Testing an Angular page with Behat


How about testing these Angular pages? In the previous recipes, I set up Behat and showed how to use this tool to not only test your site but also to help you write code. I will now show how easy it is to test it using Behat over other tools such as Protractor, since with Behat, we get the benefit of Gherkin-based tests that can both test the UI and do Integration-level tests.

Getting ready

In the previous recipes, I installed Behat. I will go over it again, so a base Laravel install should be enough.

How to do it...

  1. Install Behat using composer; your composer.json will look like this:

  2. Run composer update, or if you are impatient like me, run rm -rf vendor composer.lock, and then composer install

  3. Run Behat init to set things up:

    >vendor/bin/behat --init
    
  4. Make a behat.yml file at the root of your app like this:

  5. Run Behat again to set up these files (-s tells it what suite to use, and --init will set up the context class for us):

    >vendor/bin/behat --init ...
lock icon
The rest of the page is locked
