Sylius + Vagrant + Behat not working

Question

we are trying to run Behat tests inside vagrant machine, but we keep always getting problems.

This is Vagrant machine we are using https://github.com/vranac/vagrant-sylius-setup

So first issue was with cookies, we resolved that but now every scenario that is @javascript is failing

Here is example

In screenshot which we got after error is says that route is missing?

Any Idea how to resolve this?

Answer 1

I have faced and managed to resolve this particular issue.

The key issue was the fact that ChromeWebdriver version (2.29) was either incompatible with Google Chrome version (59.0) or it had a bug in regards to setting cookies (Changelog does mention some work on cookies).

A working combination for me currently is ChromeDriver 2.30 + Google Chrome 59.0 - check those versions.

Another thing I had to change was the session handler to use proper sessions instead of mocksess(ions). In app/config/config_test.yml I've change the framework > session section like this:

framework:
    test: ~
    session:
        handler_id: session.handler.native_file
        save_path: '/tmp/php-sessions'

And yet another thing to check is if the sessions are created/read/written without any permission issues. I did face an issue at one point where I was running behat with vagrant user so it created the session file with this user as owner, but when it went through Selenium/Chrome back to the webserver then it tried to access it with www-data user and failed due to permission restrictions. As a workaround, I am now running behat under www-data user as well: sudo -E -u www-data bin/behat .... Similar issues may happen for caches too.

It seems that for Vagrant specifically Sylius forces cache/log directories to be placed in /dev/shm/sylius, which in case of shared dir (between host and guest) is a performance boost, but also implies strict permission checks (See https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius/blob/79a5285/src/Sylius/Bundle/CoreBundle/Application/Kernel.php#L162-L164 )
