Mink Zombie driver isn't working

[Shashikant86]

Just trying to run my phpunit tests through Mink and Zombie driver. Here is my config

array(
            'driver' => 'zombie',

            // Defaults for this driver
            'port' => 8124,
            'driverOptions' => array(
                'node_bin' => 'node',
                'server_path' => null,
                'threshold' => 2000000,
                'node_modules_path' => '/Users/path to/node_modules/',
            ),
        ),

I have installed zombie locally with npm and exported NODE_PATH in my .zshrc

When I run my test I get following

PHPUnit 4.5.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

E

Time: 4.12 seconds, Memory: 6.75Mb

There was 1 error:

FAILURES!

I am not sure if I am missing any config ?

Have someone tried that ?

'node_modules_path' => '/Users/path to/node_modules/',

You can override this from browser configuration array.

Questions/Ideas:

1. If used Zombie version is 4.x or higher, then:
   • you need to specify path to IO.JS installation instead of Node.JS installation (I have no idea why "npm install" even gets Zombie 4.x)
   • downgrade to Zombie 3.x or smaller
2. Does example from https://github.com/minkphp/MinkZombieDriver repo homepage work?

@aik099 npm only shows a warning when the engine does not match, but it does not prevent installing it (yeah, I also consider it as WTF)

@aik099 Given up with this one 'MinkBundle' did good job with phpunit. It didn't count WebAssert assertions but writing another proxy did the job. Works great with GhostDriver + MinkBundle + PHUUnit combination.

[aik099]

@Shashikant86 , I don't understand you.

If you have a computer where Zombie + MinkBundle + PHPUnit-Mink are installed and Zombie works in MinkBundle, but doesn't in PHPUnit-Mink, then surely there is something wrong with set of options used to connect to Zombie.

I just wanted for you to print ones used at MinkBundle (at low level where ZombieServer class is created) and do the same for PHPUnit-Mink.

I am working on a legacy project, introduced functional testing and ran into this issue. There is a SessionProxy used that starts the session on the visit method call. A call like $this->getSession()->executeScript('alert("Hello");') will result on an error that the server didn't start. Either have a static session that stores the visit method result call to use in your tests or always call visit in each test.

@rbrisita , That is an expected Mink behavior, where session is auto-started upon page is visited via Session->visit method call. You can't execute any JS on a page until you have actually opened it.
