do you have any articles or link for using data-driven/parameterization approach
in behat? Thanks in advance !

pmaasz

@pmaasz

https://docs.behat.org/en/latest/user_guide/writing_scenarios.html you could start with Sceanrio Outlines or Backgrounds

How can we get a field when Form field is not defined with id|name|label|value|placeholder ?

PurHur

@PurHur

how is it defined

PurHur

@PurHur

that is a html element that simulated a field. You have to work with that html

Gazal Shukla

@gazalshukla

Okay,Thanks

any links do you have for ref?

Hi everyone !
I'd like to know if there is a way in behat to create a configuration to limit the action time of each step. It will be likely the "Set selenium speed" from Robot framework. :)

pmaasz

@pmaasz

Robot is python, right?

Alexandre Vialatte

@Matelight35_gitlab

YEs exactly but I'd like to know if, in behat, we are able to reproduce the same behavior ?

pmaasz

@pmaasz

I don't think it is natively possible but I also never needed such behaviour. You could look into writing a small extension for that.

Hi, anyone can help me with a behat+symfony+mocking problem? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60542538/mock-symfony-service-in-behat-functional-test

PurHur

@PurHur

did you try to start a proxy beside your test runner for that api?

matlar83

@matlar83

I would be difficult using a proxy since I need the fake API to return different data for each different scenario

Hello, I'm trying to rollback database transaction by "DatabaseTransactions.php" methods. I have no Exceptions but nothing gonna happened and new records still in my DB

PurHur

@PurHur

that depends on how you test all the things

mysql doenst support transactions so you cannot run a "real testrun" only in unit tests is works (i assume you are using laravel/databasetransactions)

Матвей Болисов

@mbolisov_twitter

I am using behat-laravel-extension/databasetransaction. Thx for answer

Symfony 5 and PHP 7.4 support in the newest FriendsOfBehat’s SymfonyExtension release: https://twitter.com/pamilme/status/1246770622677557248 :tada:

pmaasz

@pmaasz

wasn't the support for Symfony 5 and PHP7.4 released two month ago?

Kamil Kokot

@pamil

It was merged then, but the stable release with it has been published now.

pmaasz

@pmaasz

ah ok

I had updated instantly when it was merged

Hi all,

I'm running into some issues with Behat/Mink/Selenium2/Firefox.
The situation is that I have an IFrame with only a src attribute, I managed to update the id & the name property of the IFrame with a JS script in my test-step.

But when I call switchToIFrame with that generated attribute I'm getting the following error: "data did not match any variant of untagged enum FrameId at line x column x"

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction or room?

I didn't see a way to override a method with a stub in behat. I asked a question about it on stackoverflow but thought posting here would be good too https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61401506/how-can-i-stub-out-an-api-call-method-in-behat

pmaasz

@pmaasz

if i understand you correctly you have to authenticate the user at your api? if you have an endpoint for that like /login_check or otherwise you can write a Scenario for that in Gherkin or PHP

Michael Lundquist

@user-name-is-taken

Yeah, for me to make/test API calls to the quickbooks API I need a user to authenticate which isn't realistic in a unit test. The way I've seen to get around this is to override the methods that make API calls and make them return hard coded data. Is there a way to do this in behat?

Michael Lundquist

@user-name-is-taken

My code is here if this helps https://gitlab.com/greenhouseaffectors/php

Michael Lundquist

@user-name-is-taken

Never mind, I think I figured it out.

@dumitriucristian

Hi, Please help me if you can...
I use symfon5 with friends of Behat and I am unable to run only one suites.
Is always ask me to define steps in other context.
This is my yml :

default:
    suites:
        login:
            contexts:
                - Api\LoginContext

        register:
            contexts:
                - Api\RegisterContext

    extensions:
        FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension: ~
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            sessions:
                symfony:
                    symfony: ~

I wish to run only register but throw "register suite has undefined steps. Please choose the context to generate snippets:" and ask me to define steps from login context

Cristian

@dumitriucristian

solved thanks

@Anyqax

hi, is it possible to define dependencies between scenarios or suites, e.g. run scenario B only when scenario A succeeded?

kevin-schmitt

@kevin-schmitt

Hello @Anyqax , question is why? test with dependencies that can change state is dangerous. Why you need that?

Kamil Kokot

@pamil

Good things ahead! https://twitter.com/pamilme/status/1267497336332259330

Hopefully, Behat will be maintained a bit more: Behat/Behat#1296 :)

I was watching a video with Ciaran McNulty which basically advised against using infrastructure in your tests; I get that every situation is different, but I am a bit confused when it comes specifically to testing infrastructure components -- say you're writing a table module that manipulates data in a specific way .... or something. Anyway, the point is, if you want to be concrete about an example you could say Given I have a table named 'table' in a PG database with data ... and you can write a specific implementation for your PG database; so if your component uses PDO, would you instantiante a PDO instance in your test with a DSN pointing to a test db? In a situation where this could be swapped out for another DSN connecting to a different type of database (with it's own implementation) you'd set all that up a second time? This just seems like the wrong way to go about things and I'm not sure how to go about it.

Hi I am Saravanan from India, I am pretty much new to Behaviour testing
I was asked it do a POC on behaviour testing on magento 2.3.4 (PHP e-commerce framework) based modules. So is there any docs I have seen through ( https://behat-magento-2-extension.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/quickstart.html ). But I don't know how to start with it

Anyqax

@Anyqax

Hello @Anyqax , question is why? test with dependencies that can change state is dangerous. Why you need that?

I'm not refering to state dependencies between tests but rather logical "dependencies"
cases where e.g. when a simpler test A fails, it's just unneccessary to execute a more elabore test B because it's expected to fail as well and obfuscates the cause in the test result output

@rgeraads

hey, I inherited a huge behat test suite and it contains the behat/symfony2-extension, and I want to move away from KernelAwareContext by injecting the services instead of calling the container, but I'm getting stuck where some scenarios apparently depend on some state?

Randy Geraads

@rgeraads

oh I guess I'm requesting the Symfony2Extension migration guide :) Behat/Behat#1296
