Making ‘Wikipedia’ example for Behat to work — autocomplete ugly workaround

In documentation you can see there is a scenario with autocomplete
http://docs.behat.org/en/v2.5/cookbook/behat_and_mink.html

But this scenario won’t work because of this line:

When I fill in “search” with “Behavior Driv”

The line only sets value of the input to “Behavior Driv” but autocomplete feature won’t be triggered.
To fix this we introduce new keyword:

When I type “Behavior Driv” into search box

Adding implementation to FeatureContext:

/**
* @Then I type :text into search box
*/
public function iTypeTextIntoSearchBox($text)
{
$element = $this->getSession()->getPage()->findById(‘searchInput’);
$script = “$(‘#searchInput’).keypress();”;
$element->setValue($text);
$this->getSession()->evaluateScript($script);
}

Here after setting value to our text we execute jQuery’s ‘keypress’ event as a result suggestion box appears.

Here is full content of the files:

Then I should see “agile software development”
