Configuration issues

[OAFCROB]

How do you config this package in Laravel 5.5 with the latest versions of Behat & Mink?

My behat.yml config is as follows after watching the Laracast video. I've updated the extensions to match what they appear to be in the relevant vendor folders.

#behat.yml
default:
    extensions:
        Laracasts\Behat\ServiceContainer\BehatExtension:
            env_path: .env.behat
        Behat\MinkExtension\ServiceContainer\MinkExtension:
            default_session: laravel
            base_url: http://localhost:8000
            laravel: ~

However, when I run behat it appears to crash out with no logging and just gives me the scenario. If I remove the APP_KEY from my config the behat tests appear to run but I get an error in my laravel logs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated @JeffreyWay.

Looking at the mink extension behat.yml would suggest that the config should be more like

default:
  suites:
    default:
      path: %paths.base%/features
      contexts: [Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext]
  extensions:
    Laracasts\Behat\ServiceContainer\BehatExtension:
        env_path: .env.behat
    Behat\MinkExtension:
      base_url: http://en.wikipedia.org/
      sessions:
        default:
          laravel: ~

Can you paste in here your .env and .env.behat Just remove any real credentials and replace with fake values leaving the keys.

As you can see it's pretty much the default .env still

# .env
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=#ENCRYPTION_KEY
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_URL=http://homestead-local.app

Done a little bit more digging and I'm now getting the following error [InvalidArgumentException] Session "laravel" is not registered. If I have time over the weekend I'll investigate it further

Resolved for Laravel 5.5

# behat.yml
default:
    extensions:
        Laracasts\Behat:
            # env_path: .env.behat
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            default_session: laravel
            laravel: ~

Should the readme be updated?

[OAFCROB]

No I don't think, so it's the Laracast video that is out of date. Maybe removing the laracast video or putting a warning message near it would help.
