FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package behat-laravel-extension
This extension offers an incredibly simple (and fast) way to begin testing and driving your Laravel applications with Behat. Some benefits include:
- Fast: It doesn't depend on anything like Goutte, so it offers a super-fast way to test your UI. You don't even need to setup a host to run your tests.
- Refresh: Laravel is automatically rebooted before each scenario (so nothing like user sessions will be persisted).
- Environments: Specifying custom environment files (like the
.envone) for different app environments is a little tricky in Laravel. This extension handles that for you automatically. - Access Laravel: You instantly have access to Laravel (things like facades and such) from your
FeatureContextfile.
This repository is forked from laracasts/Behat-Laravel-Extension because it was no longer being maintained.
Credits go to Jeffrey Way for originally creating this extension.
1. Install
Require the package as a dev dependency via Composer.
composer require --dev cevinio/behat-laravel-extensionThis will also pull in Behat and Mink.
2. Create the Behat.yml Configuration File
Next, within your project root, create a behat.yml file, and add:
Here, is where we reference the Laravel extension, and tell Behat to use it as our default session.
You may pass an optional parameter, env_path (currently commented out above) to specify the name of the environment file that should be referenced from your tests.
The default is empty and will keep Laravel standard behavior to look for .env. If you want a special environment file you can set it for example to .env.behat. This file should, like the standard .env file in your project root, contain any special environment variables for your tests (such as a special acceptance test-specific database).
It is also possible to specify an alternative bootstrap file by setting the optional parameter bootstrap_path (this defaults to bootstrap/app.php). Behat's %paths.base% will always be prepended to this path.
3. Setting up FeatureContext
Run, from the root of your app
vendor/bin/behat --initIt should set
features/bootstrap/FeatureContext.phpAt this point you should set it to extend MinkContext and implement LaravelAwareContext.
You can use the LaravelAware trait to get access to the Application via $this->app().
4. Write Some Features
You're all set to go! Start writing some features.
Note: if you want to leverage some of the Mink helpers in your
FeatureContextfile, then be sure to extendBehat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext.
