=============================================

[](#vivaitbehatdbdumpcontextdbdumpcontext)

This context will dump a database to a file when a scenario in [Behat](http://behat.org/en/latest/) fails.

The filename will be:

`behat-scenario-failed-{scenarioTitle}-{dateStamp}.sql`

So if you have a scenario that was run:

```
Scenario: A user can perform a search with advanced filtering

```

The filename would be along the lines of:

`behat-scenario-failed-A user can perform a search with advanced filtering-20170124113226.sql`
