behave-webdriver
================
behave-webdriver is a step library intended to allow users to easily write `selenium`_ webdriver tests with the
behave BDD testing framework.
Inspired by the `webdriverio/cucumber-boilerplate`_ project.

For more details, see the `behave-webdriver documentation`_
.. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spyoungtech/behave-webdriver/master/docs/_static/behave-webdriver.gif
Installation
============
Installation is easy via pip. The install will require ``behave`` and ``selenium``.::
pip install behave-webdriver
Using webdrivers
----------------
Selenium requires that you provide executables for the webdriver you want to use. Further, unless you specify the path to
the binary explicitly, selenium expects that this executable is in PATH. See these
`driver installation notes`_ for more details.
Usage
=====
Basic usage of this library with behave requires the following steps:
1. write your feature file
2. import the step implementations
3. set the ``behave_driver`` attribute on the behave ``context`` in your ``environment.py`` file.
4. run ``behave``
Writing the feature file
------------------------
.. code-block:: gherkin
# my-minimal-project/features/myFeature.feature
Feature: Sample Snippets test
As a developer
I should be able to use given text snippets
Scenario: open URL
Given the page url is not "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/"
And I open the url "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/"
Then I expect that the url is "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/"
And I expect that the url is not "http://google.com"
Scenario: click on link
Given the title is not "two"
And I open the url "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/"
When I click on the link "two"
Then I expect that the title is "two"
Importing the step implementations
----------------------------------
In order for your feature file steps to match our step implementations, behave needs to find them in your project.
This is as simple as importing our step definitions into your own step implementation file.
.. code-block:: python
# features/steps/webdriver_example.py
from behave_webdriver.steps import *
For more information about `step implementations`_, see the behave tutorial.
Set behave_driver in the environment
------------------------------------
Our step implementations specifically look at the behave context for a ``behave_driver`` attribute to use to run your tests.
In order for that to work, you'll have to provide this attribute in your ``environment.py`` file.
.. code-block:: python
# features/environment.py
import behave_webdriver
def before_all(context):
context.behave_driver = behave_webdriver.Chrome()
def after_all(context):
# cleanup after tests run
context.behave_driver.quit()
The webdriver classes provided by behave-webdriver inherit from selenium's webdriver classes, so they will accept all
same positional and keyword arguments that selenium accepts.
Some webdrivers, such as Chrome, provide special classmethods like ``Chrome.headless`` which instantiates ``Chrome`` with
options to run headless. This is useful, for example in headless testing environments.
.. code-block:: python
def before_all(context):
context.behave_driver = behave_webdriver.Chrome.headless()
Using a fixture
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*New in 0.1.1*
You may also find it convenient to use a fixture to setup your driver as well. For example, to use our fixture with Firefox
.. code-block:: python
from behave_webdriver.fixtures import fixture_browser
def before_all(context):
use_fixture(fixture_browser, context, webdriver='Firefox')
This will also ensure that the browser is torn down at the corresponding `cleanup point`_.
.. _cleanup point: http://behave.readthedocs.io/en/stable/fixtures.html#fixture-cleanup-points
Run behave
----------
Then run the tests, just like any other behave test
.. code-block:: bash
behave
You should then see an output as follows::
Feature: Sample Snippets test # features/myFeature.feature:2
As a developer
I should be able to use given text snippets
Scenario: open URL # features/myFeature.feature:6
Given the page url is not "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/" # ../../behave_webdriver/steps/given.py:136 0.012s
And I open the url "http://webdriverjs.christian-bromann.com/" # ../../behave_webdriver/steps/given.py:10 1.414s

Advanced usage; extending behave-webdriver
==========================================
behave-webdriver is designed with **you** in-mind. You are free to extend the behavior of our webdriver classes to suit your
unique needs. You can subclass our webdriver classes, use a custom selenium webdriver, write your own mixin, or use
a mixin somebody else provides for selenium.
Example: selenium-requests
--------------------------
`selenium-requests`_ is a preexisting project that adds functionality of the popular ``requests`` library to selenium.
It is simple to use ``selenium-requests`` with behave-webdriver.
The following, and other examples, are available in the repo ``examples`` directory and in the full documentation.
.. code-block:: python
# examples/selenium-requests/features/environment.py
from selenium import webdriver # or any custom webdriver
from behave_webdriver.driver import BehaveDriverMixin
from seleniumrequests import RequestMixin # or your own mixin
class BehaveRequestDriver(BehaveDriverMixin, RequestMixin, webdriver.Chrome):
pass
def before_all(context):
context.behave_driver = BehaveRequestDriver()
.. code-block:: python
# examples/selenium-requests/features/steps/selenium_steps.py
from behave import *
from behave_webdriver.steps import *
from urllib.parse import urljoin
@given('I send a {method} request to the page "{page}"')
def send_request_page(context, method, page):
url = urljoin(context.base_url, page)
context.response = context.behave_driver.request(method, url)
@then('I expect the response text contains "{text}"')
def check_response_text_contains(context, text):
assert text in context.response.text
.. code-block:: gherkin
# examples/selenium-requests/features/selenium-requests.feature
Feature: Using selenium-requests
As a developer
I should be able to extend behave-webdriver with selenium-requests
Scenario: use selenium-requests with behave-webdriver
# use a behave-webdriver step
Given the base url is "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
# use your own steps using selenium-requests features
Given I send a GET request to the page "/"
Then I expect the response text contains "<h1>DEMO APP</h1>"
Assuming you're in the repository root (and have the demo app running) just run like any other project with ``behave``
Results ✨
