Persist Session Accross Scenarios and Features in Behat

[Саша Стаменковић]

Hi.

I'm very new in Behat, and I have one probably simple problem which I cannot solve on my own, I searched the doc, googled, but I just can't find the answer.

Here is my setup https://gist.github.com/38c170ea30adca747581

So, I have 2 hosts, in order to login I need to click a login link on http://admin.loc which then redirects to http://acme.loc/ and that works perfect.

But the error I get is: " Form field with id|name|label|value "search" not found."

This happens because session created in login.feature is not active in search.feature and I get redirected back to login, instead to be able to use features as authenticated user.

How can I fix this? How can I persist session accross features?

Regards,

Saša Stamenković

Scenario are isolated. If you want to be logged in the scenario, it needs to be part of the scenario.

Hm, It's a bit copy-paste, isn't it? Plus it will be slow as hell.

Is there any better solution?

Thanks for your fast response.

Backgrounds, instep calls, OOP. You choose.

Thanks Konstantin.

Backgrounds did the job. Is there any way to reuse them between .feature files?

Is there a doc for instep calls, I can't find them?

Thanks again.
