Get the code** Go to folder where you want to install Behat-Launcher and clone the sourcecode through git command: ``` cd /var/www git clone git@github.com:alexandresalome/behat-launcher.git cd behat-launcher ``` **2. Install dependencies** Behat-Launcher works with [composer](http://getcomposer.org), a tool to manage dependencies. Download it in behat-launcher folder: ``` cd /var/www/behat-launcher curl http://getcomposer.org/installer | php php composer.phar install ``` This command will download dependencies in **vendor/** folder to make them available to the application. Next you will need to install the assets using Bower and Grunt. You can install these tools using npm, the NodeJS package manager: ``` npm install -g bower npm install -g grunt-cli ``` You can now install the assets: ``` bower install npm install grunt ``` **3. Configuration** In this folder, create a file **config.php** where you will configure your database and your projects. You can use the **config.php.dist** file to get an exhaustive list of configuration features. ``` cd /var/www/behat-launcher cp config.php.dist config.php vi config.php # (or notepad, or whatever you use to edit this file) ``` **4. Database** When you're done, initialize your database: ``` php behat-launcher init-db ``` **5. WebServer** Now, configure your web server to make the application accessible through your webserver. Make it serve the **web** folder: ``` DocumentRoot /var/www/behat-launcher/web ``` Make sure web server has write access to *data/* folder. **6. Background job** To run tests, Behat-Launcher needs to run jobs in background. Start it using: ``` cd /var/www/behat-launcher php behat-launcher run ``` **If you are using Linux**, take a look at [this gist](https://gist.github.com/OwlyCode/9661213) to daemonize it. This command will execute until you stop it. If you want command to stop after all units are ran, pass the **--stop-on-finish** option: ``` cd /var/www/behat-launcher php behat-launcher run --stop-on-finish ``` You're done! Access your application through web server. Given you use Apache and only have this application set up, access Changelog --------- [](#changelog) **v0.1** - Restart one test, all tests or failed only - Run multiple tests concurrently - Relaunch whole run or just failed, or stop execution - Override behat.yml configuration values - Record additional formats (html, failed, progress, ...) - View output while process is running ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity44 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
