This post is part of The Containerization Chronicles, a series of posts about Containerization. In them, I write about my experiments and what I’ve learned on Containerization of applications. The contents of this post might make more sense if you read the previous posts in this series.

This is a fairly small post, as it is really simple to integrate with CodeCov. Follow the instructions on their website to create your account and set up the repository and follow along with this post.

To be honest, we don’t even really need this integration at this point, because Scrutinizer can already give us a nice badge for the code coverage, as well as fail the build if the coverage degrades. Nevertheless, CodeCov gives us all that plus a much more detailed report about the coverage than just the final coverage rating, and the possibility to fail the build if the coverage of the pull request is below the limit, or results in a global coverage below the limit.

If you want to jump right into the code, this is the tag on GitHub.

Now that we have some containers in place for development, we can integrate with a CI server. I chose Scrutinizer CI because of the code analysis it makes, the fact that it is also a CI server it’s a plus. However, as a CI, it has some limitations, which I will talk about later on when integrating with Heroku, so we will most likely move to another CI engine later in the future while keeping Scrutinizer only for the code analysis but, for now, this is all we need.

To set up the CI, we will:

Containerize an environment to run the tests in the CI
Configure Scrutinizer
Add the scrutinizer badges to the README.md
Integrate Scrutinizer with GitHub
