You can pass the test path if you are not using the app/tests folder.

$ php artisan behat:install --test_path==your/test/path

or

$ php artisan behat:html --out path/you/need/doc.html # will create a file specified path

Structure

Adding Contexts

When you create a context in the folder tests\acceptance\contexts these files will be included by FeatureContext preventing the specification of files that will be used by the tests.

$ php artisan behat:feature --name=NameOfFeature

Will create:

    app\tests\acceptance\contexts\NameOfFeatureContext.php
    app\tests\acceptance\features\name_of_feature\name_of_feature.feature

Running tests

To run all test, you can use the follow command:

$ php artisan behat:run

To run tests for specific features, you can specify the name of the folder or the .feature file:

$ php artisan behat:run name_of_feature
$ php artisan behat:run name_of_feature/name_of_feature.feature
$ php artisan behat:run name_of_feature/separated_scenarios.feature

If you have large feature files and you only want to run a specific senario use

$ php artisan behat:run --name="name of feature"

Laravel behat currently supports the following behat command line options:

 --format (-f)        How to format features. pretty is default.
                      Default formatters are:

                      - progress: Prints one character per step.
                      - html: Generates a nice looking HTML report.
                      - junit: Generates a report similar to Ant+JUnit.
                      - failed: Prints list of failed scenarios.
                      - snippets: Prints only snippets for undefined steps.
