This adds extra assertions, actions for Symfony Panther. v0.1.2(4y ago)03.0kMITPHPPHP >=8.0 Since Jun 28Pushed 4y ago6 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/Pararius/panther-actions)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/pararius/panther-actions)[ Docs](https://github.com/pararius/panther-actions)[ RSS](/packages/pararius-panther-actions/feed)WikiDiscussions main Synced today READMEChangelog (6)Dependencies (10)Versions (7)Used By (0) Panther Actions =============== [](#panther-actions) This project can be used for two reasons: - Use Symfony Panther inside Behat. - Extend Symfony Panther with a number of additional actions. At first, we developed this package to replace Behat Mink. Mink has a history of slow updates and this is troublesome when you want to upgrade your project to the newest PHP version. We created a Behat Context with the same signature as a lot of often used Behat Mink steps. This can help you to replace Behat Mink with Symfony Panther, while still using the expressive syntax of Behat. On a newer project we didn't want to use Behat and went with PHPUnit. There we started to use Symfony Panther, but quickly found out that we were missing a lot of actions that we got used to, while using Behat Mink. Therefore, we modified this package to be used inside a project without Behat as well. What is Symfony Panther? ------------------------ [](#what-is-symfony-panther) > Panther is a convenient standalone library to scrape websites and to run end-to-end tests using real browsers. [Symfony Panther](https://github.com/symfony/panther) Test coverage ------------- [](#test-coverage) A number of unit tests have been added to ensure the functionality. Not all functions are unit-tested. We will add more test coverage later on. For easy development and CI the docker and docker compose configurations have been added as well. Using this without Symfony Framework ------------------------------------ [](#using-this-without-symfony-framework) Symfony Panther can be used without the Symfony framework. This package can be used without the Symfony framework as well. Installation ------------ [](#installation) More instructions on how to install and configure Symfony Panther can be found [here](https://github.com/symfony/panther#installing-panther) You'll need these environment variables for all components to work together: ``` PANTHER_APP_ENV=panther PANTHER_NO_SANDBOX=1 PANTHER_CHROME_ARGUMENTS="--disable-dev-shm-usage" PANTHER_ERROR_SCREENSHOT_DIR=./var/error-screenshots PANTHER_EXTERNAL_BASE_URI=http://test-webserver:9080 # Change this to an address that serves your web-app ``` Further instructions can be found in the "How to" guides below. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) - [Integrate with PHPUnit](/docs/phpunit.md) - [Integrate with Symfony](/docs/symfony.md) - [Integrate with Behat](/docs/behat.md) Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) If you followed the instructions on the Symfony Panther documentation then all should work. If not then you might have forgotten: - Make sure the test webserver is running. For a docker example you can check the docker-compose.yaml file in this project. - Make sure that you have either chrome or firefox installed. For a docker example you can check the Dockerfile in this project. ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 50% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
