chamilo-lms/tests/behat

In order to run behat tests locally with the right support for browser and JS environments under Linux, you will need to:

• Have Java installed (see notes below)
• Download Selenium Standalone Server v3.*

http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

And run it with the following command:

java -jar /my-dir/selenium-server-standalone-3.1.0.jar

• Download the Chrome driver, unzip and copy into /usr/bin

Check the latest version at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads, then adapt the following command to the latest version. Use a version that matches your version of the Chrome browser.

cd /tmp && wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.35/chromedriver_linux64.zip && unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip && sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin

Chamilo configuration

• An administrator user should be created with these parameters:

  • Username "admin"
  • Password "admin"
  • First name "John"
  • Last name "Doe"
  • user_id = 1 (this one is set when you install Chamilo, but just in case...)

• Edit the tests/behat/behat.yml file and update the base_url param with your own Chamilo local URL.

• The main platform language and the admin user's language must be English (platformLanguage = english and admin user profile)

• Social network tool must be available (allow_social_tool = true)

• Student can register to the system (allow_registration = yes)

• Teacher can register to the system (allow_registration_as_teacher = yes)

Run tests

To run all features:

# /var/www/html/chamilo
cd tests/behat
 ../../vendor/behat/behat/bin/behat -v

To run an specific feature:

../../vendor/behat/behat/bin/behat features/course.feature

Java versions

Not all java versions will work. For Ubuntu, sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk openjdk-11-jre should do, but OpenJDK 17 will not work, for example. If you have several versions installed, you can update the "active" version with sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the possibilities, then sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 or something like that to set it. Beware this can have a big impact on other things you run with Java (like your IDE?) so maybe think about undoing this later on...
