GitHub Action script for PHP CI

Hey guys,

A quick trick & sharing with y'all for my script to run PHPUnit with GitHub Action.

FYI some of my latest repositories are using this script:

GitHub Action script x PHPUnit

Will be affected for:

A new commit to the main branch
New PRs that point to the main branch

Flow:

Install PHP 8.1 + pcov (best PHP coverage driver at the moment)
Install dependencies
(Optional) Setup env
Run the test with the coverage option
(Optional) Upload to CodeCov for the coverage result

name: Build & Test
on:
    pull_request:
        branches:
            - 'main'
        types: [ opened, synchronize, reopened, ready_for_review ]
    push:
        branches:
            - 'main'

jobs:
    build_php81:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            -   uses: actions/checkout@v3
                if: success()

            -   name: Setup PHP with coverage driver
                uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
                with:
                    php-version: '8.1'
                    coverage: pcov

            -   name: Setup
                if: success()
                run: |
                    php -v
                    composer install --no-interaction

            -   name: PHPUnit tests with coverage
                if: success()
                run: |
                    composer test-coverage

            -   name: upload coverage to codecov.io
                uses: codecov/codecov-action@v1
                with:
                    token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}
                    file: ./coverage.xml

Feel free to copy it and change it to your desired flow 😉

Cheers!
