I had some issues diagnosing 500 errors that were happening with Mink. The main issue being that a page would 500, but then the test would proceed and fail a later step. Unfortunately the HTML/screenshot that was captured does not capture the error, but instead captures the assertion which doesn’t help debug.

It’s possible to react after a step and check if the last Mink request was a 500 or not. This way, we fail on the 500, and not on the subsequent assertions.

<?php
  /**
   * @AfterStep
   */
  public function afterStep(Behat\Behat\Hook\Scope\AfterStepScope $scope) {
    // Fail if we got a 500.
    try {
      $this->minkContext->assertSession();
      $this->minkContext->assertNotHttpResponse(500);
    }
    catch (Behat\Mink\Exception\DriverException $e) {
      // Page is not loaded.
    }

  }

I needed to get a user’s OAuth credentials from the commandline, for some commandline tools to work (Drush).

You will need OAuth installed from PECL for this, and have an OAuth link set up in JIRA (or whatever OAuth provider you are using).

// Set up the OAuth client.
$oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_RSASHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);

// cert.pem is the certificate you generated for the OAuth link.
$oauth->setRSACertificate(file_get_contents("cert.pem"));

// Get a request token so we can tell the user to visit a page.
$tokens = $oauth->getRequestToken(OAUTH_REQUEST_URL, 'oob', 'POST');
$oauth_token = $tokens['oauth_token'];
$oauth_token_secret = $tokens['oauth_token_secret'];
$oauth->setToken($oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);
print "Go to: " . OAUTH_AUTHORIZE_URL . "?oauth_token=$oauth_token\n";

// Get the authorization code from the user.
$code = readline('Enter the authorization code');
$access_token = $oauth->getAccessToken(OAUTH_ACCESS_URL, NULL, $code, 'POST');
$oauth->setToken($access_token['oauth_token'], $oauth_token_secret);
$tokens['access_token'] = $access_token['oauth_token'];

// From now on you would just need the access token, and the token secret.
$oauth->setToken($tokens['access_token'], $tokens['oauth_token_secret']);
$oauth->fetch("https://protected-url.com/resource");
$content = $oauth->getLastResponse();

function resizeFrame(obj) {
  var frame = jQuery(obj);
  frame.height(frame.contents().find("body").height());
  frame.contents().find('body').bind('DOMAttrModified DOMSubtreeModified DOMNodeInserted DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument', function () {
    frame.height(frame.contents().find("body").height());
  });
}
