This Behat extension provides an integration with Symfony (`^6.4`, `^7.0`, and `^8.0`) and Mink driver for Symfony applications. Also supports Behat 4. It allows for: - defining your contexts as regular Symfony services - autowiring and autoconfiguring your contexts - testing your Symfony application without having to set up a server What's Different in This Fork ----------------------------- [](#whats-different-in-this-fork) FeatureOriginalThis ForkSymfony support6.4, 7.06.4, 7.0, **8.0**Behat support3.x3.x, **4.x**Kernel managementDual-kernel, tightly coupled**KernelManager** with lazy driver kernelDriver kernelAlways created**Lazy-loaded** (only when Mink used)### Architecture Improvements [](#architecture-improvements) - **KernelManager**: Centralized lifecycle management for context and driver kernels - **Lazy driver kernel**: Only instantiated when Mink makes first HTTP request - **Cleaner separation**: Explicit `setUp()`/`tearDown()` lifecycle hooks Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require yannickgranger/symfony-extension --dev ``` Migration from FriendsOfBehat/SymfonyExtension ---------------------------------------------- [](#migration-from-friendsofbehatsymfonyextension) This is a **drop-in replacement**. No configuration changes needed: ``` # Remove old package composer remove friends-of-behat/symfony-extension # Install this fork composer require yannickgranger/symfony-extension --dev ``` Your existing `behat.yml` configuration will work as-is.

Versioning and release cycle ---------------------------- [](#versioning-and-release-cycle) This package follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). Public API is defined as configuration and behaviour defined in form of testable scenarios in the [`features`](features) directory. This means once your application is configured to use Behat with SymfonyExtension, it shall continue to work flawlessly within the same major version.
