shared sessionStrategy: UnknownError when getSession() called in second test method

[Jodes81]

I have come across the error when modifying the "GeneralTest" class given in the examples.

To reproduce:

1. I add this to the $browser array: 'sessionStrategy' => 'shared'
2. I copy the method testUsingSession() and paste as testUsingSession2()

For now, the only workaround I have is to omit the shared session declaration and have a new browser window load for each test method - very slow.

The shared session concept comes from https://github.com/minkphp/phpunit-mink repo. You should be reporting there instead of this https://github.com/minkphp/Mink repo.

Can you please describe what you want to achieve instead?

It's my first project with Mink and Behat and am still getting a feel for it all. Thanks for pointing out phpunit-mink, I understand now.

I just wanted to speed up tests, sharing sessions seems like a fundamental I need to get working!

Thanks for your help

When you create task in correct repo post link to it here so it can be tracked properly.

Talking about terminology:

• Behat + Mink = use gherkin language to write scenarios + run them using Behat feature context classes
• PHPUnit-Mink + Mink = write PHPUnit tests directly using Mink language

PHPUnit-Mink + Behat + Mink isn't really a possibility, because you can use either 2 together.
