### Gherkin: Complete Feature Test Example for Order Processing

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

A comprehensive Behat feature demonstrating a full user workflow, including API requests and database state verification. It tests order creation, status updates, and entity property validation across multiple steps.

```gherkin
Feature: E-commerce Order Processing
  In order to verify order handling
  As a test suite
  I need to check database state after operations

  Background:
    Given the database is clean
    And I see 0 entities "App\Entity\Order"

  Scenario: Create and process an order
    When I send a POST request to "/api/orders" with:
      """
      {
        "customerId": "cust-789",
        "items": [
          {"productId": "prod-123", "quantity": 2},
          {"productId": "prod-456", "quantity": 1}
        ]
      }
      """
    Then the response status code should be 201
    And I see 1 entities "App\Entity\Order"
    And I see entity "App\Entity\Order" with properties:
      """
      {
        "customerId": "cust-789",
        "status": "pending",
        "itemCount": 3
      }
      """

    When I process the order "ord-001"
    Then I see entity "App\Entity\Order" with properties:
      """
      {
        "id": "ord-001",
        "status": "completed",
        "processedAt": null
      }
      """

```

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/blob/develop/docs/install.md

This PHP code snippet shows how to manually register the Behat ORM Context bundle in the `config/bundles.php` file. This is necessary if not using Symfony Flex or if the bundle does not provide an automatic recipe. The bundle is enabled only for the 'test' environment.

```php
<?php
// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    BehatOrmContext\BehatOrmContextBundle::class => ['test' => true],
];
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Behat ORM Context in behat.yml

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/blob/develop/docs/install.md

This YAML configuration adds the ORM context to your Behat setup. It specifies the `ORMContext` class to be used within the default suite, enabling ORM-related Behat features.

```yaml
default:
  suites:
    default:
      contexts:
        - BehatOrmContext\Context\ORMContext
```

### Custom Entity Manager Configuration (YAML)

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Overrides the default Doctrine entity manager used by the ORMContext. This configuration snippet allows specifying a custom entity manager service, which is particularly useful when working with multiple database connections or custom manager setups in your test environment.

```yaml
# config/services_test.yaml
when@test:
  services:
    BehatOrmContext\Context\ORMContext:
      arguments:
        $manager: '@doctrine.orm.analytics_entity_manager'
```

--------------------------------

### Inject Custom ObjectManager for Behat ORM Context

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/blob/develop/docs/install.md

This YAML configuration demonstrates how to override the default Doctrine ObjectManager used by `ORMContext`. By specifying a custom service (e.g., `@doctrine.orm.other_entity_manager`) in `config/services.yaml` under the 'test' environment, you can inject a different ObjectManager.

```yaml
when@test:
  services:
    BehatOrmContext\Context\ORMContext:
      arguments:
        $manager: '@doctrine.orm.other_entity_manager'
```

### PHP Usage: ORMContext Constructor and Injection

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Demonstrates how to instantiate the ORMContext class with an EntityManagerInterface. It shows automatic wiring by Symfony's dependency injection and how to inject ORMContext into custom Behat contexts for testing entity states.

```php
<?php

use BehatOrmContext\Context\ORMContext;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;

// Autowired by Symfony DI
$entityManager = $container->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
$ormContext = new ORMContext($entityManager);

// Can be injected into custom contexts
class MyCustomContext implements Context
{
    private ORMContext $ormContext;

    public function __construct(ORMContext $ormContext)
    {
        $this->ormContext = $ormContext;
    }

    /**
     * @Then the user should be saved
     */
    public function theUserShouldBeSaved(): void
    {
        $this->ormContext->thenISeeInRepository(1, User::class);
    }
}

```

### Gherkin: Testing Null Properties

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Illustrates how to test entities with intentionally null properties using Gherkin syntax. The bundle translates these null checks into SQL `IS NULL` conditions for accurate database assertions.

```gherkin
Feature: User Profile
  Scenario: User without optional fields
    When I create a user with minimal information
    Then I see entity "App\Entity\User" with properties:
      """
      {
        "email": "minimal@example.com",
        "middleName": null,
        "phoneNumber": null
      }
      """

```

--------------------------------

### Gherkin: Testing JSON Field Properties

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Shows how to test entities with Doctrine JSON field types. The bundle normalizes JSON values for consistent comparison across PostgreSQL and MySQL, ensuring reliable testing.

```gherkin
Feature: Product Metadata
  Scenario: Product with JSON attributes
    When I create a product with custom attributes
    Then I see entity "App\Entity\Product" with properties:
      """
      {
        "sku": "PROD-001",
        "metadata": {
          "color": "blue",
          "size": "large",
          "tags": ["electronics", "gadgets"]
        }
      }
      """

```

Adds the ORMContext class to your Behat suite configuration file. This step enables the provided Behat step definitions for testing Doctrine ORM interactions within your BDD scenarios. Ensure the path to the context is correct.

```yaml
# behat.yml
default:
  suites:
    default:
      contexts:
        - BehatOrmContext\Context\ORMContext
        - App\Tests\Behat\ApiContext
```

--------------------------------

### Verify Entity with Multiple Properties (Gherkin)

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Checks for the existence of an entity that matches a set of specified property values. This step supports various data types including strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, and JSON fields, provided as a JSON string. It's essential for validating complex entity states.

```gherkin
Feature: User Registration
  Scenario: Register a new user with profile
    When I register a user with email "john.doe@example.com"
    Then I see entity "App\Entity\User" with properties:
      """
      {
        "email": "john.doe@example.com",
        "firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Doe",
        "active": true,
        "roles": ["ROLE_USER"]
      }
      """
    And I see 1 entities "App\Entity\User"
```

--------------------------------

### Find Entity by ID (Gherkin)

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Confirms the existence of an entity with a specific ID in the database. This step definition is valuable for validating successful entity creation or persistence after various application actions. It helps ensure that individual records are correctly managed.

```gherkin
Feature: Product Catalog
  Scenario: Create a product
    When I send a POST request to "/api/products" with:
      """
      {
        "id": "prod-12345",
        "name": "Wireless Mouse",
        "price": 29.99
      }
      """
    Then the response status code should be 201
    And I see entity "App\Entity\Product" with id "prod-12345"
```

--------------------------------

### Check Entity Count in Repository (Gherkin)

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/llms.txt

Verifies the number of entities of a given class in the database. This Gherkin step executes a count query and raises an exception if the actual count does not match the expected value. It's useful for ensuring data integrity after operations.

```gherkin
Feature: User Management
  Scenario: Create multiple users
    Given the database is empty
    When I create 5 new users via the API
    Then I see 5 entities "App\Entity\User"
    And I see 0 entities "App\Entity\Admin"
```

--------------------------------

### Verify Entity Existence by ID (Gherkin)

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-orm-context/blob/develop/docs/ORMContext/see-entity-in-repository-with-id.md

This Gherkin step definition allows you to assert the presence of a specific entity within the database. It takes the fully-qualified entity class name and the entity's unique ID as parameters to perform the check.

```gherkin
And I see entity "App\Entity\Product" with id "abc123"
```
