Behat Test Runner is essentially a Behat context class which provides steps for testing a Behat extension. You can put together a feature file and behat.yml configuration, than the test runner will start a second Behat process to evaluate the created feature file. This a fork of the original test suite which is used in the Magento2 Behat Extension. Differently to the original version, this fork is not supporting outdated PHP versions with the exception of PHP 7.4 and many projects still running on it.
Install by adding to your composer.json
:
composer require --dev seec/behat-test-runner
Include the context file in behat.yml
like this:
default:
suites:
default:
contexts:
- SEEC\BehatTestRunner\Context\TestRunnerContext
You can configure the working directory like this (optional):
default:
suites:
default:
contexts:
- SEEC\BehatTestRunner\Context\TestRunnerContext:
workingDirectory: path/to/your/working/dir # if not provided then a temporary working dir is autogenerated
Simply use the necessary steps from the context file to put together your feature.
An example:
Feature: Visiting a page on the website
In order to demonstrate how to use test runner
As a developer
I should open a page and verify the content of it
Background:
Given I have the file "index.html" in document root:
"""
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor amet.</h1>
</body>
</html>
"""
And I have a web server running on host "localhost" and port "8080"
And I have the feature:
"""
Feature: Test runner demo feature
Scenario:
Given I open the index page
Then I should see the content "Lorem ipsum" on the page in a h1 HTML tag
"""
And I have the context:
"""

Scenario: Visiting the index.html page
When I run Behat
Then I should not see a failing test
