Vagrant script to setup all the common PHP / WordPress version combinations

On the WordPress side of things, Basic WordPress Vagrant Environment is ready to work with any WordPress version (with a little help). You would still need to find a way to configure the PHP but there is a hint in https://github.com/ideasonpurpose/basic-wordpress-box/blob/master/ansible/roles/php/tasks/php.yml.

To use it out of the box; Download or clone the project to wplatest-php55.dev/ and run vagrant up

Installing Vagrant Host Manager will automatically link the IP to your folder http://wplatest-php55.dev/

Generate multiple environments from WP versions via install-wp.sh

Check the archive for possible WordPress versions https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

# PWD (script directory)
# ├── common_folder
# ├── wp39-php55.dev
# │   └── site/common_folder
# ├── wp42-php55.dev
# │   └── site/common_folder
# └── wp431-php55.dev
#     └── site/common_folder

Here is a script that pulls the Vagrant environment master to the bash script’s directory, clones a site for each version in the array, configures the install task to use that WP version and allows you to specify a file/folder to copy to all sites before you vagrant up.

Put this in a file install-wp.sh then run chmod +x install-wp.sh to make it executable. Find a folder where you want to create all these boxes and run ./install-wp.sh. It’ll generate the structure above.

Since you want to test your plugin in all versions make a folder in the same directory as the script wp-content/plugins/your-plugin then run install-wp.sh wp-content. The file/folder is copied to each site’s root which is why I suggest wp-content.

install-wp.sh

# Create multiple WordPress sites based on version numbers in array.

# ( OPTIONAL )
#   Copy common file/folder to all sites - Pass as parameter $1

# Each site runs in a Vagrant Environment:

# (OPTIONAL) Copy common file/folder to all sites!
# pass as argument to .sh

# Example Folder:
# Make a common wp-content folder, then run install with

#   ./install-wp.sh wp-content
#
# Example File:
# Make a text file, then run install with
#
#   ./install-wp.sh my_file.txt

# or File
elif [ -f "$1" ]; then
  echo "Copying $1 --> $common_dest"

  cp $1 $common_dest/$file_name

## Create doc for quick glance at version number

txt=$dest/download-wp-$VERSION.txt
touch $txt
printf "WordPress Version: $VERSION - https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/\n\nDownload Zip: $remotewpzip\n" > $txt

done

# The rest is just for show

echo -e "\nDone!\n\nNow just run 'vagrant up' in any of these:\n"

for VERSION in "${versions[@]}" ; do
  flatv="${VERSION//.}"
  dirname=wp$flatv-php55.dev
  echo -e "\t"$base/$dirname "\thttp://"$dirname
done

echo -e "\nMore Vagrant env info @ https://github.com/ideasonpurpose/basic-wordpress-vagrant"
echo -e "Best if used with https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-hostmanager\n\nENJOY!"

Update:

It turns out the Basic WordPress Vagrant Environment isn’t really setup to handle multiple php versions but the Basic WordPress Box might be if you adjust the PHP task. I figured I’d leave a shell of a script that would have handled multiple php versions.
