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 panther-actions
Panther Actions
This project can be used for two reasons:
- Use Symfony Panther inside Behat.
- Extend Symfony Panther with a number of additional actions.
At first, we developed this package to replace Behat Mink. Mink has a history of slow updates and this is troublesome when you want to upgrade your project to the newest PHP version. We created a Behat Context with the same signature as a lot of often used Behat Mink steps. This can help you to replace Behat Mink with Symfony Panther, while still using the expressive syntax of Behat.
On a newer project we didn't want to use Behat and went with PHPUnit. There we started to use Symfony Panther, but quickly found out that we were missing a lot of actions that we got used to, while using Behat Mink. Therefore, we modified this package to be used inside a project without Behat as well.
What is Symfony Panther?
Panther is a convenient standalone library to scrape websites and to run end-to-end tests using real browsers.
Test coverage
A number of unit tests have been added to ensure the functionality. Not all functions are unit-tested. We will add more test coverage later on. For easy development and CI the docker and docker compose configurations have been added as well.
Using this without Symfony Framework
Symfony Panther can be used without the Symfony framework. This package can be used without the Symfony framework as well.
