It allows to build `system tests` for a Joomla site much faster providing a set of predefined tasks. In between the available functions you can find: - INSTALLATION: - install joomla - install Joomla removing Installation Folder - install Joomla Multilingual Site - ADMINISTRATOR: - do administrator login - do administrator logout - set error reporting to development - search for item - check for item existence - publish a module - setting a module position and publishing it - EXTENSION MANAGER - install extension from Folder - install extension from url - enable plugin - uninstall extension - search result plugin name - FRONTEND: - do frontend login - ADMINISTRATOR USER INTERFACE: - select option in chosen - select Option In Radio Field - select Multiple Options In Chosen - OTHERS: - check for php notices or warnings The Joomla Browser is constantly evolving and more methods are being added every month. To find a full list of them check the public methods at: Joomla Browser in action ------------------------ [](#joomla-browser-in-action) If you want to see a working example of JoomlaBrowser check weblinks tests: Using Instructions ------------------ [](#using-instructions) Update Composer.json file in your project, and download ### Download [](#download) ``` composer require joomla-projects/joomla-browser:dev-develop ``` ### Loading the Module in Codeception [](#loading-the-module-in-codeception) Finally make the following changes in Acceptance.suite.yml to add JoomlaBrowser as a Module. Your original `acceptance.suite.yml`probably looks like: ``` modules: enabled: - WebDriver - AcceptanceHelper config: WebDriver: url: 'http://localhost/joomla-cms3/' # the url that points to the joomla cms browser: 'firefox' window_size: 1024x768 capabilities: unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept' AcceptanceHelper: ... ``` You should remove the WebDriver module and replace it with the JoomlaBrowser module: ``` config: JoomlaBrowser: url: 'http://localhost/joomla-cms/' # the url that points to the joomla installation at /tests/system/joomla-cms browser: 'firefox' window_size: 1024x768 capabilities: unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept' username: 'admin' password: 'admin' database host: 'localhost' # place where the Application is Hosted #server Address database user: 'root' # MySQL Server user ID, usually root database password: '1234' # MySQL Server password, usually empty or root database name: 'dbname' # DB Name, at the Server database type: 'mysqli' # type in lowercase one of the options: MySQL\MySQLi\PDO database prefix: 'jos_' # DB Prefix for tables install sample data: 'Yes' # Do you want to Download the Sample Data Along with Joomla Installation, then keep it Yes sample data: 'Default English (GB) Sample Data' # Default Sample Data admin email: 'admin@mydomain.com' # email Id of the Admin language: 'English (United Kingdom)' # Language in which you want the Application to be Installed joomla folder: '/home/.../path to Joomla Folder' # Path to Joomla installation where we execute the tests AcceptanceHelper: ... ``` ### Code Style Checker [](#code-style-checker) To check automatically the code style execute the following commands in your Terminal window at the root of the repository: - `$ composer install` - `$ vendor/bin/phpcs --extensions=php -p --standard=vendor/joomla/coding-standards/Joomla src` ### Health Score 53 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance54 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity46 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community32 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
