Docksal expects your Behat tests to be in tests/behat
folder of the project repo.
tests/behat \_ bin/behat \_ behat.yml \_ composer.json \_ composer.lock
See Drupal 7 sample project repo for a working example.
Assuming you are using Behat Drupal Extension add the following profile in your behat.yml
file:
# Docker profile.
# For use inside the CLI container in Docksal.
docker:
extensions:
Behat\MinkExtension:
# URL of the site when accessed inside Docksal.
base_url: http://hello-world.docksal
selenium2:
wd_host: http://browser.hello-world.docker:4444/wd/hub
# Stick with chrome by default. It's 2x faster than firefox or phantomjs (your results may vary).
browser_name: chrome
Drupal\DrupalExtension:
drupal:
# Site docroot inside Docksal.
drupal_root: /var/www/docroot
drush:
# Site docroot inside Docksal.
root: /var/www/docroot
This will configure Behat for use with Docksal.
Important note
base_url: http://hello-world.docksal
and wd_host: http://browser.hello-world.docker:4444/wd/hub
should be configured based on your docker-compose.yml
settings for VIRTUAL_HOST
in the web container definition and DOMAIN_NAME
in the browser container definition.
Tests can be launched with fin
(Docksal Shell):
fin behat
This will download composer dependencies and run behat with the docker profile.
Basic configuration (see behat.common.yml) uses goutte as the default driver. Goutte is a very basic browser emulator. It is much faster than real browsers, but also very limited. It can make HTTP requests, but does not parse CSS, execute JS or do any rendering.
Goutte can be used in many cases and does not require additional configuration/installation.
If your tests require javascript support, selenium2-driver should be used. You can set selenium2-driver as the default one.
Selenium2 works with real browsers, using them as zombies for testing purposes. You get a standard, feature reach, real browser, with CSS styling, JS and AJAX execution - all supported out of the box.
The easiest way to enable Selenium support is to use stock Selenium docker images.
To do this, update docker-compose.yml
file in your project folder as follows.
# selenium2 node
# Uncomment the service definition section below and the link in the web service above to start using selenium2 driver for Behat tests requiring JS support.
browser:
hostname: browser
image: selenium/standalone-chrome
ports:
- "4444"
environment:
- DOMAIN_NAME=drupal7.browser.docker
You can also use Firefox image: selenium/standalone-firefox
After updating docker-compose.yml
you have to tell Behat to use Selenium.
Add your selenium configuration in behat.yml
(environment variable DOMAIN_NAME
is used as selenium2 wd_host
).
Example:
# Docker profile.
# For use inside the CLI container in Docksal.
docker:
extensions:
Behat\MinkExtension:
# URL of the site when accessed inside Docksal.
base_url: http://drupal7.docksal
selenium2:
wd_host: http://drupal7.browser.docker:4444/wd/hub
# Stick with chrome by default. It's 2x faster than firefox or phantomjs (your results may vary).
browser_name: chrome
Drupal\DrupalExtension:
drupal:
# Site docroot inside Docksal.
drupal_root: /var/www/docroot
drush:
# Site docroot inside Docksal.
root: /var/www/docroot
If you use Selenium with a browser in a container, you can receive test screenshots but you cannot see the browser itself. Sometimes it is very useful to watch tests running in the browser (e.g. when you are creating a new test and want to see how it performs).
In such cases VNC can be used.
- Install VNC client on your computer (there are many version for all platforms).
- Update
docker-compose.yml
file in your project folder:
# selenium2 node
# Uncomment the service definition section below and the link in the web service above to start using selenium2 driver for Behat tests requiring JS support.
browser:
hostname: browser
image: selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
ports:
- "4444"
- "5900:5900"
environment:
- DOMAIN_NAME=drupal7.browser.docker
You have to use selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
or selenium/standalone-firefox-debug
images. They both include a VNC server.
Use localhost:5900
as the host and secret
as the password in your VNC client.
Now if you connect with the VNC client and run behat test, you will be able to see tests running in the browser inside the container.
Note: If you are working with several project concurrently, it is a good idea to have a separate port per project (e.g. 5901:5900
, 5902:5900
, etc.)
It is possible to connect PhpStorm with the cli
container and run behat tests from within PhpStorm.
PhpStorm uses ssh to connect to and use remote interpreters and tools.
-
Add the following line in
docker-compose.yml
to expose ssh-server in thecli
container:cli: ... ports: - "2221:22" ...
-
Update container configuration with
fin up
. -
You should now be able to connect to the
cli
container via ssh. Use usernamedocker
and pasworddocker
:ssh docker@localhost -p 2223
Note: If you are working with several project concurrently, it is a good idea to have a separate port per project (e.g. 2222:22
, 2223:22
, etc.)
Open settings (menu item File->Settings...). In the opened window on the left side select item Build, Execution, Deployment->Deployment:
Create new SFTP connection and fill-out the form. Don't forget to fill-out Web server root URL.
Press Test SFTP connection... button and if everything is ok, you will see that test is successful.
On the second tab you should to check and correct mapping:
Local path is path to your project on the host machine. Deployment path is /var/www
Open settings (menu item File->Settings...). In the opened window on the left side select item Languages & Frameworks->PHP:
To add a new interpreter click on ... button on Interpreter: line.
In the opened window add a new interpreter and choose Deployment configuration option and deployment server from select list (it should be server from previous step).
Open settings (menu item File->Settings...). In the opened window on the left side select item Languages & Frameworks->PHP->Behat:
Add a new PHP interpreter for Behat (it should be the interpreter from previous step).
Path to Behat is the path in the cli
container - ``/var/www/tests/behat/bin/behat`
Default configuration file: /var/www/tests/behat/behat.yml
Check that your behat.yml
contains wd_host
for selenium in Behat\MinkExtension
part:
It should be the same as in behat.common.yml
for docker
part.
Open Run/Debug Configurations (menu item Run->Edit Configurations...). In the opened window on the left side add new Behat configuration:
Choose Test Runner option Defined in the configuration file.
On the PhpStorm panel choose Behat debug configuration and run it:
If everything is ok, you will see a window with tests result (all tests are run in this case):
You can re-run any scenario from this window. If you click on scenario or test, PhpStorm will open window with this scenario/test.
You can also open folder with Behat features (tests/behat/features
directory in your project) and
run any feature tests by right clicking on it and choosing Run 'feature-name' option.
You can use selenium from your host machine instead of the selenium in a container.
Selenium Standalone Server is available here.
WebDriver for Chrome is available here.
Run selenium with Chrome webdriver:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/path/to/webdriver/chromedriver
By default it is running on port 4444
, which can be verified by openning http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html
in a browser.
Update behat.yml
(set wd_host
to point to the host machine):
# Local overrides to the default profile
default:
extensions:
Behat\MinkExtension:
# URL of the site when accessed locally.
base_url: http://drupal7.docksal
# Configure browser to be used. Browser must be available on wd_host.
browser_name: chrome
selenium2:
wd_host: http://192.168.10.1:4444/wd/hub/static/resource/hub
...
192.168.10.1
is your machine's IP in Docksal subnet.
