How do I create UI Maps for a page? Need to be able to tell Behat how to click a button or enter text in a box or choose a dropdown and I don 't know all the definitions of the objects on the page

@waynehazleguidance Hi, Please excuse me if I got your question incorrect. But if you are asking how to find an element on any page - there are locators like css, id , xpath etc; which help identifying an element on the page. If you are asking how to the pass elements to predefined contexts like in mink context - you don't have worry much about defining elements your self using locators, instead just pass in appropriate hints related to the element as needed by the context.

Hi all, My Behat tests stop interim if any scenario fails in a feature file. Instead I want to run the whole suite of tests just marking the failed and passed scenarios. Is there a way/configuration in Behat to continue tests on failure of a scenario? -- Thanks

@stof

@suswari actually, Behat has an option to stop the execution on the first failure, but it is off by default. So check your config file

@suswari

@stof Thanks for you reply, Let me check that

Anyone using Behat with Drupal 8?

We are trying to debug doobie, a D7 module that uses the php behat suite, and we're looking for some tips. URLs seem to be mangled a bit on the way into the Behat DSL engine.

Hey, I am trying to use a DI container in Behat Contexts. At first, I used a ContextInitializer and called a setDIContainer() method, which works, but is messy and uses a lot of boilerplate code.

What I am now trying is using the ContainerBuilder that is passed to the extension, and filling it with my own services.yaml

Parameters work ok, but services are ignored.

Any ideas?

Ghost

@ghost~5b5995f1d73408ce4fa26375

:-O Ha, what? You can just paste your services.yaml in the behat.yaml? That is so cool!

Why is that not documented anywhere? I had to debug Behat for an hour now to stumble across that feature after several hours of trying to find other ways.

I will write a blog post on this now (german, though), maybe save some other guys a few hours of searching.

hi all, anyone here?

Douglas Reith

@redthor

new to behat - using symfony 4 with dotenv .env - is there a standard practice for loading the values in .env into the behat environment so my test cases don't fail?

Douglas Reith

@redthor

ok, so I worked it out, features/bootstrap/bootstrap.php is loading DotEnv but only if APP_ENV is not defined, I unset that in my local environment and now all is fine

@tox2ik

Is there a way to force behat to write exceptions / errors / notices to the configured (php.ini) error_log instead (or in addition to) of rendering them in the output?

Hi, I'm new to behat! I'm using transformers to get :card, :card1 and :card2. With this regular expression /^:card(\d*)$/ but not working.

I've seen "exercise" mentioned in a few places around behat code and also some of the docs. What is it exactly? I couldn't find full documentation explaining it.

Ciaran McNulty

@ciaranmcnulty

beforeExercise hook runs before the first suite

And afterExercise after the end of the last suite

Christian Sciberras

@uuf6429

ok, so exercise is a bit like a whole "profile" in behat.yml terms?

Ciaran McNulty

@ciaranmcnulty

Yeah the whole shebang

Christian Sciberras

@uuf6429

Thanks, good to know! My next question, if I may: I'm trying to set up some fixtures setup/teardown in before/after feature.

The problem is that the hook has to be a static method.

Since my context receives some dependencies (which may have to be passed to the fixture), I won't be able to pass them during these two hooks.

So I went with a different approach which stinks of a hack.

In beforeScenario I check if the scenario is the first one and if it is, then set up the fixture.

Likewise, in afterScenario, if it is the last one, I teardown the fixture.

Should I be concerned or is it passable?

Ciaran McNulty

@ciaranmcnulty

That’s acceptable I think. The context is not instantiated until the scenario so they have to be static. Possibly we should support auto wiring in beforeScenario hooks if we do not already

I am a beginner, how can install and configure behat in a project?

@acdpro9x_twitter

I learning behat, but I difficult to understand pystrings. I don't know how to use it ?

What's the right Behat\Testwork\EventDispatcher\Event\ event for start and finish of a feature?

Hi ! I am new to Behat, trying to understand if Behat can be used to write evil stories (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Agile_Software_Development:_Don%27t_Forget_EVIL_User_Stories) .... has anyone seen this being used to perform security testing ?

Also are there any lessons learned/gotchas you can share as part of getting Behat setup within the SDLC of your organization ? any resource would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Christian Sciberras

@uuf6429

They look like regular stories to me. You just need a different set of step definitions.

Raaghav Srinivasan

@raags90_twitter

thanks ! fair point, was curious to see if anyone has taken this approach for security and has come across any issues/challenges... does integrating behat into the sdlc involve any code level changes on the application code base in order to support the tests ? or is it something which can be done standalone ?

Christian Sciberras

@uuf6429

If someone develops a context to provide your steps, then you don't need any code. But this is unlikely, especially in this case.

Behat doesn't provide navigation, for example. It's provided by mink instead.
