Introduce a site building context

TravisCarden commented 7 years ago

As mentioned in #343, I have a growing collection of custom step definitions I reuse frequently, and I'd like to contribute any of them that the community would benefit from. Following is a list of the steps I have currently. Would anyone like to see any of them in Drupal Extension? Do folks have their own steps that they reuse frequently (or would if they had them)? And, if it's decided that these don't belong in DrupalExtension, where should they go?

User roles & permissions:

@Then exactly the following roles should exist (columns: label, id)
@Then the :role_id role should exist
@Then the :permission permission should exist
@Then the :role_id role should have the :permission permission
@Then the :role_id role should not have the :permission permission
@Then the :role_id role should have exactly the following permissions (list)
@Then the :role_id role should be the administrator role

Content types & fields:

@Then exactly the following content types should exist (columns: label, id)
@Then the :content_type_id content type should exist
@Then the :content_type_id content type should have exactly the following fields (columns: label, id, type)

@TravisCarden this certainly look useful. None of these look trivial for a novice to add and would be important for verifying site structure. I had been wanting exactly the check on the list of fields for a content type, for example.

If these were in this extension, they should probably be in a new "Sitebuilding" or "structure" context.

I've also come across projects where folks really want to validate certain site configurations via Behat to ensure that they aren't accidentally changed. These could also go into a site building context...

Note: Some of my step definitions have been released on Packagist as part of a specification tool we've created at Acquia: https://packagist.org/packages/acquia/drupal-spec-tool. See the announcement blog post on the Acquia Developer Center.
