Welcome to our growing knowledge base.
PreviousNext have been using Behat to test Drupal 7 sites for some time now. More recently, there has been a big push to introduce Behat tests in Drupal 8. So what is it all about?
In this post, I'll be taking a look at the Mink layer behind Behat and using it for web scraping and functional testing and what this means for the future of Drupal testing.
When working with the Search API Drupal module, sometimes we need to programmatically add information that is not available for indexing as a field. Lucky we can write our own custom pre-processor to provide this information to the index.
Our client had some very specific requirements for their project. They needed to be able to insert links to files and they needed to keep the same URL for those files even if the file changed. Those familiar with Drupal will know that by default, Drupal will suffix the newer version of the filename with _0, _1 etc which obviously breaks the URL. Here's how we worked around the issue...

One of the key goals of namespaces in PHP is to avoid collisions between class and function names between different libraries. Using namespaces and the PSR-0/4 standard creates a clean and simple way of sharing code across projects. This is a core part of the Drupal 8 architecture.
This approach has been a large factor in the PHP Renaissance and the huge amount of sharing of code across PHP external libraries.
In this post, I will show how we can leverage external libraries in existing Drupal 7 sites, using similar techniques to how it is being done in Drupal 8.
