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
  1. Install a Mahara site
  2. Launch the web server for testing

For example,

  1. 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 behat test site>';
  1. Initilise the behat environment
php test/behat/scripts/init.php
  1. Run the selenium server (optional)
java -jar /path/to/your/selenium/server/selenium-server-standalone-2.NN.N.jar
