functionals tests with behat, mink and symfony2

Question

I'm trying to test the bundles Behat and Mink, but I have a problem

I well installed the bundles
I have launched: php app / console test-e = Behat - init @ AcmeDemoBundle, the folder Features was created
I wrote a scenario in essai.feature
I have launched: php app / console test-e @ Behat AcmeDemoBundle, I have got this result

Feature: Test      In order to test      As a developer      I Need To Be Able to submit a contact form

Scenario: Navigate to the welcome page # src \ Acme \ DemoBundle \ Features \ >essai.feature: 6      Given I am on "/ crud / Article"

Scenario 1 (1 undefined) 1 step (1 undefined) 0m0.243s

You Can Implement step definitions for undefined steps with snippets thesis:

     / **       * @ Given / ^ I am on "([^"] *) "$ /       * /      public function iAmOn ($ argument1)      {           throw new PendingException ();      }

When I tried to implement the definitions, I have launched php app / console test-e @ Behat AcmeDemoBundle -dl

But, I get nothing at all! nothing is executed and the file FeatureContext is not modified

Please help me to find a solution

Could you fix code formatting, please? Also, what does it mean that you get nothing? What did you expect to get? — Jakub Zalas
thank you and sorry for the format of the code, I fixed the problem — symfounya
You could still clean up your question and share the answer for future generations... — Jakub Zalas
in fact, I just copy the method "function iAmOn" generated in the console under the file FeatureContext.php thank's a lot — symfounya

It looks like you have not told Behat where to look for your main context file. You need to either explicitly load FeatureContext.php in your behat configuration file:

# config/behat.yml
default:
autoload: [ %paths.base%/../features/bootstrap ]
suites:
  default:
      paths: [ %paths.base%/../features ]
      filters:
      contexts:
          - FeatureContext

Or place FeatureContext.php exactly where Behat searches for it by default. From the "context class requirements" section of the Behat docs:

The context class should be discoverable and loadable by Behat. That means you should somehow tell Behat about your class file. Behat comes with a PSR-0 autoloader out of the box and the default autoloading directory is features/bootstrap. That’s why the default FeatureContext is loaded so easily by Behat. You can place your own classes under features/bootstrap by following the PSR-0 convention or you can even define your own custom autoloading folder via behat.yml.
