• Given I run the cron of Search API Run search api cron. Only for D7.

• Given I run the cron of Search API Solr Run search api solr cron. Only for D7.

DebugContext

Simple context to help debugging tests with some steps. Additionally, it hooks in the after step event to add a step that generates an error report on failed steps.

This report includes:

• A file with the HTML page content.
• A file with the current URL and the error exception dump.
• If available, a file with current page state.

Steps

• Then capture full page with a width of :width

  Saves a screenshot of current page with the given width to a file.

• Then capture full page with a width of :width with name :filename in configured directory (screenshots_path).

  Saves a screenshot of current page with the given width to a given filename in configured directory (screenshots_path).

• Then capture full page with width of :width to :path

  Saves a screenshot of current page with the given width to a file in the given path. If path is relative screenshots_path config value is used as root.

• Then capture full page with width of :width to :path with name :filename

  Saves a screenshot of current page with the given width to a file in the given path to a given filename. If path is relative screenshots_path config value is used as root.

• Then save last response

  Saves page content to a file.

• Then save last response to :path

  Saves page content to a file in the given path.

• Then save last response to :path

  Halts test for a given amount of seconds. Useful when debugging tests with timing issues. Don't use this step in real tests.
