Configuration¶

Custom Autoloading¶

Sometimes you will need to place your features folder somewhere other than the default location (e.g. app/features). All you need to do is specify the path you want to autoload via behat.yml:

# behat.yml

default:
    autoload:
        '': %paths.base%/app/features/bootstrap

If you wish to namespace your features (for example: to be PSR-1 complaint) you will need to add the namespace to the classes and also tell behat where to load them. Here contexts is an array of classes:

# behat.yml

default:
    autoload:
        '': %paths.base%/app/features/bootstrap
    suites:
        default:
            contexts: [My\Application\Namespace\Bootstrap\FeatureContext]

Formatters¶

Default formatters can be enabled by specifying them in the profile.

# behat.yml

default:
    formatters:
        pretty: true
