\#Drupal Variable

Codeception module to allow testing of drupal variables.

e.g.

```
// Assert that the target site has variable "clean_url" set to 1
$I->seeVariable("clean_url", 1);

// Set a variable.
$I->haveVariable("clean_url", 0);

// Delete a variable.
$I->dontHaveVariable("clean_url");

// Retrieve a variable value.
$value = $I->getVariable("clean_url");
```

There are three ways of accessing the variable values.

- Bootstrapped - bootstrap the locally installed drupal instance and use variable\_get/set().
- DirectConnection - use PDO to query the database directly.
- Drush - use drush to get/set variables.

\#Install

Install using composer, using git repository (for now).

```
"require": {
    "ixis/codeception-drupal-variable": "~0.3"
}

```

\#Configure

Add 'DrupalVariable' module to the suite configuration.

```
class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - DrupalVariable

```

\##Bootstrapped

```
DrupalVariable:
  class: Codeception\Module\Drupal\Variable\VariableStorage\Bootstrapped
```

Required config variables:

- `drupal_root`. This is the path the local instance of the drupal site you wish to set/get variables on.
    - e.g. `/home/sites/www.example.com`

\##Direct connection to database

```
DrupalVariable:
  class: Codeception\Module\Drupal\Variable\VariableStorage\DirectConnection
```

Required config variables:

- `dsn` - dsn to the instance of the drupal site db.
    - e.g. `mysql:host=localhost;dbname=drupal`
- `user` - the db user
- `password` - the db password

\##Drush

```
DrupalVariable:
  class: Codeception\Module\Drupal\Variable\VariableStorage\Drush
```

Required config variables:

- `drush_alias` - the drush alias to the site under test.
    - e.g. `@mysite.local`
