inanzzz | Enabling service container in FeatureContext

You can use service container as you use it in your controllers or service. You can also use EntityManager and repositories.

FeatureContext.php

namespace Application\BackendBundle\Features\Context;

use Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;

class FeatureContext extends MinkContext implements ContainerAwareInterface
{
    private $container;

    public function setContainer(ContainerInterface $container = null)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
    }

    public function getParameter()
    {
        $myParameter = $this->container->getParameter('name_of_the_param');
    }

    public function getService()
    {
        $myService = $this->container->get('name_of_the_service');
    }

    public function runDbQuery($ame)
    {
        $em = $this->container->get('doctrine')->getManager();
        $repo = $em->getRepository('FootballTeamBundle:Country');
        $country = $repo->findOneBy(array('name' => $name));
    }
}
