• Bottom Line, use methods... annotation require fully qualified namespaces..
• See the site for the full narrative

Ever since I added the @expectedException annotation to PHPUnit I considered using it a best practice. This was reflected in PHPUnit's documentation as well as in my conference presentations and trainings, for instance.
A New Best Practice: expectException()

Ran into errors trying to install drupal/drupal-extension due to symphony/process 3.4.1

• wiped some dependencies
• installed drupal-extension
• then added guzzlehttp & facebook/webdriver

Previously Installed

phpunit 7

behat/behat

behat/mink

facebook/webdriver

drupal/drupal-extension throwing errors for symphony/process 3.4.1(?)

backed out

behat/behat

behat/mink

facebook/webdriver

guzzlehttp/guzzle

then installed

drupal/drupal-extension

guzzlehttp/guzzle

facebook/webdriver

all ok

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

• 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...

Gherkin Filters

If you want to run only part of your suite, or some scenarios, you can do it with name or tags filters.

Tag filters supports three logical operators:

• Tags separated by commas will be combined using the OR operation
• Tags separated by && will be combined using the AND operation
• Tags preceded by ~ will be excluded using the NOT operation

For example:
