## Problem to solve

If you test your application with external service you run into problems of non unique user input.

For example registering a user with same email will fail as there is already a user inside your database with this email address.

```

Scenario: Register a new user

    Given I fill in "email" with "[email protected]"

    And I fill in "password" with "my_scret"

    And I press "Register Now"

    Then I should see "[email protected]" in the ".account-user" element

Scenario: Register a new user

    Given set a random mail in "%email%" placeholder

    And set a random password in "%password%" placeholder

    And I fill in "email" with "%email%"

    And I fill in "password" with "%password%"

    And I press "Register Now"

    Then I should see "%email%" in the ".account-user" element

    Then I should see "Hello %email%" in the ".account-user" element

```

Also extracting an given value of newly generate user is possible.

```

Scenario: Register a new user and check id

    [...]

    When set placeholder "%user_id%" of "id" on Doctrine model "AppBundle:User" with "email" equals "%email%"

    Then print placeholder value of "%user_id%"    

    Then I should see "%user_id%" in the ".account-user-id" element

```

All placeholder are compatible with foreign `Context` arguments.

## Installation

``` bash

$ composer require espend/behat-placeholder-extension

```

```yaml

# behat.yaml

default:

  suites:

    default:

      contexts:

        - espend\Behat\PlaceholderExtension\Context\PlaceholderContext

  

  extensions:

    espend\Behat\PlaceholderExtension\PlaceholderExtension: ~

```

### Feature Steps

All placeholder are valid per Scenario scope. They are cleaned before and after every Scenario.

```

Given set a placeholder "%foobar%" with value "my_foobar"

Given set a random mail in "%mail%" placeholder

Given set a random password in "%password%" placeholder

Given set a random text with length "15" in "%text%" placeholder

Given set current date as "Y-m-d" format in "%date%" placeholder

Given print placeholder value of "%date%"

Given print all placeholder values

```

#### Doctrine

To interact with the underlying Database there also some Doctrine steps.

They only work on a Test Suite / Extension using `Behat\Symfony2Extension`

```

Given set placeholder "%foobar%" of "id" on Doctrine model "AppBundle:Car" with "name" equals "bmw"

Given set placeholder "%foobar%" of "id" on Doctrine model "AppBundle\Entity\Car" with "name" equals "bmw"

```

```yaml

# behat.yaml

default:

  suites:

    default:

      contexts:

        - espend\Behat\PlaceholderExtension\Context\DoctrinePlaceholderContext

  extensions:

    # [...]

    Behat\Symfony2Extension: ~

    Behat\MinkExtension:

      sessions:

        default:

          symfony2: ~

```

```

# composer.json

"behat/mink-extension": "*",

"behat/symfony2-extension": "*",

```

#### Placeholder Context Injection

If you want access to placeholders in you custom `Context` you implement the `espend\Behat\PlaceholderExtension\Context\PlaceholderBagAwareContextInterface` Interface

See `PlaceholderContext` for a full working example

```

class PlaceholderContext implements Context, PlaceholderBagAwareContext {}

```

## TODOs

 - Pipe placeholder arguments for console command: `bin/behat --placeholder="%foobar%=foo"`

 - More Doctrine related steps

 - More Placeholder specific steps
