<p><strong>Given</strong> you are a vim user who loves behat</p> <p><strong>When</strong> you write your behat scenarios</p> <p><strong>Then</strong> you should use the behat plugin for vim!</p>

<p><em>"Can we test Web API of our website with Behat?"</em>. We hear this question alot in Behat user group, twitter and emails. Although it's not so complex task as web UI testing (say hello to Mink), it still raises some question, that we will try to answer today.</p>

<p>Are you tired of managing the deps and deps.lock files? Want to install BehatBundle without editing 3 files simultaneously and reading a long list of Mink dependencies that you need to place in <code>deps</code>? <a href="http://packagist.org/about-composer">Composer</a> to rescue!</p>

<p>Previously, in "Behat like a boss", we learned [how to write custom steps](path:["blog_show", {"key":"behat-like-a-boss-wirting-custom-steps"}]). One thing that bothered me when I first discovered Behat and started writing custom steps was that I had to know an existing step's method name (e.g. <code>visit</code>) in order to reuse it in my steps. Actually, you don't have to, there is a very simple way to use an existing step, and even create a step that runs multiple steps at the same time.</p>

<p>Yeehoo, it's here! Behat 2.2 is finally released and has amazing new features for you to play with. "Multiple formats output", "Output color settings", "Couple of new formatters" if this all means something to you - continue reading.</p>

<p>We are proud of maintaining KnpBundles, <a href="http://knpbundles.com">the famous unofficial web resource for Symfony2 bundles</a>, and we're commited to making it really useful and usable. That's why some of our Knp ninjas spent their last "geek time" fridays working on it…</p> <p>We would like to introduce the latest changes: showing the trending bundles and evolution page, GitHub connect and bundles recommendations.</p>

<p>After months of hard work by Matthieu, stof, everzet, Romain, and others, we finally gave up on building the teleportation device we hoped would take us into the living rooms of devs everywhere. So, we thought, how else can we coach people in PHP, Behat, and Symfony?</p> <p><strong>Of course, screencasts.</strong> Meet KnpUniversity.com, our latest experiment.</p>

<p>Behat is the BDD framework for PHP which allows you to define and test your application with natural language.</p> <p>We've been working on it at KnpLabs for quite some time with the help of an incredible community. And today thanks to him and to an awesome community effort Behat is a great and stable product.</p> <p>Now it's time for KnpLabs to offer <strong>Behat and BDD trainings</strong>!</p>

<p>Józef Bielawski − aka <a href="https://github.com/stloyd"><strong>stloyd</strong></a>, a very familiar face of the Symfony2 community - just joined the KnpLabs team!</p> <p>Welcome, mate!</p>

<p>Today we are starting a series of blog posts about the internals of Behat, as in "the tool you use to do BDD". This series will be focusing on using Behat (assuming you already have it running), not on how to BDD right. This first post's entry barrier is quite low, as I'm going to show you how to write custom steps for your features (we're also going to do a bit of regexps, but don't be afraid!).</p>

<p>If you use Knp bundles (KnpMenuBundle or KnpPaginatorBundle for example), please update your <code>deps</code> file or <code>.gitmodules</code> file to reflect the username case change from knplabs to KnpLabs.</p>
