Checkbox "foo" is not checked, but it should be.

[Mariusz Łączak]

I'm trying to test whether the foo checkbox is checked:

<form>
    <input type="checkbox" name="foo" id="foo" value="on" checked="checked">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Given I am on "/"
Then the "foo" checkbox should be checked

And I'm getting:

Checkbox "foo" is not checked, but it should be.

Is Behat/Behat#298 fixed?

There was a fix in MinkBrowserKitDriver (see Behat/MinkBrowserKitDriver@258d2c7) which fixed check for checkboxes with value attribute different from 1 and 0.

It was released as part MinkBrowserKitDriver 2.0 version. What version are you using? Better yet list all package versions that composer is using.

I have:

behat/behat                  v3.0.14 Scenario-oriented BDD framework for PHP 5.3
behat/gherkin                v4.3.0  Gherkin DSL parser for PHP 5.3
behat/mink                   v1.5.0  Web acceptance testing framework for PHP 5.3
behat/mink-browserkit-driver v1.1.0  Symfony2 BrowserKit driver for Mink framework
behat/mink-extension         v2.0.1  Mink extension for Behat
behat/mink-goutte-driver     v1.0.9  Goutte driver for Mink framework
behat/mink-selenium-driver   v1.1.0  Selenium driver for Mink framework
behat/mink-selenium2-driver  v1.1.1  Selenium2 (WebDriver) driver for Mink framework
behat/transliterator         v1.0.1  String transliterator

And that's why it's not working: you have v1.1.0 of MinkBrowserKitDriver where it's still the issue. Maybe you're locking used version of your dependencies in the composer.json?

[Mariusz Łączak]

In the composer.json I have:

        "behat/behat": "*",
        "behat/mink": "*",
        "behat/mink-extension": "*",
        "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "*",
        "behat/mink-selenium-driver": "*",
        "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "*"

and in the mink-goutte-driver's composer.json I see:

"require": {
        "php":                           ">=5.3.1",
        "behat/mink-browserkit-driver":  ">=1.0.5,<1.2.0",
        "fabpot/goutte":                 "~1.0.1"
    },

[Alex]

But the MinkGoutteDriver already released 1.1.0 version with different MinkBrowserKitDriver dependency. Using * is bad idea, so I believe that what version of each driver is used is determined by lowest denominator: some package requires something old and that forces all drivers to use their old version.

I'd recommend you specifying exact (or with ~) version of each package and see what happens after composer update.

You know 2 things already:

• use behat/mink ~1.6
• use behat/mink-goutte-driver ~1.1

Using * is bad idea, so I believe that what version of each driver is used is determined by lowest denominator

That's what I thought. I specified with ~ and works like a charm.
Thanks for helping.
