[FIXED] Why does not composer create behat.yml file?

Issue

I want use behat for my Magento shop.

I installed BehatMage with this documentation.

But when I come to "Basic Usage" and want execute following command, it does not create behat.yml in project folder.

$ cd project
$ bin/behat --init

I thought after running:

composer install --dev --prefer-dist

with this configuration:

{
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "bin"
    },
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.3.0"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "magetest/magento-behat-extension": "dev-develop"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "": [
                "html/app",
                "html/app/code/local",
                "html/app/code/community",
                "html/app/code/core",
                "html/lib"
            ]
        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

... this file should be created or at least filled with informations? The composer install command worked well without any errors.

Any ideas how I create a configured behat.yml?

Solution

You need to add behat to require-dev (not sure about version, 2.5 is just a guess):

"require-dev": {
    "behat/behat": "~2.5",
    "magetest/magento-behat-extension": "dev-develop"
},

The documentation you are referring to clearly says:

For this document we assume the directory layout is as follows.

with behat already installed, and then

First, add BehatMage to the list of dependencies

with a snippet of composer to be added to your composer.json.

It will install executable bin/behat.

You need to create your own behat.yml, which is relevant to your application.
An example of the file with BehatMage enabled is provided as behat.yml.dist
