• Behat 3.x or higher

Through composer

The easiest way to keep your suite updated is to use Composer:

Install with composer:

$ composer require --dev elkan/behatformatter

Install using composer.json

Add BehatFormatter to the list of dependencies inside your composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "behat/behat": "3.*@stable",
        "elkan/behatformatter": "v1.0.*",
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "bin/"
    }
}

Then simply install it with composer:

$ composer install --dev --prefer-dist

You can read more about Composer on its official webpage.

Basic usage

Activate the extension by specifying its class in your behat.yml:

# behat.yml
default:
  suites:
    ... # All your awesome suites come here
  
  formatters: 
    html:
      output_path: %paths.base%/build/
      
  extensions:
    elkan\BehatFormatter\BehatFormatterExtension:
      projectName: BehatTest
      name: html
      renderer: Twig,Behat2
      file_name: Index
      print_args: true
      print_outp: true
      loop_break: true
      show_tags: true

Configuration

• output_path - The location where Behat will save the HTML reports. The path defined here is relative to %paths.base% and, when omitted, will be default set to the same path.
• renderer - The engine that Behat will use for rendering, thus the types of report format Behat should output (multiple report formats are allowed, separate them by commas). Allowed values are:
• Behat2 for generating HTML reports like they were generated in Behat 2.
• Twig A new and more modern format based on Twig.
• Minimal An ultra minimal HTML output.
• file_name - (Optional) Behat will use a fixed filename and overwrite the same file after each build. By default, Behat will create a new HTML file using a random name ("renderer name"_"date hour").
• projectName - (Optional) Give your report a page titel.
• projectDescription - (Optional) Include a project description on your testreport.
• projectImage - (Optional) Include a project image in your testreport.
• print_args - (Optional) If set to true, Behat will add all arguments for each step to the report. (E.g. Tables).
• print_outp - (Optional) If set to true, Behat will add the output of each step to the report. (E.g. Exceptions).
• loop_break - (Optional) If set to true, Behat will add a separating break line after each execution when printing Scenario Outlines.
• show_tags - (Optional) If set to true, Behat will add tags when printing Scenario's and features.

Screenshots

To generate screenshots in your testreport you have to change your FeatureContext.php:

From:

# FeatureContext.php
class FeatureContext extends MinkContext
{
...
}

To:

# FeatureContext.php
class FeatureContext extends elkan\BehatFormatter\Context\BehatFormatterContext
{
...
}

Extra function: Placeholders

It is possible to use placeholders in feature steps. Add a BeforeStep, BeforeScenario or BeforeSuite action to your context file containing a setTransformValues() action. You can add custom placeholders by using an array.

example context rules:

    /**
     * @BeforeScenario
     */
    public function createTransformValues(){
        $this->setTransformValues(array(
            "<test>" => "A simple test value",
            "<timestamp>" => time()
        ));
    }

Example feature:

  @test
  Scenario: Sign up for the newsletter
    When I fill in "email" with "test+<timestamp>[e-mail]"
    And I press "Sign up"

Example Output:

  @test
  Scenario: Sign up for the newsletter
    When I fill in "email" with "[e-mail]"
    And I press "Sign up"

Todo:

• save html on failures
• save REST responses in testreport
• JSON output - if wanted?
• colors in print stylesheet
• custom footer image/text
