Dependency injection not working fresh install

[kennaar]

Hi,

I'm trying to install this package but I get an error at the first step already. I should mention that I install this package through a symlink (path repository). The steps I'm doing:

# path repository
composer require --dev friends-of-behat/symfony-extension:^2.0

# actual application
composer require --dev friends-of-behat/symfony-extension:*@dev
# which outputs something like this:
# ...
# Installing behat/behat (dev-master): Symlinking from ../packages/vendor/behat/behat
# Installing friends-of-behat/symfony-extension (dev-master): Symlinking from ../packages/vendor/friends-of-behat/symfony-extension
# ...

I allow the contrib recipe to be executed.

$ vendor/bin/behat

    As a user
    I want to have a demo scenario


In Validator.php line 61:
                                                                                                                       
  Can not find a matching value for an argument `$kernel` of the method `App\Tests\Behat\DemoContext::__construct()`.

I'm a bit stuck here because installing the "official" behat symfony extension also doesn't work because I'm using Symfony 5.1. Thanks in advance.

the same problem

[unixslayer]

@knnnrd had the same problem #132

All I did was to change context class constructor. Can you be more specific on what you are doing? Please paste your container configuration services_test.yaml and your context class. Also behat.yaml configuration will be helpful.

I haven't "done" anything yet except for installing the package and trying to run the example feature file.

@unixslayer Any idea?

[unixslayer]

@knnnrd sorry for delay.

My current configuration looks like this

;behat.yaml.dist
default:
    suites:
        default:
            contexts:
                - behatch:context:rest
                - behatch:context:json
                - behatch:context:debug
                - Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext
                - Acme\Behat\Context\MessengerContext

    extensions:
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            sessions:
                default:
                    symfony: ~
        Behatch\Extension: ~
        FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
            bootstrap: 'features/bootstrap.php'

;config/services_test.yaml
services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true
        autoconfigure: true

    Acme\Behat\:
        resource: '../src/Acme/Behat'

I haven't done anything really and everything works just fine. But what I've noticed is that Symfony cache is not rebuild after running Behat when something got change. For example, when I create new route, I have to manually remove cache rm -rf var/cache/* or feature that uses new route will always get 404. Perhaps this is a cache issue. Didn't have much time to investigate yet.

[kennaar]

@unixslayer Unfortunately clearing the cache also doesn't help. I tried installing all the extensions that you also have (some weird dependency maybe?), but still the same issue. I will try setting up a completely new and fresh symfony project with this library and see if the issue is also there.

[kennaar]

No problem at all in a fresh symfony 5.1 project. I'm kinda at a loss here on what to do. I can't show my project since it's closed-source. I haven't deviated that much I think from a standard Symfony/API Platform installation. Any more ideas?

[EVDW]

I don't know if it can be useful, but I had this kind of issue last time and I solved it with this conf: behat.yml.dist

FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
    kernel:
        path: src/Kernel.php
        class: App\Kernel
        environment: test

services_test

services:
    Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\TestContainer: '@test.service_container'

    _defaults:
        public: true
        autowire: true
        autoconfigure: true

    Context\:
        resource: '../features/Context/*Context.php'

(my Contexts use TestContainer in their construct)

[kennaar]

@EVDW Thanks for your input but sadly the same error

[hulkthedev]

I have this error too, just after installing the recipe. Doesn't the developer want to solve it? There are some with this bug here... The problem on my mashine is, the services_test.yml is not read by the framework because Behat runs in dev mode, not test.

I moved this configuration App\Tests\Behat\: resource: '../tests/Behat/*' to services.yml and it works.

[mpdude]

    /**
     * @When a demo scenario sends a request to :path
     */
    public function aDemoScenarioSendsARequestTo(string $path): void
    {
        $this->response = $this->kernel->handle(Request::create($path, 'GET'));
    }

This is not how this is supposed to be used.

The $kernel instance here is the one being used to autowire your context classes, but for making requests against your application you should use the Mink driver included in this package here.

Please remember that "the developer" is actually "any developer", since this is an open source, so you're always welcome to contribute to fix things If you ask questions, the lovely people here, I'm sure, will help guide you.

However, I might have the solution.

I was also having this issue on a project, so I took the time to spin up a sandbox environment with a fresh symfony install, installed Behat & this extension and it worked, so then Xdebugged the 2 side by side, and found that the problem was that they DemoContext was not being found in my service container, so wasn't being autowired.

The reason… I had converted my services.yaml file to a services.php file, which apparently means that my services_test.yaml file was not being loaded. As soon as I converted my services_test.yaml file to a services_test.php file it worked again.

I hope this info helps all you others who might still be having this problem 🍀
