Setup Behat for Drupal 8/9 with DDEV-Local and Selenium

Note: You may want to take a look at the ddev-selenium-standalone-chrome add-on for this situation.

1. Add the Behat Drupal Extension to your project using Composer: ddev composer require drupal/drupal-extension='~4.0' ` (see youtube video) This installs Behat and other required dependencies.

2. Add a Selenium container in your project. Copy docker-compose.selenium.yml to your project's .ddev folder (see original source Stack Overflow answer)

3. Copy behat.yml to your project root.

4. Update base_url in behat.yml with your project's URL.

5. Initialize Behat with ddev exec -d /var/www/html behat --init - This will create a features folder in your project root.

6. Example test: Copy account_registration.feature to the features directory of your project. (See youtube demonstration.)

7. Run a simple test with ddev exec -d /var/www/html behat or

ddev ssh -d /var/www/html
behat

You should see results similar to this:

Feature: Account Registration
  In order to create an account
  As a user
  I need to be able to complete the registration form

  Scenario: Complete the registration form    # features/account_registration.feature:8
    Given I am on "/user/register"            # Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MinkContext::visit()
    And I enter "[email protected]" for "edit-mail" # Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MinkContext::assertEnterField()
    And I enter "tom" for "edit-name"         # Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MinkContext::assertEnterField()
    And I press the "edit-submit" button      # Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MinkContext::pressButton()
