• 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

Behatch contexts

Behatch contexts provide most common Behat tests.

Installation

This extension requires:

https://github.com/Behat/MinkExtension/blob/master/doc/index.rst

Mink Extension

You can use Behat to describe anything, that you can describe in business logic. It’s tools, gui applications, web applications. The most interesting part is web applications. First, behavioral testing already exists in the web world - it’s called functional or acceptance testing. Almost all popular frameworks and languages provide functional testing tools. Today we’ll talk about how to use Behat for functional testing of web applications. Mink is a tool exactly for that and this extension provides integration for it.

Basically, MinkExtension is an integration layer between Behat 3.0+ and Mink 1.4+ and it provides:

Drupal API Driver

The Drupal API Driver is the fastest and the most powerful of the three drivers. Its biggest limitation is that the tests must run on the same server as the Drupal site.

Selenium

Download the latest version of Selenium Server It’s under the heading Selenium Server (formerly the Selenium RC Server). This is a single file which can be placed any where you like on your system and run with the following command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar &
// replace with the name of the version you downloaded

Hooks

Hooks allow you to execute your custom code just before or just after each of these actions. Behat allows you to use the following hooks:
