Behat 3 with Symfony2, api tests using dev environment

Question

Behat Api tests seem to be hitting the dev environment (dev cache folder is created, and it uses the dev database).

It creates the test database with no problems and adds the data (BeforeScenario method in FeatureContext).

My set up is as follows:

Have an app_test.php front controller.

default:
    formatters:
        pretty: true
    autoload:
        '': %paths.base%/app/features/bootstrap
    suites:
        app_suite:
            type: symfony_bundle
            bundle: AppBundle
            contexts:
                - AppBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext:
                    parameters:
                        base_url: http://mysite.dev
            mink_session: default
            mink_javascript_session: selenium2
    extensions:
        Behat\Symfony2Extension: ~
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            sessions:
                default:
                    symfony2: ~

This: http://www.forouzani.com/installing-behat-mink-and-selenium2-in-symfony2.html may have worked previously with behat 2, but I'm using behat 3 now so it doesn't seem to work as expected!

Thanks

If you still cannot do after following steps below, I'll try to give you step by step example when I have time.

Update composer.json

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.4",
    "behat/behat": "3.0.14",
    "behat/behat-bundle": "1.0.0",
    "behat/symfony2-extension": "2.0.0",
    "behat/mink": "1.6.0",
    "behat/mink-extension": "2.0.1",
    "behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "1.2.0",
    "behat/mink-goutte-driver": "1.1.0",
    "behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "1.2.0"
},

Run composer

php composer.phar update

Create behat.yml file.

default:
    extensions:
        Behat\Symfony2Extension: ~
        Behat\MinkExtension:
            base_url: http://behat-three.local/app_test.php
            browser_name: firefox
            sessions:
                goutte: # fast, CLI, browser, no javascript support
                    goutte: ~
                selenium2: # fast, CLI, opens up a browser
                    selenium2: ~
                symfony2: # bleeding fast, CLI, no browser
                    symfony2: ~
    suites:
        test_suite:
            type: symfony_bundle
            bundle: SiteMainBundle
            mink_session: selenium2
            contexts:
                - Site\MainBundle\Features\Context\FeatureContext:
                    output_path: build/behat/output
                    screen_shot_path: build/behat/screenshot

Initiate behat to create relevant files and fodlers to work with.

php bin/behat --init --suite=test_suite

Then make sure you have app_test.php and update AppKernel line.

# your_project/web/app_test.php

$kernel = new AppKernel('test', true);

Then create config_test.yml with its own settings, something like.

# your_project/app/config/config_test.yml

imports:
    - { resource: config_dev.yml }

framework:
    test: ~
    session:
        storage_id: session.storage.mock_file
    profiler:
        collect: false

web_profiler:
    toolbar: false
    intercept_redirects: false

swiftmailer:
    disable_delivery: true

doctrine:
   dbal:
       connections:
         hello:
           driver:   pdo_sqlite
           path:     %kernel.cache_dir%/test_hello.db
