Running behat test under different browsers

Question

I want run behat tests in certain browsers so when I type something like this bin/behat firefox or bin/behat chrome or bin/behat opera tests should be run under respective browsers. Is it possible? If so, how should I modify my yml below or anything else? The reason I need such thing is that the selenium sometimes doesn't like some browsers based on its version.

I read thru this post but I didn't quiet get it to apply to my behat.yml

behat.yml:

default:
    context:
        class: Football\LeagueBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext
        parameters:
            output_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/report/behat/output/
            screen_shot_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/report/behat/screenshot/
    extensions:
        Behat\Symfony2Extension\Extension:
            mink_driver: true
            kernel:
                env: test
                debug: true
        Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
            base_url: 'http://symfony.local/app_test.php/'
            files_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/dummy/
            browser_name: firefox
            goutte: ~
            selenium2: ~
    paths:
        features: %behat.paths.base%/src
        bootstrap: %behat.paths.features%/Context

example feature

Feature: Visit Home Page
  In order to see hello message
  As a user
  I should be able to visit home page

  #SUCCESS
  @javascript
  Scenario: I visit home page
    When I go to "/"
    Then I should see "Hello Symfony!"

  #FAIL
  @javascript
  Scenario: I visit home page
    When I go to "/"
    Then I should not see "Hello Behat!"

The documentation sucks again and again, so you'll need to play around with the config. I'm sure there are a few ways you can achieve this, but the proposed way with profiles should be the simplest. If I get everything correctly it can be done like this.

default:
    context:
        class: Football\LeagueBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext
        parameters:
            output_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/report/behat/output/
            screen_shot_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/report/behat/screenshot/
    extensions:
        Behat\Symfony2Extension\Extension:
            mink_driver: true
            kernel:
                env: test
                debug: true
        Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
            base_url: 'http://symfony.local/app_test.php/'
            files_path: %behat.paths.base%/test/dummy/
            browser_name: firefox
            goutte: ~
            selenium2: ~
    paths:
        features: %behat.paths.base%/src
        bootstrap: %behat.paths.features%/Context

chrome:
    extensions:
        Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
            browser_name: chrome

firefox:
    extensions:
        Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
            browser_name: firefox     

I'm not 100% certain, but I remember that Behat merges default profile with the other ones, so hopefully you don't have to copy everything, if that doesn't work, then try defining the complete profile.

Also, have a look at this comment, you can define what tags to include with each profile, which might be quite useful if you want only certain tests running in certain browsers.

To run it you specify the profile:

$ behat -p firefox
$ behat -p chrome
