Laravel 7/8, Behat, Mink, BDD, Netbeans 12, and subdomain testing!

• Verified no changes with Laravel 8.
• Added some details on running with Chromium.

There’s a mouthful. There’s two parts to this post. The first part is the story of how I arrived at using Behat, a tool that facilitates Behavioural Driven Design (BDD). The last part is the TL;DR configuration I used to get it working. If you just want to get this configuration going and don’t care about the background, skip down to it. I won’t be hurt.

First an admission: I’m really, really late to the BDD camp, and it kind of pisses me off. If I’d been using this approach for the past 15 years, there’s no question I would have gotten more done in less time.
