To prepare the system tests (Selenium) to be run in your local machine you are asked to rename the file tests/acceptance.suite.dist.yml to tests/acceptance.suite.yml. Afterwards, please edit the file according to your system needs.

To run the tests please execute the following commands (for the moment only working in Linux and MacOS, for more information see: https://docs.joomla.org/Testing_Joomla_Extensions_with_Codeception):

$ composer install
$ vendor/bin/robo
$ vendor/bin/robo run:tests

##For Windows:

You need to install:

Git for windows (https://msysgit.github.io/)
GitHub for windows (https://windows.github.com/)
Curl for Windows if necesssary.

Note: For commands line is better if you use the 'Git shell' program.

First you should create a fork of the official repository and clone the fork into your web server folder.

The next step is only required if you don't place the weblinks folder into your web server folder. Create a symbolic link from your tests\joomla-cms3 to a subfolder of your web server. For example:

mklink /J C:\wamp\www\tests\joomla-cms3 C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\weblinks\tests\joomla-cms3

Open the console and go in the folder of weblinks, for example:

cd C:\wamp\www\weblinks

Then run the command:

$ composer install

You can then run the following command to start the tests:

$ vendor/bin/robo run:tests

Once all tests were executed, you may also run a specific test:

$ vendor/bin/robo run:test // Then select the test you want to run!
