Using PhantomJS both with Selenium and in replace of Selenium

With Selenium

Here is my example behat profile for this one

phantom_via_selenium:
  paths:
    features: app/tests/acceptance/features/ui
    bootstrap: app/tests/acceptance/contexts
  context:
    parameters:
      base_url: https://behat.dev:443
      asset_path: '/tmp/'
  extensions:
    Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
      default_session: selenium2
      goutte:
        guzzle_parameters:
          curl.options:
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER: false
            CURLOPT_CERTINFO: false
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT: 120
          ssl.certificate_authority: false
      selenium2:
        wd_host: "http://selenium-server.dev:4444/wd/hub"
        capabilities:
          browser: phantomjs
      base_url: 'https://behat.dev:443'
      browser_name: 'phantomjs'

And as usual you start up selenium.

In both cases the test is this one

@javascript @thisone
Feature: Testing
  Scenario: Testing Wiki
    Given I am on "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"
    Then I should see "Wiki"
    And I take a screenshot

This allows me to take screenshots as well screenshot which is super handy.

Also note http://selenium-server.dev:4444/wd/hub works because in my /etc/hosts file I set 127.0.0.1 to be that domain. You could easily do http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub

Without Selenium

This one will now run via phantom as the “selenium” server

phantom_ui:
  paths:
    features: app/tests/acceptance/features/ui
    bootstrap: app/tests/acceptance/contexts
  context:
    parameters:
      base_url: https://behat.dev:443
      asset_path: '/tmp/'
  extensions:
    Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
      default_session: selenium2
      goutte:
        guzzle_parameters:
          curl.options:
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER: false
            CURLOPT_CERTINFO: false
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT: 120
          ssl.certificate_authority: false
      selenium2:
        wd_host: "http://localhost:8643/wd/hub"
        capabilities:
          browser: phantomjs
      base_url: 'https://behat.dev:443'
      browser_name: 'phantomjs'

This is really thanks to http://shashikantjagtap.net
