Using behat to create nodes and testing user owns them

Question

I would like to create a Behat test that confirms a user can only see content they own or are referenced in. The struggle is that I can't figure out how to assign the content to created user.

Starting with something like:

Given users:
| name | status |
| test | 1      |
Given "Page" content:
| title | uid |
| A title | ?? |

I need to create several nodes to test, and it seems...odd... that I would need to do the entire steps (e.g. Then I go to register, then I go to node/add/page, ....).

How do I know the uid of the user created in the Given?

Answer 1

In the example in features/api.feature you'll find how to do this:

  Scenario: Create nodes with specific authorship
    Given users:
    | name     | mail            | status |
    | Joe User | [email protected] | 1      |
    And "article" nodes:
    | title          | author   | body             | promote |
    | Article by Joe | Joe User | PLACEHOLDER BODY | 1       |
    When I am logged in as a user with the "administrator" role
    And I am on the homepage
    And I follow "Article by Joe"
    Then I should see the link "Joe User"
