Is there some tutorial or example on how to configure Behat with Zend Framework

0

Is there some tutorial or example on how to configure Behat with Zend Framework 2? I have tried for two days but I cannot figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to do BDD with Zend Framework 2.

EDIT:

Basically, I am running into issues when trying to install Behat through composer. This is my composer.json:

{
    "name": "bla",
    "description": "Bla",
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.4",
        "zendframework/zendframework": "2.*",
        "doctrine/doctrine-module": "dev-master",
        "doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "0.*",
        "gedmo/doctrine-extensions": "dev-master"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*",
        "behat/behat": "2.4.*@stable"
    }
}

When I run:

php composer.phar update --dev

I get:

php composer.phar update --dev

The composer json file works fine when I remove the behat line.

EDIT2:

My temporary hacky solution:

"scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "rm -rf vendor/Behat",
        "git clone git://github.com/Behat/Behat.git",

        "cd Behat && git submodule update --init",
        "cd Behat && php composer.phar install",
        "cd Behat && php composer.phar require guzzle/guzzle:3.0.*",
