BDD - Behat 3 with Mink and Mink Extensions against monster.co.uk website

This example will demonstrate the following:

1. Failed steps via AfterStep hook screenshots saved into the screenshot directory
2. Mink-Extensions libray of pre-existing steps
3. Behat
4. Custom Steps e.g. to create unique registrations on monster.co.uk

Notes:

1. PHP needed ( comes standard on a Mac, or install)
2. use the terminal
3. Java needed ( comes standard on a Mac- I think?, or install)
4. I have noticed that using the Chrome browser brings up the new monster.co.uk website on www6.monster.co.uk. Firefox appears to only bring this site up on every 4th request.
5. I needed to add php.ini date timezone = 'Europe/London' for the php date command to work
6. use different tags @wip or none to run all the scenarios.

The instructions below are likely to work on a Linux or Mac

5. start the standalone Selenium2 webdriver ( open up another terminal )
   java -jar ./selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar

   ./vendor/bin/behat --tags @wip --append-snippets --suite=backend ./features/monster_search.feature
