Not working with laravel 8

[MWL91]

This is not working with new version of Laravel.
Also behat/mink-extension doesn't work with new symfony kernel.

I found solution for that, and used friends-of-behat/symfony-extension, but then this library returns me with

Class 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client' not found

How can I resolve this problem?

[MWL91]

Solution for that was quitely easy, you just need to change class use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client; into use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernelBrowser as Client;.

To do that, overwrite KernelDriver class using composer.

In composer add this:

"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/",
            "Database\\Factories\\": "database/factories/",
            "Database\\Seeders\\": "database/seeders/"
        },
        "files": [
            "behat-overwrite/KernelDriver.php"
        ]
    },

And create file behat-overwrite/KernelDriver.php with contents below:

<?php

namespace Laracasts\Behat\Driver;

use Behat\Mink\Driver\BrowserKitDriver;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernelBrowser as Client;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernelInterface;

class KernelDriver extends BrowserKitDriver
{

    /**
     * Create a new KernelDriver.
     *
     * @param HttpKernelInterface $app
     * @param string|null         $baseUrl
     */
    public function __construct(HttpKernelInterface $app, $baseUrl = null)
    {
        parent::__construct(new Client($app), $baseUrl);
    }

    /**
     * Refresh the driver.
     *
     * @param HttpKernelInterface $app
     * @return KernelDriver
     */
    public function reboot($app)
    {
        return $this->__construct($app);
    }

}

It will works then fine :)

I've created Pull Request #90 for that.
If you want you can try also user my fork adding

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/MWL91/Behat-Laravel-Extension"
        }
    ]

and dev-require "laracasts/behat-laravel-extension": "dev-master as 1.1.1"

[Evoke-PHP]

In the "require-dev" section of composer.json I found that I also needed to add the following:

"friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "dev-master as 1.3.4",
"friends-of-behat/mink-extension": "dev-master as 2.3.1",

[MWL91]

Yes, but you dont need to do that If you are not using mink :)

This worked great, until I went to deploy this code to a non-local/testing environment. All my behat/mink stuff was in composer.json under require-dev, so on startup, I got the following error:

[Error]
Class "Behat\Mink\Driver\BrowserKitDriver" not found
Exception trace:
.../behat-overwrite/KernelDriver.php:9

Which points to:

use Behat\Mink\Driver\BrowserKitDriver;

So, if you have all of your behat/mink stuff in require-dev (as you should, since it's for testing), make sure you modify your composer.php to match:

"autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
        "Tests\\": "tests/"
    },
    "files": [
        "behat-overwrite/KernelDriver.php"
    ]
},

Basically, add "behat-overwrite/KernelDriver.php" to "autoload-dev"'s "files" array instead of "autoload" (non-dev)

@TimothyDLewis @MWL91 @Evoke-PHP @JeffreyWay in order to bring support for Behat as an option to write acceptance test in laravel I have created a new repository / behat-extension. Do you know anyone interested in supporting / helping / maintaining with me this component? The library its already updated but i just give support from PHP 8.0

It's a private repository at the moment, but if someone wants access I can give you access

[MWL91]

Make it public 😉

[soulcodex]

@MWL91 Its already public 😄 Laravel Behat Extension and available from Packagist
