This repo contains a boilerplate or a reference for running acceptance or integration tests for PHP applications with Behat 3 and ChromeDriver.

NOTE: this package was created on Linux, YMMV on Mac and Windows.

You need to install the standalone ChromeDriver from the ChromeDriver site. Follow the site instructions on installation.

If you're using an older version of Chrome or Chromium you might need to install an older version of the ChromeDriver too.

Next, run composer install (or update) to install the requirements to get Behat up and running.

Point a virtual host into the directory (index.php will be the "homepage").

View the behat.yml file for the behat configuration. Most importantly provide the proper values for base_url and the host value of the Selenium2 driver config.

For instance running

$ chromedriver
> Starting ChromeDriver <...> on port [port] <...>

would provide the driver being available on localhost:[port] which you should set in behat.yml under the Selenium2 config.

Set the virtual host you created as the base_url.

The Behat feature definitions and contexts are available under features. You can run the feature tests with

$ behat

If your setup and config is OK then Behat should report test results as expected.
