This PR was merged into the 1.4-dev branch. Discussion ---------- So this is my proposal for SymfonyExtension. Related to #28 What it changes: 1. Adds autoconfiguration for Symfony 4 (when default `src/Kernel.php` is detected); Improves DX. So when project bein compliant with new Symfony 4 structure, the configuration will look like: ``` extensions: FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension: ~ ``` The standard `.env` file is loaded by default. 2. Explicit settings of `env` and `debug` parameters will override the configuration loaded from `.env` file. This also improves DX, as there is no need for hacky workarounds to get behat working. 3. Fixed issue with the badly named configuration `$config['kernel']['kernel'] = $debugMode;` in1a39d31f5e4. Tweaked README to include new configuration details When it might seem only like an improvement, it's required to get behat working on new Symfony 4 structure when you: do not want to store a separate copy of `.env` with only `APP_ENV` changed to `test`, do not want to change those settings back and forth in `.env` file; which I consider not good practice and not good DX for sure 😄 Commits -------09c6530115Add autoconfiguration for Symfony 4, allow overriding .env setting by using explicit env and debug settings, tweaks141074a24eTweak README to include new configuration details for Symfony 4, tweak variable name149d41087fAdd symfony 4 configuration loading when bootstrap is null; tweaked formatting, naming, tests and readme49c4fc2a0eTweak README typos99db863175Tweaks after CR: remove obsolete docblocks, fix code formatting to match ECS
Symfony Extension
Integrates Behat with Symfony (^3.4 and ^4.1).
Inspired by Behat/Symfony2Extension.
Differences
- Built-in
symfonydriver uses different kernel than the one that is used in the contexts. This means you can always change it to any other driver without any issues and ensures that application behaviour will not be affected by stateful services.
Usage
-
Install it:
$ composer require friends-of-behat/symfony-extension --dev -
Enable and configure in your Behat configuration:
# behat.yml default: # ... extensions: FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension: ~ -
Good luck & have fun!
Configuration
SymfonyExtension provides kind of autoconfiguration feature. When none explicit configuration is set, we will set for you sane default that will get you running fast.
Default Symfony 3 configuration
FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
kernel:
bootstrap: 'app/autoload.php' # you may want to use var/bootstrap.php.cache instead
path: app/AppKernel.php
class: 'AppKernel'
env: test
debug: true
Default Symfony 4 configuration
FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
# .env.dist file will be used if .env file does not exist
env_file: .env
kernel:
bootstrap: ~
path: src/Kernel.php
class: 'App\Kernel'
env: test # When explicitly set, will override APP_ENV loaded from env_file file
debug: true # When explicitly set, will override APP_DEBUG loaded from env_file file
Symfony 4 is automatically detected, based on the existence of default src/Kernel.php kernel file.
If you did not migrate to new Symfony structure yet or you are using custom paths/naming; you need to configure kernel.bootstrap parameter, to enable default Symfony 4 configuration as shown in the example below:
FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
# env_file: .env # loaded from the default configuration
kernel:
bootstrap: ~ # this enables default Symfony 4 configuration
path: app/AppKernel.php
# class: 'App\Kernel' # loaded from the default configuration
# env: test # loaded from the default configuration
# debug: true # loaded from the default configuration
Of course, you can always change each of those settings.
