+Feature: Forms with a large number of fields
+ In order to use certain forms on large Moodle installations
+ As an admin
+ I need forms to work with more fields than the PHP max_input_vars setting
+
+ Background:
+ # Get to the fixture page.
+ Given the following "courses" exist:
+ | fullname | shortname | format |
+ | Course 1 | C1 | topics |
+ And the following "activities" exist:
+ | activity | name | intro | course | idnumber |
+ | label | L1 | <a href="../lib/tests/fixtures/max_input_vars_test.php">FixtureLink</a> | C1 | label1 |
+ When I log in as "admin"
+ And I am on site homepage
+ And I follow "Course 1"
+ And I follow "FixtureLink"
+
+ # Note: These tests do not actually use JavaScript but they don't work with
+ # the headless 'browser'.
+ @javascript
+ Scenario: Small form with checkboxes (not using workaround)
+ When I follow "Advanced checkboxes / Small"
+ And I press "Submit here!"
+ Then I should see "_qf__core_max_input_vars_test_form=1"
+ And I should see "mform_isexpanded_id_general=1"
+ And I should see "arraytest=[13,42]"
+ And I should see "array2test=[13,42]"

+
+ @javascript
+ Scenario: Medium length form with checkboxes (needs workaround)

+ And I should see "Bulk checkbox success: true"
+
+ @javascript
+ Scenario: Longer than the limit with checkboxes (needs workaround)
+ When I follow "Advanced checkboxes / Above limit"
+ And I press "Submit here!"

+ And I should see "mform_isexpanded_id_general=1"

+ And I should see "array2test=[13,42]"

+ When I follow "Select options / Below limit"
+ And I press "Submit here!"
