This project is self-tested, you can explore the features directory to find some examples.

• browser - more browser related steps (like mink)
  • timeout - default timeout
• debug - helper steps for debugging
  • screenshotDir - the directory where store screenshots
• system - shell related steps
  • root - the root directory of the filesystem
• json - JSON related steps
  • evaluationMode - javascript "foo.bar" or php "foo->bar"
• table - play with HTML the tables
• rest - send GET, POST, ... requests and test the HTTP headers
• xml - XML related steps

For example, if you want to change default directory to screenshots - you can do it this way:

default: suites: default: contexts: - behatch:context:debug: screenshotDir: "var"
