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

• Have Java (or OpenJDK) installed.

# On Ubuntu, this might look like this:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless

• Download Selenium Standalone Server v3.*. Check http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ for the latest version, download it and run it with the following command:

#Example:
wget https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.141/selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar

This has to keep running for the duration of your tests, so launch it in a separate terminal, in a screen or in any equivalent context.

• Install google-chrome (stable version, not beta or dev).

# on Ubuntu, you might use something like this:
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add 
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install google-chrome-stable
# check in the download info which version of the browser you are downloading,
# as the chromedriver in the next step needs to be the same version

• 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:

cd /tmp && wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/85.0.4183.83/chromedriver_linux64.zip && unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip && sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin

• Test if chromedriver is working correctly, the result should be something like:

chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 92.0.4515.43 (8c61b7e2989f2990d42f859cac71319137787cce-refs/branch-heads/4515@{#306})

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)

• The CHECK_PASS_EASY_TO_FIND in app/config/profile.conf.php must be set to false
