behat

where sould be put the behat.yml

the documentation says

All configuration happens inside a single configuration file in the YAML format. Behat tries to load behat.yml or config/behat.yml by default, or you can tell Behat where your config file is with the --config option:

But I'm not sure If I have to put the file inside the root test folder or another places.

Thanks

Solution

  • Behat looks for the configuration file in the current working directory. In most cases that's going to be the root directory of your project (unless you run your tests by changing directory to the tests folder first).

    my-project
 |- config
   \- behat.yml
 |- features
 |- tests
 |- vendor
 |- behat.yml

    Behat will look for files named behat.yaml, behat.yml, behat.yaml.dist, behat.yml.dist (in this order). It will first try to find a config file in the root directory of your project, and in config directory second.

    Specify the --config option if you'd like to put your config file somewhere else.
