Installation

composer require --dev drevops/behat-phpserver

Usage

PhpServerContext

Used to serve assets from a pre-defined document root., _(*1)

default:
  suites:
    default:
      contexts:
        - DrevOps\BehatPhpServer\PhpServerContext:
            webroot: '%paths.base%/tests/behat/fixtures' # Path to the PHP server document root
            protocol: http  # PHP server protocol
            host: 0.0.0.0   # PHP server host
            port: 8888      # PHP server port
            debug: false    # Enable debug mode for verbose output

ApiServerContext

Used to serve a pre-set API responses from a pre-defined document root., _(*2)

default:
  suites:
    default:
      contexts:
        - DrevOps\BehatPhpServer\ApiServerContext:
            webroot: '%paths.base%/apiserver' # Path to the API server document root
            protocol: http  # API PHP server protocol
            host: 0.0.0.0   # API PHP server host
            port: 8889      # API PHP server port
            debug: false    # API Enable debug mode for verbose output
            paths:          # Path(s) to fixture files for API responses
              - '%paths.base%/tests/behat/fixtures'
              - '%paths.base%/tests/behat/fixtures2'

API responses can be queued up in the API server server by sending PUT requests to /admin/responses as an array of the expected responses using following JSON format:, _(*3)

[
  {
    "code": 200,
    "reason": "OK",
    "headers": {},
    "body": ""
  },
  {
    "code": 404,
    "reason": "Not found",
    "headers": {
    },
    "body": ""
  }
]

The ApiServerContext provides several step definitions to make it easier to work with the API server:, _(*4)

# Check if the API server is running.
Given the API server is running

# Queue up a single API response.
Given API will respond with:
  """
  {
    "code": 200,
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "body": {
      "Id": "test-id-1",
      "Slug": "test-slug-1"
    }
  }
  """

# Queue up a single API response with minimal configuration.
Given API will respond with:
  """
  {
    "code": 200
  }
  """

# Queue up a single API response with JSON body.
Given API will respond with JSON:
  """
  {
    "Id": "test-id-1",
    "Slug": "test-slug-1"
  }
  """

# Queue up a single API response with JSON body and expected code.
Given API will respond with JSON and 201 code:
  """
  {
    "Id": "test-id-2",
    "Slug": "test-slug-2"
  }
  """

# Reset the API server by clearing all responses and requests.
Given the API server is reset

# Queue up a file response with automatic content type detection.
Given API will respond with file "test_data.json"

# Queue up a file response with a custom response code.
Given API will respond with file "test_content.xml" and 201 code

# Assert the number of requests received by the API server.
Then the API server should have 3 received requests

# Assert the number of responses queued in the API server.
Then the API server should have 0 queued responses

See this test feature for more examples., _(*5)

Using File Responses

The apiWillRespondWithFile step definition allows you to respond with the contents of a file from one of the configured fixture paths. The context will automatically detect the appropriate content type based on the file extension:, _(*6)

• .json → application/json
• .xml → application/xml
• .html, .htm → text/html
• .txt → text/plain
• All other extensions → application/octet-stream

Multiple fixture paths can be configured in the behat.yml file. The context will search for the file in each path in the order specified until it finds a match., _(*7)

Resetting the API Server

The resetApi step definition allows you to clear all queued responses and request history in the API server. This is useful for ensuring a clean state between test steps, especially when multiple scenarios interact with the API server:, _(*8)

# Clear existing state before setting up a new test
Given API server is reset
And API will respond with file "test_data.json"
When I send a GET request to "/"

For more information on supported RESTful API endpoints, see the API server implementation., _(*9)

Accessing the API server URL from your contexts

If you need to access the API server URL from your context to update the base URL of your API client, you can do so by using beforeScenario in your FeatureContext class:, _(*10)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Behat\Behat\Context\Context;
use Behat\Behat\Context\Environment\InitializedContextEnvironment;
use Behat\Behat\Hook\Scope\BeforeScenarioScope;
use DrevOps\BehatPhpServer\ApiServerContext;
use DrevOps\BehatPhpServer\PhpServerContext;

class FeatureContext implements Context {

  /**
   * The PHP server URL.
   */
  protected string $phpServerUrl;

  /**
   * The API server URL.
   */
  protected string $apiServerUrl;

  /**
   * Initialize the context.
   *
   * @beforeScenario
   */
  public function beforeScenarioInit(BeforeScenarioScope $scope): void {
    $environment = $scope->getEnvironment();

    if (!$environment instanceof InitializedContextEnvironment) {
      throw new \Exception('Environment is not initialized');
    }

    $context = $environment->getContext(PhpServerContext::class);
    $this->phpServerUrl = $context->getServerUrl();

    $context = $environment->getContext(ApiServerContext::class);
    $this->apiServerUrl = $context->getServerUrl();
  }

}
