Behat: How to clean up database records created in the scenario

Question

I have the following scenario:

    @mink:selenium2
  Scenario: Login
    Given there are the following users:
      | username | password | email               |
      | admin    | 1234     | admin@socialcar.com |
    When I am on "/login"
    And I fill in "username" with "admin"
    And I fill in "password" with "1234"
    And I press "Login"
    Then I should be on "/admin"

So I'd like to have a cleanupUsers as a @AfterScenario where I can clean whatever was inserted in the scenario. So how can I access the TableNode of users?

Answer 1

You can save your users in a private property so that you could access them later in a hook:

private $users;

/**
 * @Given there are the following users:
 */
public function thereAreFollowingUsers(TableNode $table)
{
    $this->users = $table;

    // ...
}

/**
 * @AfterScenario
 */
public function cleanupUsers(AfterScenarioScope $scope)
{
    if (null !== $this->users) {
        // do the cleanups
        // ...

        // reset the property
        $this->users = null;
    }
}
