Over the past few months we've been using Behat and Mink for acceptance testing on a large Drupal distribution we're building (further background reading here). Overall, the transition from our comfy rails testing tools like RSpec and capybara-webkit has gone pretty smoothly, and we look forward to more articles about what we've learned in the coming weeks.

Last week, however, I hit a roadblock when testing IMCE integration with the Wysiwyg module. When a user clicks on the "Browser Server" button, IMCE opens a new window, but the Mink context does not automatically shift to the new window. Luckily, Mink provides the solution for this exact problem with itssession->switchToWindow(name) method (documentation). Unfortunately, CKEditor doesn't name the window when it opens, so it is impossible to target the window using the built-in method....
