Behat Deprecation Extension

A Behat extension to display the whole list of user deprecated features (E_USER_DEPRECATED messages). It can be useful in a Symfony2 application when the tests are run with Symfony2 BrowserKit driver for Mink framework but not limited to.

Installation

You can use Composer to install the extension to your project:

composer require --dev caciobanu/behat-deprecation-extension

Then, in your behat config file behat.yml, register the extension:

# behat.yml
default:
    extensions:
        Caciobanu\Behat\DeprecationExtension: ~

Or like below with a mode set:

# behat.yml
default:
    extensions:
        Caciobanu\Behat\DeprecationExtension:
            mode: weak

The following reporting modes are supported:

• use null to display the deprecation report without making the test suite fail (default);
• use "weak" to hide the deprecation report but keep a global count;
• use a number to define the upper bound of allowed deprecations, making the tests fail whenever more notices are triggered.

Basic usage

Run Behat and enjoy :)

The summary includes:

• Unsilenced
  • Reports deprecation notices that were triggered without the recommended @-silencing operator.
• Legacy
  • Deprecation notices denote tests that explicitly test some legacy features, marked with the @legacy tag.
• Remaining
  • Deprecation notices are all other (non-legacy) notices.

Ignore some deprecation

You can filter the file that did make the call to trigger_error like this:

default:
    extensions:
        Caciobanu\Behat\DeprecationExtension:
            ignore:
                - { file: '#symfony#' }
                - { file: '#my-app#' }

It will ignore every files that matches any of the listed regexps

Or you can filter deprecation messages like this:

default:
    extensions:
        Caciobanu\Behat\DeprecationExtension:
            ignore:
                - { message: '#symfony#' }
                - { message: '#my-app#' }

It will ignore every deprecation message that matches any of the listed regexps

You can use both filter types at the same time:

default:
    extensions:
        Caciobanu\Behat\DeprecationExtension:
            ignore:
                - { file: '#symfony#', message: '#symfony#' }
