Acquia 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.

Getting started

Google sheet

Copy the current version of the Google sheet to your Google Drive.

Behat tests

Assuming you already have Behat installed via Composer...

1. Install the Behat contexts:

   Note: If you're using BLT the Drupal Spec Tool is already included as part of blt/composer.suggested.json.

   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. Create a Behat feature file for each generated feature on the "Behat" tab of the Google sheet (e.g., content_model.feature) and copy the Gherkin into it. (See Advanced below to automate this process.)

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