Varbase Behat

Varbase Behat is a standalone testing framework, with a set of Gherkin Features and custom Varbase Context with custom step definitions, and assets, which help with the automatic testing for Varbase websites https://www.vardot.com

This page can help you to have all steps, which you need to run the Behat Gherkin Features to test a varbase website in your localhost machine.

Predefined request, you will need to have a running Varbase website:

• Apache/http/https server.
• PHP server, and have the mod_rewrite enabled.
• MySQL server.
• Configure your PHP/MySQL to work well with Varbase, Have a look at https://bitbucket.org/snippets/Vardot/8rGL/dev-tools-installs snippets.
• Download Varbase from https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase Drupal website.
• Install Varbase by following the Installing Varbase 7.x-3.x
• https://www.drupal.org/node/2570843 documentation page.
• Download Varbase Behat: https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-behat/releases

After that you can go through the following steps.

---

1. If you have a Varbase testing site at this location

/var/www/html/testing/docroot

---

2. Download the latest Behat package from https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-behat repository, and place it in the folder as below.

/var/www/html/testing/behat

3. Change the base url value in behat.varbase.yml file, to the domain or the local virtual domain.

  base_url:  'http://localhost/testing/docroot'

---

4. Go to ../behat/ Then run the following commands to install all required packages, Libraries from vendors.

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

---

5. Open a new terminal window then start selenium2 at the port 4445. You can change the worker selenium robot server and the port number by changing the parameter.

    "wd_host: 127.0.0.1:4445/wd/hub"

in the behat.varbase.yml file. or you can get the selenium stand alone server from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ then you could run this command in the same location in the terminal

$ java -jar selenium-*.jar -port 4445

You can Install and configure selenium server to run on the selenium worker server by using our command.

$ sh ./tools/install-selenium-server/install-selenium-server-2.53.1.sh

---

6. Run the behat command at ../behat/

$ bin/behat features/varbase/step2-apply-tests/01-website-base-requirements_user-registration_only-admins-login_v4-0.feature

================================================================================

Feature: Website Base Requirements - User Registration - Only admins login
As an anonymous user
I will not be able to register as a user in the website
So that I will need a site admin or super admin to add me to the website

  Background: 
    Given I am an anonymous user
  
  @local @development @staging @production 
  Scenario: Check that create new account options does not appear for anonymous users.
     When I go to "/user"
      And I wait
     Then I should not see "Create new account"
  
  @local @development @staging @production
  Scenario: Check that only admin can create an account.
     When I go to "/user/register"
      And I wait
     Then I should see "Access denied"
  
  @local @development @staging @production
  Scenario: Verify that anonymous users cannot access admin pages.

7. Run this command with the .feature file to run the Gherkin Script in it to the installed site.

$ bin/behat features/varbase/your-gherkin-feature.feature
$ bin/behat features/project-name/your-gherkin-feature.feature

---

8. Run this command to print all available step definitions

$ bin/behat -di

- use -dl to just list definition expressions.
- use -di to show definitions with extended info.
- use -d 'needle' to find specific definitions.

All Varbase custom step definitions are tagged with #varbase tag.

Example : after a run for bin/behat -di command.

  default | Then /^I should see image with the "([^"]*)" title text$/
          | #varbase : To Find an image with the title text attribute.
          | Example 1: Then I should see image with the "Flag Earth" title text
          | at `VarbaseContext::iShouldSeeImageWithTheTitleText()`

  default | Then /^I should see image with the "([^"]*)" alt text$/
          | #varbase : To Find an image with the alt text attribute.
          | Example 1: Then I should see image with the "Flag Earth" alt text
          | at `VarbaseContext::iShouldSeeImageWithTheAltText()`

================================================================================

Scenarios are tagged with the Behat tags of:

• @local = Local

• @development = Development server.

• @staging = Staging and testing server.

• @production = Production live server.

  So that we only run bin/behat --tags with the right tag for the environment.

  Example: ================================================================================

    $ bin/behat --tags '@development' features/varbase/

Which it will run Scenarios which has got the @development tag.

================================================================================

    $ bin/behat --tags '@staging' features/varbase/

Which it will run Scenarios which has got the @staging tag.

================================================================================

    $ bin/behat --tags '@production' features/varbase/

Which it will run Scenarios which has got the @production tag.

================================================================================

9. To see the report in HTML. Go and open this file in a browser. ../behat/reports/index.html You will see the latest report for latest run.

   if you want to custom a report you can add --format pretty --out std --format html --out reports/report-$( date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S' )

   to format and select your output.

   Example:

    $ bin/behat features/example.feature --format pretty --out std --format html --out reports/report-$( date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S' )

10. If you want to run all Gherkin Features over a new Varbase site. You will need to create the list of Testing users, and Add French, and Arabic languages to the site.

    ---

    You can run the following command:

    $ bin/behat features/varbase/ --format pretty --out std  --format html  --out reports/report-$( date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S' )

After that you can see the report in the ../behat/reports folder.

If you want to run the test in steps, if you are not interested in the
initialization and cleaning up after the test.

    $ bin/behat features/varbase/step1-init-tests
    $ bin/behat features/varbase/step2-apply-tests
    $ bin/behat features/varbase/step3-cleanup-tests

11. If you want to test the installation process feature, you will need to use the varbase Install config file, as you can see in the following command.

   $ bin/behat --config=behat.varbase-install.yml tools/install-varbase/default-installation.feature
