Behat
[Suggestion] Make the name capability configurable for each test
Hi,
I'm making a follow-up of the conversation I and @stof had on Twitter yersterday.
What I would like to do is naming the session (BrowserStack / Sauce) on each test so that it's easier to find individual tests for a given project at a given build. It is something possible according to their respective documentations:
- Browserstack in
Other Browserstack capabilities - Saucelabs
Stof said that each test should be isolated, which is not a problem I guess, adding the insulated tag.
Now, I'd like to find a way to make it configurable, via a callback or something in the idea. Do you think it could be done? would gladly do it if it fits the idea of Behat & Mink and does not add too much overhead.
Thanks.

Unfortunately name for the Sauce Labs / BrowserStack is given upon session creation and can't be changed after that. In my tests, in case of failure, I also wanted logs to look cool and show actual test that failed, but to make that happen I had to stop/start session for each test and that's huge overhead considering how long it takes to start a session on Sauce Labs / BrowserStack.
It is something possible according to their respective documentations:
Both services have API library, that when given SessionID of WebDriver can then change it's name on the fly, but that stays the same session. Not different session for each test.
This worked on behat 2 using global variables, please search here selenium2-driver-fork for BROWSERSTACK_SCENARIO and these variables could be set in a BeforeScenario
