Behace is a web editor designed for supporting you in writing features for your Behat tests. It is based on the Ace Editor and wrapped in the ExtJS Framework.
- basic editor features like cut, edit, paste, undo, redo,...
- Behace contains a behat syntax highlighting for typical catchwords(like 'Scenario', 'Given', 'When', 'Then' ,etc.) and quoted variable values
- Write 'feature' files supported by the code completion for implemented sentences
- ( added support for predefined options in sentences: Example: Given I have (option1|option2) )
- Organise and search in your 'feature' folder- and file-structure within Behace
- Run your behat tests directly in your browser and check the results
- selective test runs (click on a Scenario-catchword to mark the line and run the 'selection only' option)
- Open your feature-files simultaneously in a tab-structure
- Review and filter all available sentences in a collapsible list
- Lock the editor (read only state)
- Search through the displayed feature file
- A settings window for defining basic Ace and Behat settings
- Ace: ace themes, font-size, line highlighting,...
- Behat: output format, flags for color and path output
- Handling for unsaved changes when closing a tab
- Error Handling
