Display current session name in mink

Question

I am doing some tests with zombie.js and phantom.js, I would like to display my active session name before each test. Which method can I use?

With behat 3.0 and mink 1.6.

Answer 1

You can use hooks. BeforeSuite, AfterSuite, BeforeFeature, AfterFeature, BeforeScenario, AfterScenario, BeforeStep, AfterStep

Example

/**
 * @BeforeSuite
 */
 public static function prepare(SuiteEvent $event)
 {
     // prepare system for test suite
     // before it runs
 }

 /**
  * @AfterScenario @database
  */
 public function cleanDB(ScenarioEvent $event)
 {
     // clean database after scenarios,
     // tagged with @database
 }

If your class extends MinkContext then you can dump your session with: $this->getSession().

If your class extends BehatContext then you can dump your session with: $this->getMainContext()->getSession()
