Introduction
Like Moodle [1], we integrate Behat, a behavioural driven development (BDD) tool for describing Mahara's features and automatically testing them.
Getting started guide
This guide will show you how to start running Behat tests on a Mahara site
- Requirements
- PHP 5.3+
- A standalone web server. If you are using PHP 4+, you can run the built-in PHP server insteads.
- Selenium Server (optional).
- Instructions to run a test
Step 1. Install a Mahara site The current branch of mahara with behat is on [email protected]:~ngson2000/mahara/ngson2000s-mahara.git
Launch the web server for testing
For example, launch the built-in PHP server
cd <mahara docroot> php -S localhost:8000
The URL of the test site will be http://localhost:8000
Step 2. Edit htdocs/config.php adding the following lines
// Behat config $cfg->behat_dbprefix = 'behat_'; // must not empty $cfg->behat_dataroot = '<path to behat dataroot>'; $cfg->behat_wwwroot = '<URL to the test site>';
Step 3. Edit test/behat/behat.yml changing the base_url
base_url: <URL to the test site>>
Step 4. Initilise the behat environment
php test/behat/scripts/init.php
Step 5. Run the selenium server in another terminal(optional)
java -jar /path/to/your/selenium/server/selenium-server-standalone-2.NN.N.jar
Step 6. Run a test suite
cd test/behat bin/behat
This will run tests for all features in the folder test/behat/features
