Installation of the Functional Testing Framework Entities
Well, you are on the way to install the Functional Testing Framework!
Follow the next three steps:
Check pre-installation conditions
Install the Magento application
To install the Magento application, see Magento Installation Guide.
Check if all required software installed and configured
PHP
For more details about PHP verification, installation and configuration (Ubuntu, CentOS).
In php.ini file, make sure extension=php_openssl.dll is not commented out.
Check if the Functional Testing Framework has been already installed
- Find directory
<magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/. - Find the
vendordirectory. If the directory exists, you already have the Functional Testing Framework installed invendor/magento/mtf.
Perform the installation
The Functional Testing Framework requires Composer, which downloads libraries defined in <magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/composer.json.
If you're not sure that Composer is installed, see Install Composer.
- Open a command prompt.
- Log in to your Magento server as a user with permissions to modify the Magento file system. (This is typically the Magento file system owner.)
cd <magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/
composer install
If command failed, maybe Composer hasn't been installed globally.
Copy composer.phar to /usr/local/bin/composer.
To run it locally put composer.phar into directory, where composer.json file is located (that is, <magento2>/dev/tests/functional/).
And run from this directory php composer.phar install.
Check the installation
Find the Functional Testing Framework directory
Check whether the vendor directory exists in <magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/.
cd <magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/
ls
Find the mtf directory.
cd vendor/magento
ls
Verify the Functional Testing Framework version
Open <magento2_root_dir>/dev/tests/functional/vendor/magento/mtf/CHANGELOG.md. The latest version in CHANGELOG.md is version of the FTF you installed.
