未加载Symfony2 Selenium Behat base_url

Question

I am setting up a testing env for an application in symfony2 but I get some errors that I don't find a coherent answer online...

composer json

"require-dev": {
  ...
  "behat/symfony2-extension": "^2.1",
  "behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "^1.3",
  "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "@stable",
  "behat/mink-extension": "@stable",
  "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "^1.3"
},

behat.yml - old one

default:
    extensions:
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            base_url: 'http://myapp.lan/app_test.php/'
            browser_name: firefox
            default_session: selenium2
            goutte: ~
            selenium2: ~
            javascript_session: selenium2

        Behat\Symfony2Extension: ~

behat.yml - new one

feature

Feature: Test login of users

  @javascript
  Scenario: Login to application
    Given: I am on "/"
      Then I should see "Login"

I am using

• selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.50.1.jar .

• Firefox 44 installed in my OS (Linux Mint)

The browser starts but there no url triggered.

As you see the url input is empty and after few seconds the browser closes with the test failing.

When i run echo $this->getSession()->getCurrentUrl(); I get about:blank so obviously base_url is ignored.

If i enter the url manually then everything is OK.

I don't have a VM or something else installed just a linux box with latest version of firefox/chrome and latest version of selenium which is also my dev environment.

I can confirm that this example worked for me. Got it from Installing behat3 with composer.json

composer.json

{
    "require-dev": {
        "behat/behat" : "3.0.15",
        "behat/symfony2-extension" : "2.0.0",
        "behat/mink": "1.6.1",
        "behat/mink-extension": "2.0.1",
        "behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "1.2.0",
        "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "1.1.0",
        "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "1.2.0"
    }
}

behat.yml

default:
    extensions:
        Behat\Symfony2Extension: ~
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            base_url: http://myapp.lan/app_test.php
            browser_name: firefox
            sessions:
                goutte:
                    goutte: ~
                selenium2:
                    selenium2: ~
                symfony2:
                    symfony2: ~
    suites:
        backend:
            type: symfony_bundle
            bundle: ApplicationBackendBundle #Change this with your
            mink_session: symfony2
            contexts:
                - Application\BackendBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext: #Change this with your
                    param1: hello
                    param2: world

FeatureContext

namespace Application\BackendBundle\Features\Context;

use Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext;

class FeatureContext extends MinkContext
{
    private $param1;
    private $param2;

    public function __construct($param1, $param2)
    {
        $this->param1 = $param1;
        $this->param2 = $param2;
    }
}

Gherkin

Feature: Visit pages and see contents

  Scenario: I visit home page and see welcome message
    Given I am on "/"
    Then I should see "Welcome to Application!"

  Scenario: I visit contact page and see contact message
    Given I am on "/contact"
    Then I should see "Contact me!"

ADDITION

Selenium and Firefox have compatibility issues that I myself experienced before. If you Google, you'll see similar posts. Try in this order:

1. Try selenium-server-standalone-2.43.1.jar version. https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.43/
2. Try Chrome browser by using chromedriver. Running selenium server standalone and chromedriver

You should really go through http://www.inanzzz.com/index.php/posts/behat for examples.
