Note: This is a fork maintained by SyliusLabs. The original package is
robertfausk/behat-panther-extension(on Packagist).

composer require --dev sylius-labs/behat-panther-extension
Usage example
- Add
Robertfausk\Behat\PantherExtension: ~to your behat.yml. - Use
panthersession inBehat\MinkExtension. - The extension will use options of
symfony/pantherby default. Have a look atPantherTestCaseTrait::$defaultOptionsfor this. - Following are some examples with all sessions using mink-panther-driver:
# in behat.yml extensions: Robertfausk\Behat\PantherExtension: ~ # no configuration here Behat\MinkExtension: javascript_session: javascript_chrome sessions: default: panther: ~ javascript: panther: options: ~ javascript_chrome: panther: options: browser: 'chrome' webServerDir: '%paths.base%/public' # your custom public dir javascript_firefox: panther: options: browser: 'firefox' javascript_with_all_options: panther: options: env: APP_ENV: 'dev' hostname: '127.0.0.1' kernel_options: ~ # unused by behat-panther-extension cause it does not extend KernelTestCase manager_options: connection_timeout_in_ms: 5000 request_timeout_in_ms: 120000
Example on how to pass arguments to ChromeDriver binary
See also https://chromedriver.chromium.org/logging
# in behat.yml enable logging extensions: Robertfausk\Behat\PantherExtension: ~ Behat\MinkExtension: javascript_session: javascript sessions: javascript: panther: manager_options: chromedriver_arguments: - --log-path=/var/www/html/chromedriver.log - --verbose
Example on how to test for a downloaded file
# in behat.yml ensure that chrome saves files to the destination you want extensions: Robertfausk\Behat\PantherExtension: ~ Behat\MinkExtension: javascript_session: javascript files_path: '%paths.base%/tests/files' sessions: javascript: panther: manager_options: capabilities: goog:chromeOptions: prefs: download.default_directory: '/var/www/html/tests/files/Downloads'
# acme_download.feature Feature: Acme files can be downloaded Background: Given there is no file in download directory # additionally setup your database entries etc. if needed @javascript Scenario: As an user with role Admin i can download an existing acme file Given I am authenticated as "admin@acme.de" And I am on "/acme-file-list" Then I wait for "acme.pdf" to appear When I click on test element "button-acme-download" Then I can find file "acme.pdf" in download directory
<?php #AcmeContext.php use Assert\Assertion; use Behat\Mink\Element\NodeElement; use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem; use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder; /** * @When /^I click on test element "([^"]*)"$/ * * @param string $locator */ public function iClickOnTestElement(string $locator): void { $btn = $this->getTestElement($locator); $btn->click(); } /** * @Given /^there is no file in download directory$/ */ public function thereIsNoFileinDownloadDirectory(): void { $finder = new Finder(); $fs = new Filesystem(); $fs->remove($finder->in($this->getDownloadDirectory())->files()); } /** * @Then /^I can find file "([^"]*)" in download directory$/ */ public function iCanFindFileInDownloadDirectory($filename) { $fs = new Filesystem(); $path = \sprintf('%s%s%s', $this->getDownloadDirectory(), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $filename); $this->spin( static function () use ($fs, $path): void { $isFileExisting = $fs->exists($path); Assertion::true($isFileExisting); }, ); Assertion::true($fs->exists($path)); } private function getDownloadDirectory(): string { return \sprintf('%s%sDownloads', $this->getMinkParameter('files_path'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); } private function getTestElement(string $dataTestLocator, int $tries = 25): NodeElement { return $this->getNodeElement("[data-test='$dataTestLocator']", $tries); } private function spin(\Closure $closure, ?int $tries = 25): ?NodeElement { for ($i = 0; $i <= $tries; $i++) { try { return $closure(); } catch (\Throwable $e) { if ($i === $tries) { throw $e; } } \usleep(100000); // 100 milliseconds } }
How to upgrade?
Have a look at the GitHub Releases for detailed information.
How to contribute?
Start docker-compose with php version of your choice. At the moment the following php versions can be used with docker-compose: php7.2, php7.3, php7.4, php8.0, php8.1, php8.2, php8.3 and php8.4.
E.g. you can start a container like this:
docker-compose up php8.2
Upgrade scenario lock files:
docker-compose run php8.2 composer update
Run phpunit tests:
docker-compose run php8.2 vendor/bin/phpunit
If you want to start up all containers at once and keep them running in background then run the following:
docker-compose up -d
If you want to execute tests for scenario symfony6 and php8.2 then run the following:
docker-compose run php8.2 composer scenario symfony6
docker-compose run php8.2 vendor/bin/bdi detect drivers
docker-compose run php8.2 vendor/bin/behat --config=tests/Behat/behat.yml
docker-compose run php8.2 vendor/bin/phpunit
Or if you want to execute tests for scenario symfony7 and php8.4 then run the following:
docker-compose run php8.4 composer scenario symfony7
docker-compose run php8.4 vendor/bin/bdi detect drivers
docker-compose run php8.4 vendor/bin/behat --config=tests/Behat/behat.yml
docker-compose run php8.4 vendor/bin/phpunit
The Behat 4 scenarios (symfony7_behat4, symfony8) require a PHP configuration file, so use
--config=tests/Behat/behat.php instead of --config=tests/Behat/behat.yml for those.
See also https://github.com/g1a/composer-test-scenarios for more information about scenarios.
