Behat Steps

Collection of Behat steps for Drupal 9, Drupal 8 and Drupal 7.

Why traits?

Usually, such packages implement own Drupal driver with several contexts, service containers and a lot of other useful architectural structures. But for this simple library, using traits helps to lower entry barrier for usage, maintenance and support. This package may later be refactored to use proper architecture.

Installation

composer require --dev drevops/behat-steps

Usage

Add required traits to FeatureContext.php:

<?php

use Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\DrupalContext;
use DrevOps\BehatSteps\ContentTrait;

/**
 * Defines application features from the specific context.
 */
class FeatureContext extends DrupalContext {

  use ContentTrait;

}

Exceptions

• \Exception is thrown for all assertions.
• \RuntimeException is thrown for any unfulfilled requirements within a step.

Available steps

Use behat -d l to list all available step definitions.

There are also several pre and post scenario hooks that perform data alterations and cleanup.

Skipping before scenario hooks

Some traits provide beforeScenario hook implementations. These can be disabled by adding behat-steps-skip:METHOD_NAME tag to your test.

For example, to skip beforeScenario hook from JsTrait, add @behat-steps-skip:jsBeforeScenarioInit tag to the feature.

Development

Local environment setup

• Make sure that you have latest versions of all required software installed:
  • Docker
  • Pygmy
  • Ahoy
• Make sure that all local web development services are shut down (Apache/Nginx, Mysql, MAMP etc).
• Checkout project repository (in one of the supported Docker directories).
• pygmy up
• ahoy build for Drupal 9 build, or DRUPAL_VERSION=8 ahoy build for Drupal 8, or DRUPAL_VERSION=7 ahoy build for Drupal 7.
• Access built site at http://behat-steps.docker.amazee.io/

Please note that you will need to rebuild to work on a different Drupal version.

Use ahoy --help to see the list of available commands.

Apple M1 adjustments

The AIO supported version of Pygmy does not appear to receive updates any longer, appears pygmy-go is the de-facto standard going forward. There is not a stable release with Apple Silicon support yet, however the following dev branch is entirely functional, so we need to build from sources.

pygmy down && pygmy-go down
git clone --branch arm_testing git@github.com:tobybellwood/pygmy-go.git ./pygmy-go-dev
cd ./pygmy-go-dev
make build
cd builds
cp pygmy-go-darwin-arm64 $(which pygmy)
pygmy version # should output 'Pygmy version unidentifiable.'
pygmy up

Copy default.docker-compose.override.yml to docker-compose.override.yml.

Behat tests

After every ahoy build, a new installation of Drupal is created in build directory. This project uses fixture Drupal sites (sites with pre-defined configuration) in order to simplify testing (i.e., the test does not create a content type but rather uses a content type created from configuration during site installation).

• Run all tests: ahoy test-bdd
• Run all scenarios in specific feature file: ahoy test-bdd path/to/file
• Run all scenarios tagged with @wip tag: ahoy test-bdd -- --tags=wip
• Tests tagged with @d7 or @d8 or @d9 will be run for Drupal 7, Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 respectively.
• Tests tagged with @d7, @d8 and @d9 are agnostic to Drupal version and will run for all versions.

To debug tests from CLI:

• ahoy debug
• Set breakpoint and run tests - your IDE will pickup incoming debug connection.

To update fixtures:

• Make required changes in the installed fixture site
• Run ahoy drush cex -y for Drupal 8/9 or ahoy drush fua -y for Drupal 7
• Run ahoy update-fixtures for Drupal 9, or DRUPAL_VERSION=8 ahoy update-fixtures for Drupal 8, or DRUPAL_VERSION=7 ahoy update-fixtures for Drupal 7 to export configuration changes from build directory to the fixtures directory.
