Mink integration

SymfonyExtension provides an integration with Mink and defines a dedicated, isolated driver to use for Symfony application testing.

Installation

1. Require the packages needed for the driver using Composer:

composer require --dev behat/mink:^1.7@dev behat/mink-extension behat/mink-browserkit-driver

2. Enable the bundled driver:

# behat.yml.dist / behat.yml

default:
    extensions:
        # ...
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            base_url: 'http://example.com'
            sessions:
                symfony:
                    symfony: ~

Usage

This integration provides two services to use inside Symfony container:

• behat.mink.default_session (autowired by \Behat\Mink\Session) - the default Mink session for the current scenario

• behat.mink.parameters (autowired by \FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension\Mink\MinkParameters) - an object containing the configuration parameters of MinkExtension (implementing \ArrayAccess so that it can be treated as an array)
