Registration page not allowing you to register - in behat

[Jinelle Foley-Barnes]

Hi all,

When I am an admin and create an institution -> turn registration to be on ->log out -> follow the Registration link... type all the info into the fields (With a legit email address) then try press the Registration button it throws an error.

The error I get is telling me that some fields haven't had data entered correctly but it doens't tell me what the error is, or what required field the error is happening to.

I have uploaded a Behat test to test for this - If it's any help to use this to debug the issue and to attach your patch to when it's fixed :)

Cheers,
Jinelle

Hi Jinelle,

I can't reproduce the error after following the steps in your behat test.
What do you see in the log files?

Here's the Jenkins output if it's any help :)

Ok, from what I can tell, this problem is not a problem in Mahara itself as I also can replicate when I follow the steps in the behat test manually, but probably a problem in behat itself when it sets up an institution.

I'd check that the behat way of setting up an institution is saving all the needed information.

I'll drop the severity to medium

Ok doing some more testing I believe the problem is either due to the antispam on the registration form and/or the fact the form is meant to email the admin but can't do that on "noreply@localhost:8000"

[Robert Lyon (robertl-9)]

Ah actually it's because behat fills in the form like a robot :)

just too fast

So we just need to delay the form submission a little bit

[Robert Lyon (robertl-9)]

Ok so now that the delaying by 2 seconds satisfies the spam trap we get an email error where we can't send to "noreply@localhost:8000"

Behat Test: Registration process

This test needs a step the end to save the page, but seeing as there is a
bug when trying to register I cant see what the save button is called.
