Custom port configuration issue

[Marco De Bortoli]

I'm desperatly trying to have behat to run headless tests using mink and goutte on top of the PHP built-in webserver runnin on a custom port but I'm probably missing or overlooking something.

Following is the configuration I'm currently using:
https://gist.github.com/debo/2ed20f22685b816bfb9d

I also tried to add the port to the base_url but it doesn't work either. A quick initial investigation suggests that the problem is here:

https://github.com/symfony/browser-kit/blob/master/Client.php#L534

No matter what the port seems to get stripped off. Any idea about how to make this work properly?

Well, you need to put it in the base_url, not as a curl option. And then, it should work

[Marco De Bortoli]

As I said, even passed in the base_url doesn't work. That was the very first thing I tried even before getting dirty with the curl options. I ended up using the curl options because the guzzle throws the exception but I think that's just a mere consequence.

well, MinkGoutteDriver itself works with custom ports: this is exactly our setup on Travis, where we run the builtin webserver on port 8000 for the fixtures website.

So I see a few possible reasons:

• you are not using the latest versions of Goutte (there was a bug in the past with custom ports) or of another package involved (Mink, MinkGoutteDriver, BrowserKit, etc...)
• your website is broken and returns links containing absolute urls built without including the port number (in which case it is a good news that your tests are failing as it allows to discover the bug)
• the bug is coming from the Behat layer built on top of Mink (which would have to be debugged)

I'm putting together some testing code so you can maybe have a look too, if you have time of course; in the meantime I'll have a look at your travis configuration as well. As per the versions, it's a brand new project so composer requires all the latest I would assume:

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Framework\\": "app"
    }
  },
  "config": {
    "bin-dir": "bin"
  },
  "require": {
    "symfony/http-foundation": "^2.7",
    "symfony/routing": "^2.7",
    "symfony/http-kernel": "^2.7",
    "symfony/event-dispatcher": "^2.7",
    "symfony/dependency-injection": "^2.7",
    "twig/twig": "^1.23"
  },
  "require-dev": {
    "phpspec/phpspec": "^2.3",
    "behat/behat": "^3.0",
    "behat/mink-extension": "^2.1",
    "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "^1.2"
  }
}

@stof I gave you access to some sample code you shoud be familiar with; I'm starting the project with:

~ php -S localhost:5555 -t web web/rewrite.php

and then simply run bin/behat and get the following:

Feature: Site navigation
  In order to enjoy the website experience
  As a visitor
  I want to be able to navigate through the website

  Scenario: View Homepage                      # features/core.feature:6
    Given visit the website for the first time # FeatureContext::visitTheWebsiteForTheFirstTime()
    When I am on page "/"                      # FeatureContext::iAmOnPage()
      cURL error 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) (GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException)
    Then I should see "Welcome to Stardust!"
      Ambiguous match of "I should see "Welcome to Stardust!"":
      to `I should see :arg1` from FeatureContext::iShouldSee()
      to `/^(?:|I )should see "(?P<text>(?:[^"]|\\")*)"$/` from FeatureContext::assertPageContainsText()

--- Failed scenarios:

    features/core.feature:6

Thanks a lot for your help.

@debo there was a bug in your context. You were bypassing the RawMinkContext logic to apply the base URL. And BrowserKit indeed uses http://localhost as base url when you give it a non-absolute URL (you were passing / here) and there is no browsing history. See the PR I sent you on the code you shared with me

[Marco De Bortoli]

To add further details to for posterity reading, based on the following basic feature file:

Feature: Site navigation
  In order to enjoy the website experience
  As a visitor
  I want to be able to navigate through the website

  Scenario: View Homepage
    Given visit the website for the first time
    When I am on page "/"
    Then I should see "Welcome guest!"

I did try to implement my context in the following way:

class FeatureContext extends MinkContext implements Context, SnippetAcceptingContext
{
    // ...
    public function visitTheWebsiteForTheFirstTime()
    {
        $this->session = $this->getSession();
    }
    // ...
    public function iAmOnPage($page)
    {
        $this->session->visit($page);
    }
    // ...
}

When the right and recommended way in this case is to do the following instead:

class FeatureContext extends RawMinkContext implements Context, SnippetAcceptingContext
{
    // ...
    public function visitTheWebsiteForTheFirstTime()
    {
    }
    // ...
    public function iAmOnPage($page)
    {
        $this->visitPath($page);
    }
    // ...
}

This is also means that anything that you might find on google which suggest to set guzzle parameters are beyond unnecessary.

@stof thanks again for your help, very appreciated.
