Behat Mink Field Randomizer

MinkFieldRandomizer is a random (with sense) information generator for filling form fields in Behat Mink tests. It brings the option to run your tests in a more realistic way changing the information you use to fill in the forms in every test you run.

Installing with Composer

composer require jordigiros/MinkFieldRandomizer

How to use

MinkFieldRandomizer includes a trait FieldRandomizerTrait that has some extra methods that will permit you to randomize your features involving forms.

You only need to add that trait to your main FeatureContext Behat Context as follows:

class FeatureContext extends MinkContext {

    use FieldRandomizerTrait;

}

This way you can use the new steps added by the trait directly in the gherkin feature.

Common methods

Generate and fill with new random values

• When I fill in :field with a random mail
• When I fill in :field with a random name
• When I fill in :field with a random surname
• When I fill in :field with a random phone
• When I fill in :field with a random number
• When I fill in :field with a random text
• When I fill in :field with a random loremipsum

Fill in with previously generated random values

• When I fill in :field with an existent mail
• When I fill in :field with an existent name
• When I fill in :field with an existent surname
• When I fill in :field with an existent phone
• When I fill in :field with an existent number
• When I fill in :field with an existent text
• When I fill in :field with an existent loremipsum

Note: If you didn't generate the random information previously (Generate and fill with new random information) they won't work.

Filling multiple fields with a TableNode object:

• Fills in form fields with provided table.

Gherkin:

When I fill in fields with provided table:
| f_outbound_accommodation_name 			| {RandomName} 		|
| f_outbound_accommodation_phone_number 	| {RandomNumber} 	|
| f_outbound_accommodation_address_1 		| {RandomText(10)}	|

PHP:

$hotel = new TableNode ([  
    ['f_outbound_accommodation_name', '{RandomName}'],
    ['f_outbound_accommodation_phone_number', '{RandomNumber}'],
    ['f_outbound_accommodation_address_1', '{RandomText(10)}'],   
]);
$this->fillFilteredFields($hotel);

Checking that a field has an specific previous random generated information:

Gherkin:

Then the ":field" field should contains ":value" value

PHP:

$this->frtAssertFieldContainsValue('f_customer_first_name', 'name');

It will fail if field contains a value different than the one given.

Filling a field with a custom random value

Gherkin:

When I fill in :field with :value

PHP:

When I fill in "#text" with "{RandomText(100)}"

It brings the option to customize some properties of the random values.
