@danielneis encountered the problem that GitLab CI aborts the entire job as soon as one task of the script fails (reported at open-lms-open-source/moodle-plugin-ci#15 (comment)). In contrast, Travis CI always executes the entire script and reports an overall status in the end, which is more desirable for moodle-plugin-ci.

The latest revision of this script mimicks Travis's behaviour, i.e. it executes all tasks and reports an overall exit status.

Hello,

I've made a new version of this config file using the official docker images for Moodle that are now available at https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-php-apache
It simplifies the script because we don't need to install all the additional packages and php extensions.
Take a look at https://gist.github.com/danielneis/5c6140ec8150c6151a54bccd26950278
