This is a Behat 3.0 Extension for WordPress plugin and theme development. You can use it to test your WordPress installation, or just test your plugin/theme without installing them in a normal WordPress installation (i.e. stand-alone). The Extension allows you to use WordPress functions in your context class (if you extend it from Johnbillion\WordPressExtension\Context\WordPressContext).

1. Add a composer development requirement for your WordPress theme or plugin:

   {
       "require-dev" : {
           "johnbillion/wordpress-behat-extension": "~0.1",
           "johnpbloch/wordpress": "~4.0.0"
       }
   }

2. Add the following Behat configuration file:

   default:
     suites:
       default:
         contexts:
           - Johnbillion\WordPressExtension\Context\WordPressContext
     extensions:
       Johnbillion\WordPressExtension:
         path: '%paths.base/vendor/wordpress'
   
       Behat\MinkExtension:
         base_url:    'http://localhost:8000'
         sessions:
           default:
             goutte: ~
   

3. Install the vendors and initialize behat test suites

   composer update
   vendor/bin/behat --init

4. Start your development web server and point its document root to the wordpress directory in vendors (without mail function)

   php -S localhost:8000 -t vendor/wordpress -d disable_functions=mail

5. Write some Behat features and test them

   Feature: Manage plugins
       In order to manage plugins
       As an admin
       I need to enable and disable plugins
   
       Background:
           Given I have a vanilla wordpress installation
               | name          | email                   | username | password |
               | BDD WordPress | [email protected]          | admin    | test     |
           And I am logged in as "admin" with password "test"
   
       Scenario: Enable the dolly plugin
           Given there are plugins
               | plugin    | status  |
               | hello.php | enabled |
           When I go to "/wp-admin/"
           Then I should see a "#dolly" element
   
       Scenario: Disable the dolly plugin
           Given there are plugins
               | plugin    | status   |
               | hello.php | disabled |
           When I go to "/wp-admin/"
           Then I should not see a "#dolly" element
   
   

6. Run the tests

   vendor/bin/behat
