Is there any way to start and rollback transaction in browser tests? #83

Closed cve closed 5 years ago

Hi,

I want to run my behat (chromedriver) tests within transaction and my question is: is that possible for example throught api endpoints?: /api/start-transaction and /api/rollback-transaction

This is not so easy to achieve :wink:

If you execute php via a webserver you will get a new mysql connection on every request. So having a "cross-request transaction" is not really supported out-of-the box.

It might be doable with persistent connections? Never looked into it.

Anyway nothing I can fix on this bundle as it has to be supported lower level to have a persistent connection.

Thank you for open my eyes on persistent connection :)
