Drop support for behat/mink-extension in favor of friends-of-behat/mink-extension

[robertfausk]

What is the issue?

I can not upgrade to Symfony 5.x respectively I have two versions of mink-extension installed.

docker@94a71a61aa04:/var/www/html$ composer why friends-of-behat/mink-extension
robertfausk/behat-panther-extension  v1.0.6  requires  friends-of-behat/mink-extension (^2.3.0)  
soyuka/contexts                      3.3.3   requires  friends-of-behat/mink-extension (^2.3.1)  

docker@94a71a61aa04:/var/www/html$ composer why behat/mink-extension
genesis/behat-fail-aid  3.7.2  requires  behat/mink-extension (~2.0)  

How did it happen?

https://github.com/Behat/MinkExtension is outdated (last release on 5 Mar 2018).
As a drop in replacement https://github.com/FriendsOfBehat/MinkExtension can be used.

What should have happened?

behat-fail-aid automatically uses friends-of-behat/mink-extension instead of behat/mink-extension.
I do not know if there is an easy way to support both librarys without introducing a BC.

Hey @robertfausk ,

Thanks for raising this. I'll give this a go soon. I'd appreciate a pull request if you can raise one. It would be ace if the replacement worked out. For BC the other versions are still out there that can be used.

Question: Is the travis build still working?
The badge in the README points to a 404.
If travis is not an option anymore then I would recommend to use Gitbhub Actions and I can provide a PR for the use of GHA instead of travis if you want me to.
I would like to have a stable build before replacing behat/mink-extension with friends-of-behat/mink-extension.

It seems that the replace: in the composer.json of friends-of-behat/mink-extension has solved my issue.
forceedge01/behat-fail-aid is now working for me, even in symfony 5.x projects.
Nonetheless I think the old repo should be replaced.

Travis does work, best way to find out I guess is to push a change up. It may be an access related thing or the link may have changed since this last ran (10 months ago). I don't mind a github actions PR if you'd like to push one in (even if travis still runs on the side) just to see how GHA works out compared to Travis.

The friendsofBehat repo doesn't have an official stand point i.e it doesn't say that it replaces the old one neither is the old one abandoned - i'll dig a bit further to see what needs doing soon. Thanks for raising this.

Any updates on this?

Not sure which package is responsible, but I'm now running into the "Ambiguous class resolution" described here: Behat/MinkExtension#370

FYI, latest releases for drupal/drupal-extension aka https://github.com/jhedstrom/drupalextension and dmore/behat-chrome-extension aka https://gitlab.com/behat-chrome/behat-chrome-extension have switched to using the friends-of-behat package.

@aaronbauman thanks for reporting. Can you run the commands in verboae mode and dump the output here?

Also what steps and commands have you executed to get this issue?

[aaronbauman]

Here's are the packages that (i think) create the conflict:

$ composer why friends-of-behat/mink-extension

dmore/behat-chrome-extension 1.4.0  requires friends-of-behat/mink-extension (^2.0)

$ composer why behat/mink-extension

genesis/behat-fail-aid      2.5.3      requires                   behat/mink-extension (~2.0@stable) 

And here's the full composer install output:

I resolved this by explicitly updating the friends-of-behat/mink-extension package:

composer update friends-of-behat/mink-extension

which should pull in the "replace" from the composer.json file linked.

@aaronbauman its a bit late, but does the above solution work for you? The friends of behat repo does not have an official stand point (well they do which isn't very encouraging) hence I am reluctant on the change unless the old one gets abandoned.

[forceedge01]

@robertfausk thanks for your comment from awhile - it made me look at travis CI and indeed they've moved to a payment plan model since. Will fix this soon.

[aaronbauman]

composer install works now, thanks.

behat jobs are still failing, but i don't think it's this package that's causing the failure.
