A MODX Revolution test fixture for DDEV's automated modx project-type tests (TestDdevFullSiteSetup in pkg/ddevapp/ddevapp_test.go).

• MODX version: Revolution 3.2.1-pl (traditional distribution, with core/vendor/ committed)
• Docroot: project root ("")
• Default admin login: admin / Admin123!Admin

The ddev-automated-test branch is the default branch. It holds the full MODX codebase (including Composer dependencies in core/vendor/) but not the environment-specific pieces:

• core/config/config.inc.php is not committed — DDEV generates a #ddev-generated version on ddev start.
• core/cache/ is emptied.
• .ddev/ is not committed.
• config.core.php (root, manager/, connectors/) uses the portable distribution default (dirname(__FILE__) . '/core/'), so the codebase works at any mount path.

Using it locally

git clone -b ddev-automated-test https://github.com/ddev/test-modx
cd test-modx
ddev config --project-type=modx
ddev start
ddev launch          # front end
ddev launch /manager/ # backend (admin / Admin123!Admin)

The database and uploaded-files fixtures are attached to each tagged release:

• db.sql.tar.gz — a MariaDB dump of the installed site (imported with ddev import-db)
• files.tgz — the contents of assets/ including uploads/ddev.png (imported with ddev import-files)

Regenerating the fixtures

The database and files artifacts are rebuilt with ./build-fixtures.sh, which downloads the MODX traditional distribution, installs it non-interactively against a throwaway MariaDB container using MODX's CLI installer, and exports the db.sql.tar.gz and files.tgz artifacts into .tarballs/. See that script for the exact commands.

Publishing a new release

1. Update the code on the ddev-automated-test branch and commit.
2. Run ./build-fixtures.sh to regenerate .tarballs/db.sql.tar.gz and .tarballs/files.tgz.
3. Tag the commit (for example v3.2.1) and create a GitHub release.
4. Attach db.sql.tar.gz and files.tgz to the release.
5. Point the TestPkgModx entry in DDEV's pkg/ddevapp/ddevapp_test.go at the new tag.
