Installation

Using git clone

cd plugins && git clone git://github.com/Behat/sfBehatPlugin.git

Using git submodules

Use this if you prefer to use git submodules for plugins:

git submodule add git://github.com/Behat/sfBehatPlugin.git plugins/sfBehatPlugin

and enable plugin in your ProjectConfigurations class.

Usage

Prepare

After installation, you need to create features folders for your applications inside symfony's test folder. To do this, simply run:

symfony behat:setup frontend

where frontend is your application name.

Generate Features

To begin with Behat, you need to create your first feature file. Run:

symfony behat:generate-feature frontend main

where frontend & main is your application & module names to test

Run Features

You can either run all app tests with:

behat test/features/frontend

or specific feature with:

behat test/features/frontend/main.feature

or all frontend features with simply:

behat

sfBehatPlugin installs behat.yml into your project root. This is a Behat configuration file for sf environment. So, if you want to run your symfony features from different directory - specify configuration path manually with (-c|--configuration option) like that:

behat -c ../behat.yml
