Add Sodium extension

FYI, I tried to put a drupalci.yml file at the top directory on my project ( drupal/cloud → ) for 💬 Drupal 10 compatibility: Support drupal/simple_oauth:5.2 (by trying to add ext-sodium PHP library) Fixed because our dependent module drupal/simple_oauth requires a ext-sodium PHP library. They looked trying to switch GitLabCI instead at 📌 Switch GitLab CI configuration to the template developed by the DA Fixed , however it means still we cannot use DrupalCI.

In my trial, drupalci.yml looks not solving the problem w/ the following error:

We cannot install ext-sodium onto Docker container running on DrupalCI (?) Moreover, I found that we could insert our custom command as follows after PHP composer analyzes the dependencies and downloads the library. We want to run the following command before starting PHP composer:

      container_command:
        commands: |
          sudo -u www-data docker-php-ext-install sodium
          sudo -u www-data composer config platform.ext-sodium $PHP_VERSION --file=composer.json

Thanks

UPDATE:

I wrote:

I was wrong, it was successful to install ext-sodium by the following configuration of drupalci.yml:

      container_command:
        commands: |
          apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsodium-dev
          docker-php-ext-install sodium
          composer config platform.ext-sodium $PHP_VERSION --file=composer.json

In this case, I want to use --ignore-platform-ext=sodium option for PHP composer, but it didn't work even when I specify as follows:

  codebase:
    assemble_codebase:
      composer.install:
        options: 'install --ignore-platform-req=ext-sodium --prefer-dist --no-suggest --no-interaction --no-progress'

To get composer to ignore the lack of the extension put this in the .gitlab-ci.yml file

variables:
  # Remove this once the base image includes the sodium PHP extension
  COMPOSER_EXTRA: '--ignore-platform-req=ext-sodium'

Sodium is supposed to be part of newer versions of PHP, especially Debian. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911135
I know for certain it is installed by default in all supported versions of Ubuntu.

I just realized this is an issue for drupalci, not gitlabci. Closing.
