Behat Drupal Extension

The Drupal Extension is an integration layer between Behat, Mink Extension, and Drupal. It provides step definitions for common testing scenarios specific to Drupal sites.

The Drupal Extension 5.x supports Drupal 9 and 10, utilizes Behat 3.2+ and runs on:

• PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 with Drupal 9
• PHP 8.1 with Drupal 10.

Use it for testing your Drupal site.

If you're new to the Drupal Extension, we recommend starting with the Full documentation

Quick start

1. Install using Composer:

   mkdir projectdir
   cd projectdir
   curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   COMPOSER_BIN_DIR=bin php composer.phar require drupal/drupal-extension='~5.0'

2. In the projectdir, create a file called behat.yml. Below is the minimal configuration. Many more options are covered in the Full documentation

   default:
     suites:
       default:
         contexts:
           - Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\DrupalContext
     extensions:
       Drupal\MinkExtension:
         # Guzzle is used as HTTP client. You can configure the Guzzle request
         # options by setting `browserkit_http.guzzle_request_options`. For
         # instance the following configuration will disable SSL peer verification:
         # browserkit_http:
         #   guzzle_request_options:
         #     verify: false
         # See \GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions for all built-in Guzzle request options
         browserkit_http: ~
         base_url: http://example.org/  # Replace with your site's URL
       Drupal\DrupalExtension:
         blackbox: ~

3. In the projectdir, run

   bin/behat --init

4. Find pre-defined steps to work with using:

   bin/behat -di

5. Define your own steps in projectdir\features\FeatureContext.php
