InteractiveSolutions/Zf-behat
=============================

[](#interactivesolutionszf-behat)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

A set of predefined step definitions to handle the most common cases when testing a REST API through Zend Framework.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Add it to your `behat.yml` file as follows:

```
default:
  extensions:
    InteractiveSolutions\ZfBehat:
      # configurable parameters

```

The available configurable parameters for this module are:

- `config_file` - path to your autoload configuration file for your api (default `config/application.config.php`).
- `api_url` - base url of your api (default `http://localhost`).
- `mailcatcher_url` - the url to your mailcatcher server (default `http://mailcatcher:1080`).

Enable the module `InteractiveSolutions\ZfBehat` in your autoload config file.

Available contexts
------------------

[](#available-contexts)

The module contains a bunch of different steps for various types of testing, all of which can be seen below.

*Please see each individual context for further reference*.

### ApiContext

[](#apicontext)

This context contains all step definitions for various api calls.

### BernardContext

[](#bernardcontext)

Context containing basic steps for testing an application using bernard to run background tasks.

### DatabaseContext

[](#databasecontext)

Manages the Doctrine entity manager. Contains a single step that should be run as a background in each feature file (`Given a clean database`). This step drops and rebuilds the entire database, allowing a clean database before each scenario.

### EntityFixtureContext

[](#entityfixturecontext)

Contains various steps for setting up a scenario by creating entities.

### MailcatcherContext

[](#mailcatchercontext)

Manages mail testing using the specified `mailcatcher_url`. Useful for testing if activation emails (and similar) are sent.

### ZfrOAuthContext

[](#zfroauthcontext)

Contains steps needed for zfr-oauth authentication/authorization.

Configuring default parameters
------------------------------

[](#configuring-default-parameters)

Paste the `interactive-solutions.zf-behat.global.php.dist` into your config.

`UserOptions` are used to specify default parameters for users in the steps defined in the *ZfrOAuthContext*.

```
UserOptions::class => [
    //The user entity class to use
    'userEntityClass' => UserEntity::class,
    'defaultUserProperties' => [
        'firstName' => 'First',
        'lastName'  => 'Last',
        // password field is automatically bcrypted when entity is generated
        'password'  => '12345',
        'createdAt' => new DateTime(),
    ],
],
```

`EntityOptions` are used to specify default parameters for entities created and manages through the *EntityFixtureContext* and *ApiContext*.

```
EntityOptions::class => [
    // fill in the entity keys and their corresponding route/default values
    'entities' => [
        'match' => [
            // aliases are used to provide a better flow in your scenarios
            'aliases' => [
                'matches',
            ],
            'entity'  => MatchEntity::class,
            'route'  => 'matches'
            'defaultProperties' => [
                'type'        => 'SinglePlayer',
                'winner'      => 1,
                'winnerScore' => 1337,
                'finishedAt'  => new DateTime(),
            ]
        ]
    ]
]
```

Things to note with `EntityOptions`

- route is automatically prefixed with `/`, so `matches` becomes `/matches`
- aliases are used to create an alias for a configured entity
- defaultProperties are also used as default parameters when sending api requests

Using aliases in TableNodes or PyStringNode
-------------------------------------------

[](#using-aliases-in-tablenodes-or-pystringnode)

```
    Given an existing "TYPE" created with static method "create" with alias "TYPE1"
    When I add a new "TYPE" with:
    """
      {
        "clinicId": "%Alias:FieldName%"
      }
    """
```

If Alias does exist, %Alias:FieldName% is replaced with the FieldName of the Alias entity

You can also reference only the alias, if so, it will use the primary key of the entity.
