Transmogrifier is a tool to help setup your database fixtures before running your tests.

This is repository contains the Transmogrifier Extension for Behat.

This allows you to use Transmogrifier directly from your Behat `.feature` files!

Adding the extension will activate a few new Gherkin commands to help you initialize your database testing fixtures.

Installing the extension through composer
-----------------------------------------

[](#installing-the-extension-through-composer)

Open your `composer.json` file, and add this to the `require` section:

```
"linkorb/transmogrifierextension": "dev-master"
```

Enabling the Behat extension
----------------------------

[](#enabling-the-behat-extension)

Edit your `features/bootstrap/FeatureContext.php` file, and add the following line to the `__construct` method:

```
$this->useContext(
    'transmogrifier',
    new \LinkORB\TransmogrifierExtension\TransmogrifierContext($parameters)
);
```

### How to use the extension in your .feature files

[](#how-to-use-the-extension-in-your-feature-files)

You can use the following new syntax in your `.feature` files:

```
    Scenario: Applying a yml dataset to the `test` database
        Given I connect to database "test"
        When I apply dataset "user.yml"
        Then I should have "2" records in the "user" table
```

This example scenario will tell Behat to connect to the database `test`, load dataset `user.yml`, and apply it. After that it will verify the `user` table contains 2 records (just like the yml file).

### Configuring the extension in behat.yml

[](#configuring-the-extension-in-behatyml)

For this to work, you will need to tell Behat and Transmogrifier where to find your datasets, and where to find your database config files.

Edit your `behat.yml` file, and add the following:

```
default:
    extensions:
        LinkORB\TransmogrifierExtension\Extension:
            dbconf_dir: /share/config/database/
            dataset_dir: example/
```

These paths can be either absolute or relative from the directory where you start Behat.

Behat example
-------------

[](#behat-example)

The `features/` directory in this repository contains a fully functional `transmogrifier.feature` file.
