Hello!
Is anybody here using Gitpod as a testing / dev environment in building WordPress plugins?
I was curious of some aspects of this infrastructure, which I’ll add below, and would really appreciate any feedback form you:
1. How were you guys able to cope with the database offered via gitpod? Considering that it purges away after a few minutes. Do you know any alternatives for it?
2. Do you guys have a suggestion on how to build multiple testing environments which can be easily deployed via Gitpod on which I can test my plugin?
Ex: I would like to have an instant WooCommerce like site, blog site, multisite environment etc. which I will need to have stored somewhere and easily deployed via Gitpod with the current master version of our developed custom plugin.
Now that the version control is perfect, with the use of Gitpod, I was thinking basically on how to include a perfect environment control as well, on top of that (so easily generate a custom website to test my plugin, with speedy deploy, and easy database access to it).
Any suggestions in terms of third party database storage, or backups along with Gitpod would help a lot.
I would also want to be able to “keep” an environment and save it for my developer when I find a bug for example, I simply give him the URL of the site setup on which I found that bug, and then, come back with the new version with the fix (deployed form github), to re-test the bug again, on the SAME environment. That is very important for me…
I hope you guys understood my inquiry . I appreciate any feedback/suggestions.
Note: we build WordPress plugins, we are not doing web development 😀 Thanks
