Don't bother installing Mink... you're asking for heartache.

Use (facebook) php-webdriver.

• Mink is probably a great tool for basic websites that don't implement a heavy back-end system.
• Mink COULD be a winner IF
  • migrates to selenium3 webdriver
  • exposes the entire selenium3 api
  • provides a means to send XPATH directly to selenium api
    • currently catches, parses, translates, THEN sends to api
  • provides a means to send CSS directly to selenium api
    • currently catches, parses, translates, THEN sends to api

Behat front end is a solid Cucumber BDD Engine

• Still requires a sensible & well-designed test framework to hook into
• Design the framework around PHPUnit
• Use Behat to provide BDD translation for feature files
• BDD isn't test...

/**

public function iShouldSeeTheModal($title)
{
	$this->getSession()->wait(20000, '(0 === jQuery.active && 0 === jQuery(\':animated\').length)');
	$this->assertElementContainsText('#modal-from-dom .modal-header h3', $title);
	assertTrue($this->getSession()->getPage()->find('css', '#modal-from-dom')->isVisible());
}

I’ll run through this method now line-by-line:

Controlling the Browser

In Mink, the entry point to the browser is called the session. Think about it as being your browser window (some drivers even let you switch tabs!).

First, start your session (it’s like opening your browser tab). Nothing can be done with it before starting it.

• http://mink.behat.org/en/latest/guides/session.html

// Execute JS
$session->executeScript('document.body.firstChild.innerHTML = "";');

// evaluate JS expression:
echo $session->evaluateScript(
    "return 'something from browser';"
);
