Drupal Spec Tool

This project provides a tool for specifying Drupal architecture details and generating automated tests for them. It consists of 1) a Google Sheet for capturing specification and generating tests from it and 2) the Behat contexts that automate the generated tests (examples).

Getting started

Google sheet

Copy the appropriate version of the Google sheet to your Google Drive:

• Google sheet for Drupal 9
• Google sheet for Drupal 8

Behat tests

Assuming you already have Behat installed via Composer...

1. Install the Behat contexts:

   composer require --dev acquia/drupal-spec-tool
   

2. Add the new contexts to your Behat configuration, e.g.:

   # behat.yml
   default:
     suites:
       default:
         contexts:
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\AccessControlContext
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\ContentModelContext
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\MediaContext
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\MenuContext
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\ViewsContext
           - Acquia\DrupalSpecTool\Context\WorkflowContext
   

3. Copy the default feature files (representing the out-of-the-box configuration of Lightning) to your features directory. For example, given a BLT-based project:

   mkdir tests/behat/features/drupal-spec-tool
   cp vendor/acquia/drupal-spec-tool/features/*.feature tests/behat/features/drupal-spec-tool/
   

4. As you change the specification, update the features to match using the generated Gherkin on the "Behat" tab of the Google sheet. (See Advanced below to automate this process.)

5. Run Behat! If the tests pass, your application matches the specification. If not, change one or the other according to your needs.
