+Feature: Export forum
+  In order to parse forum data for linguistic analysis
+  As a teacher
+  I need to export the forum data for select users
+
+  Background: Add a forum and a discussion
+    Given the following "users" exist:
+      | username | firstname | lastname | email |
+      | teacher1 | Teacher | 1 | teacher1@example.com |
+      | student1 | Student | 1 | student1@example.com |
+      | student2 | Student | 2 | student1@example.com |
+    And the following "courses" exist:
+      | fullname | shortname | category |
+      | Course 1 | C1 | 0 |
+    And the following "course enrolments" exist:
+      | user | course | role |
+      | teacher1 | C1 | editingteacher |
+      | student1 | C1 | student |
+    And the following "activities" exist:
+      | activity   | name         | intro                     | type      | course | idnumber |
+      | forum      | Test forum 1 | Test forum 1 description  | general   | C1     | 123      |
+
+  Scenario: Teacher can export forum
+    Given I log in as "teacher1"
+    And I am on "Course 1" course homepage
+    When I follow "Test forum 1"
+    And I navigate to "Export" in current page administration
+    And I open the autocomplete suggestions list
+    And I should see "Student 1" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    And I should see "Teacher 1" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    And I should not see "Student 2" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    # This will fail if an exception is thrown. This is the best we can do without the ability to use the download. Hence, there is no "Then" step.
+    And I click on "Export" "button"
+    And I log out
+
+  Scenario: Students cannot export forum by default
+    Given I log in as "student1"
+    And I am on "Course 1" course homepage
+    When I follow "Test forum 1"
+    Then "Export" "link" should not exist in current page administration
+    And I log out
+
+  Scenario: User with the capability can export
+    Given the following "permission overrides" exist:
+      | capability                  | permission | role           | contextlevel | reference |
+      | mod/forum:exportforum       | Allow      | student        | Course       | C1        |
+    When I log in as "student1"
+    And I am on "Course 1" course homepage
+    And I follow "Test forum 1"
+    And I navigate to "Export" in current page administration
+    And I open the autocomplete suggestions list
+    And I should see "Student 1" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    And I should see "Teacher 1" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    And I should not see "Student 2" in the ".form-autocomplete-suggestions" "css_element"
+    # This will fail if an exception is thrown. This is the best we can do without the ability to use the download. Hence, there is no "Then" step.
+    And I click on "Export" "button"
+    And I log out
