zombie 2.0.0-alpha31 version is not compatible with this driver

[niepi]

Hi, I got v1.1.0 with zombie.js 2.0.0-alpha31 and always get Your zombie.js version is not compatible with this driver. Please use a version <= 1.4.1, but your write in the README.md please use version 2.0.0-alpha1 or higher.

Which version combination should I use?

[aik099]

There is no released version of MinkZombieDriver that is compatible with Zombie 2.0+. I can only recommend using dev-master of both driver and Mink to get it working.

thx, now this works

@aik099 can you please post the composer configuration for this?

I am using the following composer.json and still getting this notice:

{
  "require": {
    "behat/behat": "2.4.*@stable",
    "behat/mink": "*@dev",
    "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "*",

    "behat/symfony2-extension": "*"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "config": {
    "bin-dir": "bin/"
  }
}

Fixed this notice by installing the requested version of zombie.js:

npm install -g zombie@1.4.1

[aik099]

Because of "behat/behat": "2.4.*@stable", line all other dependencies don't use dev-master versions, but use latest stable version.

Try changing composer.json to look like this:

{
  "require": {
    "behat/behat": "2.4.*@stable",
    "behat/mink-extension": "*@dev",
    "behat/mink": "*@dev",
    "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "*@dev",
    "behat/mink-zombie-driver": "*@dev",
    "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "*@dev",
    "behat/symfony2-extension": "*"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "config": {
    "bin-dir": "bin/"
  }
}

Is there a way to do it without setting the minimum-stability option to dev? That impacts the whole project. With minimum-stability to stable, nothing is updated even with the "*@dev" in every driver.

[aik099]

There were changes in both driver and Mink itself make it work with latest Zombie. I'm afraid, that driver dev version alone isn't enough. You also should set 1.5@dev to the behat/mink in composer.json.

And @dev is only adhered in final composer.json (one, that includes mink & drivers).

[aik099]

And I don't recommend using * in version constraint. Also dev-master as version should do the trick, but that's the same as ~1.2@dev (for the driver).

[arnaugm]

With

"behat/mink": "1.5@dev",
"behat/mink-zombie-driver": "~1.2@dev"

I get

  Problem 1
    - Can only install one of: behat/mink[v1.5.0, 1.6.x-dev].
    - Can only install one of: behat/mink[1.6.x-dev, v1.5.0].
    - behat/mink-zombie-driver 1.2.x-dev requires behat/mink ~1.6@dev -> satisfiable by behat/mink[1.6.x-dev].
    - Installation request for behat/mink-zombie-driver ~1.2@dev -> satisfiable by behat/mink-zombie-driver[1.2.x-dev].
    - Installation request for behat/mink 1.5@dev -> satisfiable by behat/mink[v1.5.0].

[aik099]

I see, then try changing behat/mink version to the ~1.6@dev. Does that help. I myself have all dev versions, that's why I can't experiment much locally.

[arnaugm]

A problem with the mink extension

  Problem 1
    - behat/mink-extension v1.1.4 requires behat/mink >=1.4.3,<1.6-dev -> no matching package found.
    - behat/mink-extension v1.1.4 requires behat/mink >=1.4.3,<1.6-dev -> no matching package found.
    - Installation request for behat/mink-extension == 1.1.4.0 -> satisfiable by behat/mink-extension[v1.1.4].

The extension is defined like

"behat/mink-extension": "*@dev"

[aik099]

Now you see the point of manipulations with versions I hope to choose each package version that will satisfy any other package that is using it. I'll let you continue on your own 😉

[arnaugm]

Sure, the fact is that I'm a bit confused when there are no numbers, so if we define *@dev, what are we saying exactly? Use the very last commit? And with ~1.2@dev or 1.2.x-dev? What are the differences?

[aik099]

When we say @dev then we allow non-released version to kick in. Using branch-alias (https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/aliases.md#branch-alias) key in the composer.json of included package it's possible to alias dev-master (which is branch named master) to a particular version (the 1.2.x in this case or 1.2.* if you prefer). Then versions of packages are compared to see what fits.

I recommend reading more about how Composer does that version matching if you're interested.

I did it before but maybe too superficial, I'll have a deeper look, thanks :)
