README

This Behat Extension uses the say command to speak aloud your Behat steps as they run.

Configuring

This extension takes configuration for a default voice. Voices can also vary based on the (Drupal) user role. Enable the extension by adding the following to your behat.yml file.

    FauxAlGore\BehatSayExtension:
      default_voice: Fiona
      roles:
        administrator: Pipe Organ
        content_administrator: Alex

Adapt the configuration to use whichever say voices you prefer. To see a list of all available voices run say --voice=\?

Benefits

By speaking your Behat commands aloud, this extension highlights poorly constructed Behat steps. Behavior Driven Development encourages using domain-specific language. If your steps are written around CSS selectors, they will sound absurd.

Additionally, varying voices by user role will encourage deeper consideration of the role used for a given scenario.
