As title, I’ve used the following `.travis.yml` setting to build my CI environment.

```auto
language: php

php:
  - 7.1
  - 7.2
  - 7.3

before_script:
  - composer install

script:
  - mkdir -p build/logs
  - ./vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-clover build/logs/clover.xml

after_success:
  - travis_retry php vendor/bin/php-coveralls -v

```

But it’s undefined when using the `imagewep` function on every PHP version.

The detailed build log is available [here](https://travis-ci.org/peter279k/php-image-converter/jobs/525593113).

And I use the Docker to build a container and it’s worked fine for the `imagewebp` function.

Here is my `Dockerfile`:

```auto
# Install required packages
FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN apt-get install -y python-software-properties
RUN LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y apt-transport-https apt-utils curl php7.1-gd php7.1-cli

CMD ["bash", "-c", "php -r 'echo function_exists(\"imagewebp\");'"]

```

I think the default PHP versions in Travis CI build may have the `webp` image issues for `GD` extension.

Please help me to check/concern that 🙂.

@peter279k I’m running into the same issue trying to test against WEBP/GD stuff that’s being skipped right now. Did you ever have any luck getting tests going?

Hi @jarednova, thanks for your reply and concern 🙂 .

Unfortunately, this issue still happens on my Travis CI build and you can look at this [repository](https://github.com/peter279k/php-travis-webp).

It’s for testing this issue. As you can look at the [Travis CI build log](https://travis-ci.org/peter279k/php-travis-webp/jobs/632366676), the gd extension is loaded on PHP run time, but the `imagewebp` function is not existed.

@jarednova. If you want to fix this issue temporarily, you can look at another [repository](https://github.com/peter279k/php-travis-gd) I create.

As you can look at [Travis CI build log](https://travis-ci.org/peter279k/php-travis-gd/jobs/632371476), this Travis CI build doesn’t use pre-built PHP versions and enable `sudo` to install remote PHP versions.

Awesome, thanks @peter279k!!! I’ll take a look at those and see if I can pull that stuff into mine. Thanks for the quick response!

Hello @peter279k,  
Your solution doesn’t wok for me.  
Webp\_support showing as false in build log.

Hi @manerkargaurav. Thanks for your reply.

Which solutions do you use?

Do you refer this [one](https://github.com/peter279k/php-travis-gd)?

Just notice that it should use `sudo php` to call PHP file or others because it will support `webp` on `GD` extension after installing PHP manually on Travis CI build.

More details are available on [Travis CI build log](https://travis-ci.org/github/peter279k/php-travis-gd).

Do you use the `sudo php` to run your PHP processes?

And it seems that you run `php` command.

Hi @peter279k  
Can you print gd\_info() at your end and check if webp\_supported is set to true ?

Sure. You can look at this recent [Travis CI build log](https://travis-ci.org/github/peter279k/php-travis-gd/jobs/742374858).

And these captured pictures are as follows:

You can see different results about `sudo php` and `php` commands :).

Recently I try to figure out the solution about using PHP with `GD` and `WebP` supports without `sudo` prefix.

But I don’t have the current way to fix above issue.

If I have the current solution, I will let you know 🙂.

After using `which php` and `sudo which php` to find current PHP executing path, I change `sudo php` to `/usr/bin/php`.

You can look at more details about [.travis.yml](https://github.com/peter279k/php-travis-gd/blob/master/.travis.yml) file 🙂 .
