This commit makes the following improvements to core page resolverss:
* allows for mixed case naming (course, Course, etc.)
* allows fields other than the idnumber to be specified:
** course: idnumber, shortname, fullname
** course category: idnumber, name
Whilst some of these fields are not unique, they will typically be
unique in most test scenarios. Where they are not then the idnumber
should be used in preference.
The activity generator currently requires an idnumber when creating
activities, but this is not a requirement when creating the same
activity through the UI. The requirement comes because we want to
provide a way to refer to activities in subsequent steps.
This commit modifies the behaviour such that the generator uses the name
of the activity as the default idnumber.
This has two main benefits:
1. it simplfies generation of activities; and
2. it makes the language used when writing behat tests much more natural.
With this change, steps will refer to the activity by its idnumber/title
in all cases, rather than sometimes by an idnumber which bears no
relevance to the title.
This change introduces a new function to execute Javascript directly on
a node.
This should not, ordinarily, be used directly by steps, but may be
required in other parts of the Behat interaction.
The PHP WebDriver Mink Driver does not necessarily require Selenium. It
supports Selenium 3 upwards, and can be used directly with ChromeDriver,
EdgeDriver, SafariDriver, GeckoDriver, and others.
It therefore uses a slightly different configuraitno path.
This commit updates core Behat features to make use of the
php-webdriver/webdriver library instead of the legacy Instaclick
library.
Most of these changes relate to use of features of WebDriver which we
are required to use directly rather than through the Mink Driver.
This commit promotes the Inplace Editable field to a first-class form
element by introducing a new partial selector for inplace editable
fields, and teaching the field manager how to recognise these, then
introducing a new field type which can handle setting values for this
field.
Behat form fields are implemented in a way completely isolated from the
rest of the Behat Context system. Whereas regular step definitions have
access to execute steps, to call `find`, check for JS running, and other
related functionality, the Moodle implementation of a field type does
not have any access to this.
By moving the core functionality of behat_base to a new trait, and the
constants to a new interface, the functionality can also be used in
behat form fields in the same way as elsewhere.
