5. Optional: Have a look into composer.json for information what software you will install via composer.
/var/www/html/weblinks$ cat composer.json
or https://github.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/blob/master/composer.json

8. After that you have to build robo
/var/www/html/weblinks$ vendor/bin/robo build
If you use MySQL or PostgreSQL as database and your user has create database privileges the Database is automatically created by the Joomla installer. But the safest way is to create the database before running Joomla's web installer.
/var/www/html/weblinks$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database weblinks;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0,00 sec)
mysql> quit;
Bye
/var/www/html/weblinks$ cd tests
/var/www/html/weblinks/tests$ cp acceptance.suite.dist.yml acceptance.suite.yml
11. Update the file acceptance.suite.yml to your needs. At least you have to update the options url, database name and counter_test_url.
/var/www/html/weblinks/tests$ cat acceptance.suite.yml
class_name: AcceptanceTester

12. Optional: Go back to weblinks directory and create and edit the file RoboFile.ini. Delete the local user www-data.
/var/www/html/weblinks$ cp RoboFile.dist.ini RoboFile.ini
/var/www/html/weblinks$ cat RoboFile.ini
; If set to true, the repo will not be cloned from GitHub and the local copy will be reused.
; This setting will be obsolete once we have local Git cache enabled
skipClone = false
; If you want to setup your test website in a different folder, you can do that here.
; You can also set an absolute path, i.e. /path/to/my/cms/folder
cmsPath = tests/joomla-cms3
; If you want to clone a different branch, you can set it here
branch = staging
; (Linux / Mac only) If you want to set a different owner for the CMS root folder, you can set it here.
localUser =

The tests in Weblinks Extension use Codeception Testing Framework, if you want to know more about the technology used for testing please check: Testing Joomla Extensions with Codeception.
This is not required, and if in doubt you can just skip this section, but there may be some specific use cases when you need (or want) to override the default behaviour of RoboFile.php. To do this, copy RoboFile.dist.ini
to RoboFile.ini
and add options in INI format, one per line, e.g.
skipClone = true
cmsPath = tests/joomla-cms3
The currently available options are as follows:
skipClone
: set totrue
to avoid the cms repo being deleted and re-cloned at each test execution. Useful to save time and bandwidth while you're debugging your test environment. But please be aware that if you don't refresh the repo you'll have to manually check theinstallation
folder is present and theconfiguration.php
is not.cmsPath
: set to the local path (absolute or relative) where you'd like the test website to be installed. Default istests/joomla-cms3
.branch
: set to whatever existing branch from thejoomla-cms
project if you want to clone that specific branch. Default isstaging
.
You can run the tests against different resolutions. The default acceptance YAML configuration file provides three options:
- "desktop": default, 1024x768px
- "tablet": tablet in portrait mode, 768x1024px
- "phone": phone in portrait mode, 480x640px
To set a specific resolution, set is as an option of the command:
$ vendor/bin/robo run:tests --env=tablet
Note: the first parameter is used by Travis and you should always set it to "0" when you run your tests locally.
Here you can finde a video that shows the installation of com_weblinks for testing.
You need to install:
- Git for windows (https://msysgit.github.io/)
- GitHub for windows (https://windows.github.com/)
- Curl for Windows if necessary.
- for complete list of necessary software and tips check this wiki page
Note: For commands line is better if you use the 'Git shell' program.
First you should create a fork of the official repository and clone the fork into your web server folder.
To prepare the system tests (Selenium) to be run in your local machine you are asked to rename the file tests/acceptance.suite.dist.yml
to tests/acceptance.suite.yml
. Afterwards, please edit the file according to your system needs.
The next step is only required if you don't place the weblinks folder into your web server folder. Create a symbolic link from your tests\joomla-cms3 to a subfolder of your web server. For example:
mklink /J C:\wamp\www\tests\joomla-cms3 C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\weblinks\tests\joomla-cms3
Open the console and go in the folder of weblinks, for example:
cd C:\wamp\www\weblinks
Then run the command:
$ composer install
You can then run the following command to start the tests:
$ vendor/bin/robo run:tests
Once all tests were executed, you may also run a specific test:
$ vendor/bin/robo run:test // Then select the test you want to run!
