How do I set up the before_script section in my .travis.yml file for Laravel Forge

yaml
before_script:
  - cp .env.travis .env
  - mysql -e 'create database db_testing;'
  - composer self-update
  - composer install --no-interaction
  - php artisan migrate

Here's what each line does:

- `cp .env.travis .env`: Copies the `.env.travis` file to `.env`. This is assuming you have a separate `.env` file for testing purposes.

- `mysql -e 'create database db_testing;'`: Creates a test database named `db_testing` using MySQL.

- `composer self-update`: Updates Composer to the latest version.

- `composer install --no-interaction`: Installs the project dependencies using Composer without any user interaction.

- `php artisan migrate`: Runs the database migrations to set up the testing environment.

The `before_script` section is executed before running the actual tests in the `script` section. It sets up the necessary environment for your Laravel application to run tests.

Make sure to replace `db_testing` with the name of your test database if it's different.

Additionally, you'll need to configure the Travis CI environment variables for your database connection, such as `DB_HOST`, `DB_USERNAME`, and `DB_PASSWORD`. You can set these variables in the Travis CI settings for your repository.

Here's an example of how your complete `.travis.yml` file might look like:

yaml
language: php
php:
  - 7.4

services:
  - mysql

env:
  - DB_HOST=localhost
  - DB_USERNAME=root
  - DB_PASSWORD=

before_script:
  - cp .env.travis .env
  - mysql -e 'create database db_testing;'
  - composer self-update
  - composer install --no-interaction
  - php artisan migrate

script:
  - vendor/bin/phpunit

This configuration assumes you're using PHP 7.4 and MySQL as the database. Adjust the PHP version and database settings according to your project requirements.

By setting up the `before_script` section correctly, you ensure that your Laravel application is properly configured for testing before running the actual tests in the `script` section of your `.travis.yml` file.
