Dependencies that should be on your computer (host):

• Ansible
• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

You able to automatically re-install web application when machine is in provisioning. Use export REINSTALL=true to do this.

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Re-install web application (should be executed inside of VM).

cibox reinstall

Provision or re-provision VM using tags:

ANSIBLE_ARGS="--tags=php-stack" vagrant provision

Also you can do provisioning with reinstalling:

REINSTALL=true vagrant provision

cd /var/www/tests/behat/
../../bin/behat

Note: If something happened and tests is not run, try the following steps:

Check a Selenium processes on guest and host machines:

ps aux | grep selenium

If you'll see nothing, then boldly re-provision your VM:

ANSIBLE_ARGS="--tags=selenium" vagrant provision

• Drush
• Adminer
• Composer
• XDebug
• XHProf
• Selenium 2
• Sniffers, lints and hints for PHP, CSS, JS

It is installed by default, but to use it as Devel module integration use:

drush en devel -y
drush vset devel_xhprof_enabled 1
drush vset devel_xhprof_directory '/usr/share/php'
drush vset devel_xhprof_url '/xhprof_html/index.php'
ln -s /usr/share/php/xhprof_html xhprof_html

After vset devel_xhprof_enabled it could return an error about Class 'XHProfRuns_Default' not found - ignore it.

When your system enpowered with linux containers(lxc), you can speedup a lot of things by using them and getting rid of virtualization. For approaching lxc, please install vagrant plugin.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-lxc
apt-get install redir lxc cgroup-bin

Also you may need to apply this patch: https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/pull/354.

When your system is enpowered by apparmor, you should enable nfs mounts for your host machine. Do that by editing /etc/apparmor.d/lxc/lxc-default file with one line

profile lxc-container-default flags=(attach_disconnected,mediate_deleted) {
  ...
    mount options=(rw, bind, ro),
  ...

and reload apparmor service:

sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload

and run the box by command:

VAGRANT_CI=lxc vagrant up
