How to use PhantomJS for interfaceless testing in PHP

In the modern web development environment, interfaceless testing is an indispensable step because it can simulate user operations and verify the correctness of the UI. PhantomJS is a popular tool for automated testing in a headless environment. This article will introduce how to use PhantomJS in PHP for interfaceless testing.

1. Install PhantomJS

First, you need to install PhantomJS on the machine. You can download and install it from the official website. The following are the installation steps under Linux:

1. Download PhantomJS binary file
   $ sudo apt-get install wget unzip
   $ wget https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases /download/v2.1.1/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
2. Unzip the binary file
   $ tar xvf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
3. Add the PhantomJS executable file to the system path
   $ sudo mv phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/

Now , PhantomJS has been installed and can be verified by running the "phantomjs" command at the command line.

2. Use PhantomJS in PHP for automated testing

After installing PhantomJS, the next step is to integrate it into PHP for automated testing. Below is a simple PHP script that uses PhantomJS to open Google.com and search for "PhantomJS".

<?php
  $url = 'https://www.google.com/';
  $searchText = 'PhantomJS';

  // 启动PhantomJS服务
  $phantomjs = new JonnyWPhantomJsClient();
  $phantomjs->getEngine()->setPath('/usr/local/bin/phantomjs');
  $request = $phantomjs->getMessageFactory()->createRequest($url, 'GET');
  $response = $phantomjs->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();

  // 执行搜索
  $request->setDelay(5); // 等待5秒钟
  $request->setViewportSize(1024, 768); // 设置视口大小
  $request->setRequestData(array('q' => $searchText), JonnyWPhantomJsHttpRequestInterface::METHOD_POST);
  $phantomjs->send($request, $response);

  // 输出响应
  echo $response->getContent();

The above code uses a PHP library "jonnyw/phantomjs", which provides a simple interface to control PhantomJS and get responses. First, you need to start the PhantomJS service and set its execution path. Then, create a request object and specify the page URL to access and the search text. Next, you can set the page size and delay, as well as the request type (POST or GET). Finally, use the send() method to send the request and store the response. The response can be obtained in the $response object.

3. Advanced usage

In addition to the above basic usage, PhantomJS also has many advanced usages that can be explored. Here are some examples:

1. Grab a screenshot of the page
   Use PhantomJS to easily capture screenshots, the sample code is as follows:

<?php
  $url = 'https://www.google.com/';
  $searchText = 'PhantomJS';

  // 启动PhantomJS服务
  $phantomjs = new JonnyWPhantomJsClient();
  $phantomjs->getEngine()->setPath('/usr/local/bin/phantomjs');
  $request = $phantomjs->getMessageFactory()->createRequest($url, 'GET');

  // 设置截图配置
  $settings = array(
      'quality' => 90,
      'format' => 'png',
      'viewportSize' => array('width' => 1024, 'height' => 768),
      'clipRect' => array('top' => 0, 'left' => 0, 'width' => 1024, 'height' => 768),
      'paperSize' => array('format' => 'A4', 'orientation' => 'portrait', 'margin' => '1cm'),
  );

  // 创建一个屏幕截图
  $screenshot = $phantomjs->captureScreenshot($request, $settings);

  // 保存截图到文件
  file_put_contents('screenshot.png', $screenshot->getBinary());

2. Simulation User operations
   PhantomJS can simulate user clicks, scrolling, input and other operations. The sample code is as follows:

<?php
  $url = 'https://www.google.com/';
  $searchText = 'PhantomJS';

  // 启动PhantomJS服务
  $phantomjs = new JonnyWPhantomJsClient();
  $phantomjs->getEngine()->setPath('/usr/local/bin/phantomjs');
  $request = $phantomjs->getMessageFactory()->createRequest($url, 'GET');
  $response = $phantomjs->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();

  // 执行搜索
  $request->setDelay(5); // 等待5秒钟
  $request->setViewportSize(1024, 768); // 设置视口大小
  $request->setRequestData(array('q' => $searchText), JonnyWPhantomJsHttpRequestInterface::METHOD_POST);

  // 模拟点击
  $request->setScript('document.getElementsByName("btnG")[0].click();');

  // 模拟滚动
  $request->setScript('window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);');

  // 模拟输入
  $request->setScript('document.getElementsByName("q")[0].setAttribute("value", "PhantomJS");');

  $phantomjs->send($request, $response);

  // 输出响应
  echo $response->getContent();

4. Conclusion

PhantomJS is a powerful interfaceless testing tool , which can help developers automate testing during the web development process. By using PhantomJS with PHP, you can easily write interfaceless test scripts and simulate user actions. Whether for developers or testers, testing efficiency can be greatly improved.
