pytest-bdd-web 0.1.1

Features

Implements a simple headless browser that requests web pages according to a URL mapping, parses web forms, and enables assertions about the various web responses using PyQuery selectors (similar to jQuery).

Example:

Feature: Homepage functionality
    Scenario: Homepage
        When the user requests list home
        Then response 0 status code is "200"
        And response 0 element "#main_title" contains 'Welcome'

    Scenario: User profile
        When the user requests view user_profile
        Then response 0 status code is "200"
        And response 0 element "tr:contains('Balance')" contains '45.67'
        And response 0 form-contains-array-outline <arrayfield> <arrayvalue>

        Examples:
        | arrayfield | arrayvalue |
        | choices    | [0 2 3]    |

Requires you to provide these fixtures:

• client

• url_mapping

client must implement get and post methods, compatible with Flask.test_client.

Example:

@pytest.fixture
def app():
    """Create, configure a new app instance for each test."""
    "..."
    return app

@pytest.fixture
def client(app):
    return app.test_client()

url_mapping must be a dictionary, with keys of top-level “groups”, and values mapping a human-readable “action” to an absolute URL in your web app.

Example:

URL_MAPPING = {
    'home': {
        'list': '/',
        'articles': '/latest/',
    },
    'user_profile': {
        'view': '/user/profile/',
        'update': '/user/profile/update',
    },
    'blog': {
        'delete': '/blog/{}/delete', # {} gets filled from feature args
    },
};
@pytest.fixture
def url_mapping():
    return URL_MAPPING

Available When Steps

• the user requests {action} {what} [args…]

Will operate on the URL looked up from the url_mapping, with any args substituted in for occurrences of {} in the mapped URL.

Example:

When the user requests view user_profile

• the user sets-array {afield} [{avalue}]

Sets a form value on the current web page.

Example:

When the user sets-array choices [1 3 4]

• the user sets-array-outline <arrayfield> <arrayvalue>

Sets a form value on the current web page.

Example:

When the user sets-array-outline <arrayfield> <arrayvalue>

Examples:
| arrayfield | arrayvalue |
| choices    | [0 2 3]    |

• the user sets {field} “{value}”

Sets a form value on the current web page.

Example:

When the user sets fullname "Big Bob"

• the user submits requests {action} {what} [args…]

Will operate on the URL looked up from the url_mapping, with any args substituted in for occurrences of {} in the mapped URL.

Example:

When the user submits delete blog 4ec2d70

Available Then Steps

• response {response_index:d} status code is “{code:d}”

Example:

Then response 0 status code is "200"

• response {response_index:d} shows element “{selector}”

Example:

Then response 0 shows element "div.success"

• response {response_index:d} form-contains-array-outline <arrayfield> <arrayvalue>

Then-clause asserting about a given outline form-field having the given outline array value.

Example:

Then response 0 form-contains-array-outline <arrayfield> <arrayvalue>

Examples:
| arrayfield | arrayvalue |
| choices    | [0 2 3]    |

• response {response_index:d} json-has “{key}”

Example:

Then response 0 json-has "account_balance"

• response {response_index:d} json-contains “{key}” “{phrase}”

Example:

Then response 0 json-contains "account_balance" "45.67"

• response {response_index:d} doesn’t show element “{selector}”

Example:

Then response 0 doesn't show element "div.alert"

• response {response_index:d} element “{selector}” doesn’t contain ‘{phrase}’

Example:

Then response 0 element "#username" doesn't contain 'bob'

• response {response_index:d} element “{selector}” doesn’t contain-outline <contains>

Then-clause asserting about a PyQuery-selected element not containing an outline value.

Example:

Then response 0 element "#username" doesn't contain 'bob'

• response {response_index:d} element “{selector}” doesn’t contain-outline <contains>

Then-clause asserting about a PyQuery-selected element not containing an outline value.

Example:

Then response 0 element "#response" doesn't contain-outline <contains>

Examples:
| contains |
| 0 items added |

• response {response_index:d} element “{selector}” contains-outline <contains>

Then-clause asserting about a PyQuery-selected element containing an outline value.

Example:

Then response 0 element "#username" contains-outline <contains>

Examples:
| contains |
| Bob |
