behat: Run tests with a specific output formatter.
$ behat --format ${select}
try on your machine

The command "behat --format ${select}" is used to run Behat tests and specify the output format for the test results.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "behat": This is the command to run Behat, which is a popular testing framework for behavior-driven development (BDD) in PHP.

  • "--format": This option is used to specify the format of the test results. The "--format" flag is followed by the format type, which is represented by the "${select}" placeholder in this command.

  • "${select}": This is a placeholder for the actual format type that you want to use. You need to replace "${select}" with the actual format you want to specify. Examples of format types in Behat include "pretty" for human-readable output, "json" for output in JSON format, "junit" for JUnit XML format, etc.

To use this command, you would replace "${select}" with the desired output format type. For example, if you want the output in a human-readable format, you can use "behat --format pretty". If you want the output in JSON format, you can use "behat --format json".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
