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

@kevin-schmitt

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

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

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

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?

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

Hey there! Working with Behat and Drupal. Looking to essentially replicate what they have for "userManager" in a new "groupManager". I've got it working, but all contexts when accessing "$this->getGroupManager" get their own object instead of accessing a shred object between them. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it!

I'm new to the group here, so HI! I just started going through the Behat documentation, and my results while following along differ from the Docs. I have Behat 3.8.1.

Hi there; Been reading here and there seems to be a whole lot of questions and no answers!!! Is there a community for behat where there are answers?

In one of my test I'm using scenario outline and in the table one of the value is A1X- behat show this in yellow and does not seem to recognize it as a parameters. I tried backslashing the - but it did not work. Any guidance?

@Jeemo_gitlab

@VictorTran-rc I can recommend https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/behat

@Jeemo_gitlab

@snowfrogblues I am running into a similar issue with a datestring (mm/dd/YYYY). When I debug the function, it is only getting the month portion of the string. I tried putting it in quotes instead of backslashing. I will try that next.

Christian Bolduc

@snowfrogblues

thank you. I might try this also.

Christian Bolduc

@snowfrogblues

@Jeemo_gitlab - It worked for me with the quotes. Hope it works for you. Cheers

@Jeemo_gitlab

@snowfrogblues Awesome!

Hey there :)

I made my company use behat for a large ecommerce platform :D However, I'm still new to it and I am wondering how would I write / organize my scenario for a specific feature : the search

We set "nodes". A node is a "node" which contains a product category and some filters for search bounded to it.

Do you have some examples for a search scenario? I mean just typing "Given I want to search for a product" - "When I enter <keyword>" - "Then the results must contain ...."

Seems relatively light

Hi All

Error: Call to a member function source() on null in Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver->getContent() (line 487 of /mnt/gfs/home/utcfs/behat/vendor/behat/mink-selenium2-driver/src/Selenium2Driver.php)

getting this error on Behat when executing test cases on Drupal 7

Jee Elmore

@Jeemo_gitlab

@rikemSen Have you followed any tutorials for behat scenario writing?

@abhi2950 Do you have selenium running in the background?

Bit Wombat

@bitwombat

What have I done wrong if behat just dumps the context steps to STDIO rather than a php file?

Bit Wombat

@bitwombat

I see the ContextSnippetAppender but can't see why it wouldn't be invoked.

Bit Wombat

@bitwombat

Oh, der, --append-snippets
Pretty sure this used to be the default?
Anyway, I wish the chat were more alive! Love behat. Used it extensively in my last project (2 years ago).

Hello, I am trying to automate behat test via Gitlab CI. Issue I've got is that in CI and in PHPStorm (executing same tests) I always get WebDriver\Exception\NoSuchElement: Element not found with xpath, //html . From stack trace, I am not able to find anything. When I try to run locally (docker) via terminal test passes and everything works, but if I try to run then through PHPStorm I get the same error as in CI. I can't figure out what is wrong, it looks like selenium2 is not working correctly. And screenshots generated by test (when using PHPStorm and CI) are 0 byte.
My behat.yml file looks like:

default:
    suites:
        default:
            path: '%paths.base%/features'
            contexts:
                - App\Tests\Behat\FeatureContext
                - Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext

    extensions:
        FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
            bootstrap: tests/bootstrap.php
            kernel:
                environment: test

local_ff:
    extensions:
        FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
            bootstrap: tests/bootstrap.php
            kernel:
                environment: test
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            base_url: http://behattest.test
            browser_name: firefox
            sessions:
                firefox:
                    selenium2:
                        wd_host: "http://selenium-hub:4444/wd/hub"
                        browser: firefox
                        capabilities:
                            browser: firefox

When running in local terminal (docker) and using local_ff profile it works as expected

@George2023
sure, setup a test system, use facebook webdriver and selenium and write some features. You could also use guzzle and directly make http calls if you prefer.

@rikemSen great to hear you are using this... maybe https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius/tree/master/features might be of some general help... but specifically about your search question... I don't see why it's "too light"... I mean you might have a single scenario like that... or you might use a scenario outline to have many examples with the same steps but different input/output expected
