Using Behat version 3 in conjunction with the Google Chrome browser

Struggling to set up behat 3 with chrome and encountering issues while trying to initialize the behat.yml file.

default:
  extensions:
    Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
      base_url: 'http://someurl.com'
      javascript_session: selenium2
      selenium2:
        browser: chrome
      goutte: ~

The contents of my composer.json file are as follows:

{
    "require-dev": {
    "behat/behat": "3.*@stable",
    "behat/mink": "1.6.*@stable",
    "behat/mink-extension": "@stable",
    "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "@stable",
    "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "*",
    "peridot-php/webdriver-manager": "dev-master",
    "bossa/phpspec2-expect": "*"
  },
  "config": {
    "bin-dir": "bin"
  }
}

Facing the error message:

[Behat\Testwork\ServiceContainer\Exception\ExtensionInitializationException]
Behat\MinkExtension\Extension extension file or class could not be located.

Answer 1

Answer №1

It appears that there is an issue

The Behat\MinkExtension\Extension extension file or class cannot be found.

To resolve this, you must remove the word "Extension" from behat.yml and replace Behat\MinkExtension\Extension: with Behat\MinkExtension:

Once this adjustment is made, everything should function properly.

For a solution, consider updating the extensions block in your yml configurations file to something similar to this example:

extensions:
    Behat\MinkExtension:
        base_url: "http://www.your-web.com/"
        sessions:
            chrome_mac:
                selenium2:
                    browser: "chrome"
                    wd_host: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4444/wd/hub
                    capabilities:
                        platform: WINDOWS
                        browser: chrome
                        version: ""
                        extra_capabilities:
                            chromeOptions:
                                args:
                                    - "--start-maximized"

The "extra_capabilities section is not mandatory but can be included if needed. This should resolve the issue at hand!

In my testing projects, I exclusively use the default Chrome browser. This has proven to be effective for me and may also work well for you.

default:
  autoload:
    '': %paths.base%/features/bootstrap
  extensions:
    Behat\MinkExtension:
      base_url: https://www.example.com
      default_session: selenium2
      files_path: features/Resources
      show_cmd: 'open %s'
      selenium2:
        browser: chrome
        wd_host: http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
