Hello, do you need any help to merge this PR and release a new tag?

[MICMathieu]

Hi, we need you merge this PR please :)

[MolloKhan]

I don't have the rights to merge this PR, we need someone from the maintainers of behat/Symfony2Extension to do it

@stof @everzet ?

There are issues when I try the above changes in my own fork. It doesn't result in a installable set of packages you are using symfony version 5. Try forcing symfony version 5 to see what I mean.

• behat/mink-browserkit-driver is not updated for sf5 yet, needs symfony/dom-crawler of a certain version which is too low for sf5.

You should take a look at https://packagist.org/packages/friends-of-behat/symfony-extension

24th August 2020, any news and update on this?

[MolloKhan]

As @Nek- mentioned it. https://packagist.org/packages/friends-of-behat/symfony-extension is the way to go

[yusefauto1]

Hi @larzuk91 . thanks a lot for your attention and quick reply. I saw that library. but really is disappointed instead of fixing refer to use another package. this is one of the bad things around the open-source world.

[ciaranmcnulty]

To make things clear and 'official', we are not going to be maintaining this extension going forwards.

The recommendation is to use the FriendsOfBehat one. In general we will be providing fewer extensions in the Behat/ namespace.

If migrating to FOB is not an option you can always fork this project into your own vendor

[MolloKhan]

Hey @yusefauto1, yea I feel you man but the good part is it's not that hard to do the change. All I had to do (besides installing the library) was to change the config with this:

default:
  extensions:
    FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
      bootstrap: path/to/your/bootstrap.php

I'll close the ticket since it won't be implemented.

To make things clear and 'official', we are not going to be maintaining this extension going forwards.

It would be useful to put that in the README and point people to the FriendsOfBehat extension instead, to prevent wasting their time installing something that they'll have to replace later.

Also, it would be nice if this were indicated on the composer package as well.
