Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add to your composer requirements as dev dependency.

```

Activate bundle in your `config/bundles.php`

```
Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\ElbformatSymfonyBehatBundle::class => ['test' => true],
```

Use contexts in your `behat.yml` as you like

```
default:
  extensions:
    FriendsOfBehat\SymfonyExtension:
      bootstrap: tests/bootstrap.php
      kernel:
        path: src/Kernel.php
        class: App\Kernel
        environment: behat
        debug: false
  suites:
    default:
      contexts:
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\CommandContext
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\DateContext
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\FormContext
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\HtmlContext
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\HttpContext

        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\LoggingContext
        - Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\Context\MailerContext

### Mailer

[](#mailer)

To make the Test-Mailer work, you need to set the mailer dsn in `config/packages/mailer.yaml`

```
when@test:
    framework:
        mailer:
            dsn: 'test://test'

```

### API

[](#api)

To not send requests to a real api, you should configure the MockClient to be used in `config/packages/framework.yaml`

```
when@test:
    framework:
        http_client:
            mock_response_factory: Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\HttpClient\MockClientCallback

```
