I’m trying to test a Symfony3 web application with Behat/Mink and Selenium2Driver so that I can test Javascript functionallity too.
The application runs in a docker container, so I added a new docker container for selenium-hub and chrome as described here:
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.5' # Docker Engine release 17.12.0+
networks:
servicesnet:
driver: bridge
services:
apache:
build:
context: './apache2'
container_name: apache-service
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
tty: true
networks:
- servicesnet
volumes:
- ${HOST_APACHE_CONFIG}:/etc/apache2
- ${HOST_PAGES_PATH}:/var/www/localhost/htdocs
selenium-hub:
image: selenium/hub:4.0.0-alpha-6-20200730
container_name: selenium-hub
ports:
- "4444:4444"
networks:
- servicesnet
chrome:
image: selenium/node-chrome:4.0.0-alpha-6-20200730
volumes:
- /dev/shm:/dev/shm
depends_on:
- selenium-hub
environment:
- HUB_HOST=selenium-hub
networks:
- servicesnet
When I run docker-compose up
it outputs for the new containers:

Then I have the next method for every test:
<?php
namespace TestsAppBundleController;
use BehatMinkDriverSelenium2Driver;
use BehatMinkMink;
use BehatMinkSession;
use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleClient;
use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleTestWebTestCase;
abstract class BaseControllerTest extends WebTestCase
{
/**
* @var Client
*/
protected $client;
/**
* @var Session
*/
protected $session;
public function visitUri($uri)
{
$this->client = static::createClient();
$pass = $this->client->getKernel()->getContainer()->getParameter('http_basic_auth_pass');
$host = 'localhost'; // I've tried several things here (like 172.28.0.5:5555)
$driver = new Selenium2Driver('chrome');
$mink = new Mink(array(
'chrome' => new Session($driver)
));
$driver->setTimeouts(['page load' => 900000]);
$mink->setDefaultSessionName('chrome');
$this->session = $mink->getSession();
$this->session->visit('http://user:' . $pass . '@' . $host . $uri);
}
}
And I call this method from a specific test:
public function testClickOnSearch()
{
$this->visitUri(/mi-custom-uri);
$page = $this->session->getPage();
$this->session->wait(
200000,
"typeof jQuery !== 'undefined'"
);
$page->findButton('Buton text')->click();
$this->assertContains('my-custom-uri-2', $this->session->getCurrentUrl());
}
but I never get the session started. If I go to http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/session/url
I see this error message:
"org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchSessionException: Unable to find session with ID: urlnBuild info: version: ‘4.0.0-alpha-6’, revision: ‘5f43a29cfc’nSystem info: host: ‘fca78c7f81e6’, ip: ‘172.28.0.3’, os.name: ‘Linux’, os.arch: ‘amd64’, os.version: ‘5.4.0-42-generic’, java.version: ‘1.8.0_252’nDriver info: driver.version: unknown"
And executing the test, after 200 seconds this error is thrown:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function click() on null
I’m sure something is missing but don’t know what. Any idea?

This error message…
…implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session which gets reflected in the logs as:
Hence moving forward you see the error:
and the most probhable cause is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using.
Solution
Ensure that:
driver.quit()
withintearDown(){}
method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.References
You can find a couple of relevant detailed discussions in:
Found you using selenium inside docker container. Than you can try environment variable SE_NODE_SESSION_TIMEOUT=999999
