Behat Mink: Namespaces & Behat.yml Context Assignments

• If namespaces are used, the php files MUST reside in the matching path for the namespace
• For Behat... this path starts at the 'bootstrap' path specified in behat.yml

 

• the default: profile doesn't seem to allow the 'paths:' paramerts, so put them in the default:suites:default: block
  • https://blog.riff.org/2013_08_11_when_behat_does_not_find_features_or_bootstrap

 

default:
  autoload:
    - "%paths.base%/bootstrap"
  suites:
    default:
      paths:
        features: '%paths.base%/../features/dev'
      contexts:
      - FeatureContext
      - Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\DrupalContext
      - Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MinkContext
      - Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\MessageContext
      - Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\DrushContext
