Run Laravel Pint inside docker container

[yungts97]

I'm using WSL2 and not PHP installed in my WSL2. And I run my Laravel project with a custom PHP docker container. I'm not using Laravel Sail for that. Is there any way to make Laravel Pint run it on my PHP docker container?

This will be difficult as is already a challenge having a Laravel Sail setup (see #34)

Only difficult part here is determining in which container the code and PHP with the dependencies is

https://github.com/m1guelpf/better-pest handles this through configuration.

{
  "better-pest.docker.enable": true,
  "better-pest.docker.command": "command to run", 
  "better-pest.docker.paths": {
    "${workspaceFolder}": "/var/www/html",
    "/some/other/path": "/whatever"
  },
}

The command can be:

• docker exec some-container
• docker compose exec some-container-within-compose
• spin run php
• relevant Sail command
• any CLI wrapping Docker (like Sail or Spin)
• etc.

The paths get used to transform paths from the host to the Docker container. With the assumption of the Docker container having configured a working directory and having 1-to-1 mapping with the host files, this config can be avoided. But, to cover all cases, it's better to have that configuration.

So, the final command becomes something like this:

$ docker exec some-container vendor/bin/pest
# or, for specific files:
$ docker exec some-container vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php

This solution also eliminates the need for having special Laravel Sail logic.

I have an old trick up my sleeve I take out whenever an extension does not support docker stuff, I use this in the past for phpcs and phpcbf without any issue, and seem to be working for this extension too.

• Open your .vscode folder into the workspace
• Add on the workspace settings the following:

{
  "laravel-pint.runInLaravelSail": false,
  "laravel-pint.fallbackToGlobalBin": false,
  "laravel-pint.executablePath": ".vscode/pint"
}

• touch pint on the .vscode folder to create an empty file
• Run chmod +x pint
• Edit the pint file and paste the following bash script, of course make your amends on the docker binary (I use docker with the new compose command, old docker-compose python scripts are located on /usr/local/bin/docker-compose), amend also your remote path, pointing to your mounted app files and if your vendor folder sits on another path inside the docker container:

#!/bin/bash
LOCAL_PATH=`pwd`
REMOTE_PATH='/var/www/html'

for param; do
  if [[ "$param" == *"$LOCAL_PATH"* ]]; then
    param=${param//$LOCAL_PATH/$REMOTE_PATH}
  fi

  newparams+=("$param")
done

/usr/bin/docker compose -f $LOCAL_PATH/docker-compose.yml exec php /var/www/vendor/bin/pint ${newparams[@]}

To sum it up, it runs docker compose and runs the pint command inside the container, in the eventuality all params are rewritten to map the local directory to the container's one.
Not sure if this is the case for this extension, but phpcs tends to spit out the full absolute path to the files to check.
