One of the most basic ways to test a website is to simply go to the starting page and click on every link to make sure there are no pages broken.

Then repeat the process, but logged in as different users (e.g. as an administrator).

That's what this bundle does. Combine with code coverage, it's a fast and easy way to test. This can also be run in --dev

@todo: check out https://github.com/mvdbos/php-spider

composer req survos/crawler-bundle
# configure the users in packages/survos_crawler.yaml
bin/console survos:crawl

These are the steps

Crawl the site and create a list of all the routes and paths visited by each user (slow)
Generate a phpunit test with those routes
Run the phpunit test (very fast)
Check coverage with the test.

c d:sc:update --env=test --force


bin/console survos:crawl --env=test

Working example (without API Platform)

symfony new smoketest-demo --webapp && cd smoketest-demo
composer config extra.symfony.allow-contrib true

            $manager->persist($product);
        }
    $manager->flush();
    }

# setup the test

cat > tests/SmokeTest.php <<'END'
<?php

namespace App\Tests;

use Pierstoval\SmokeTesting\SmokeTestStaticRoutes;

class SmokeTest extends SmokeTestStaticRoutes

    // That's all!
}
END

bin/console d:fixtures:load -n
symfony server:start -d
symfony open:local

composer require stenope/stenope
bin/console -e prod cache:clear
bin/console -e prod stenope:build ./public/static/ --base-url=/static

Start the server. Until proxy is working (@todo) you need to use the IP address of the server if you're using the Symfony CLI.

To set default values (@todo: install recipe)

# config/packages/survos_crawler.yaml
survos_crawler:
  base_url: 'https://127.0.0.1:8000'

The process

bin/console survos:crawl

Note that the first time this runs, it will create a BaseVisitLinksTest.php in the tests directory, so that phpunit works.

The command visits every link and stores the results in crawldata.json. This is then used by the tests to make sure they're right.

This is particularly good when different users have permissions to different routes, so if you've secured an /admin route and accidentally left the link open, you'll get an error.
