Behat drupal login scenario install#

Within the epic are defined user stories per role, which I like to group into each feature test. I like to structure feature tests as follows:įor each epic a project contains, I create a folder. This folder is created when you first run Given I am logged in as a user with the 'administrator' roleĪ basic Behat test lives inside a. Scenario: An administrative user should be able create page content I should be able to create, edit, and delete page content

Building on the example test in the previous post, let’s look at ways we can prevent the scenarios above. Overall health of the project can be in jeopardy, because with mounting tasks to redo work that was already completed, the people in charge Not only that, but the second you start having to redo work, developer morale begins a downward slide. Not only eat into the current project budget, but hurt long term numbers too on the books. It’s frustrating, common, and the wasted minutes and/or hours Yes, we all have at some point or another, and more frequently than we think. Are you sure? Developer 1: omgwtfbbq! Developer 2: …… One second. Something wrong? Developer 1: All the work I did last week isn’t working anymore! Developer 2: It’s not? Hmm. Scenario 2: Stepping on each others toesĭeveloper 1: So, right now in the project we are in a good position to- hey, why isn’t this working? Where is Menu X? WTF BROKE! Developer 2: What’s up? Yeah I made some changes for the work I was doing. I need to get rid of it before I train the client! Developer: Ohh, one second…. Developer: Great! Manager: I just created some test content though and I can’t delete it. *… 15 minutes later … * Developer: Try now Manager: Okay yeah, I can see the edit links now. Hey wait, how come when I log in I can’t edit content? Developer: Ohhh ahhhh one second Use grep to filter them down to what you're interested in.How many times have you faced this? Scenario 1: The “okay, try now” loopĭeveloper: Hey manager, I just completed tickets 2, 3, 4, and 5. The long list of steps from behat -dl may not be the most convenient when looking for a particular one. The Behat documentation has much more on scenario-writing practice and theory. We're still looking for the giant cache of scenarios common to Drupal sites for everyone to use and remix into scenarios / tests, but in the meantime using this style and the list of available steps (from behat -dl), you'll be able to write your own. Look in the folder where you installed behat for vendor/drupal/drupal-extension/features - blackbox.feature are tests against that can be run without having to log in api.feature has scenarios that require log-in. feature files for testing itself, and that's a fine place to look for how the list of steps get applied in scenarios. This scenario was blatantly ripped off from DrupalExtension's own. Then I should be on 'admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields'Īnd I should see text matching 'Add new field' Given I am logged in as a user with the 'administrator' roleĪnd I click 'manage fields' in the 'Article' row I need to be able to administer content Reach the manage fields page of the article content type In order to add features to my Drupal site

You don't need to install Behat in your project root a global installation is possible or just make a subfolder 'behat' and go into it ( mkdir behat & cd behat and then follow Steps 1 - 4, for 3 for the behat.yml file change the base_url to that of your site and (their step 6) add beneath 'blackbox: ~' (at the same level of indent) the path to your Drupal web root: We use and for a per-project installation those instructions are all that you need for Behat Drupal Extension, Behat itself, and its dependencies (thanks to Composer). (Noticed the notation before the scenario? That indicates to Behat that Drupal Extensions Drush API must be used, in this case for creating the user.) Installing Behat and Drupal Extension But once the steps to a broad set of common actions are defined such that sentences can be run as automated tests, it sure feels a lot like magic. The Drupal Extension project needed to have already defined for us the steps I am logged in as a user with the '' role, I click '', and I see the heading ''. If these steps have been defined already - which they are by the Behat Drupal Extension project - then we can run behat and watch it highlight each of these steps in green.īehat isn't magic. Given I am logged in as a user with the 'authenticated user' role
