Installation

Install using pip

$ pip install behave-django

Add behave_django to your INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS += ('behave_django',)

Create the features directory in your project’s root directory. (Next to manage.py)

features/
    steps/
        your_steps.py
    environment.py
    your-feature.feature

Setup your environment.py file

from behave_django import environment

def before_scenario(context, scenario):
    environment.before_scenario(context, scenario)

def after_scenario(context, scenario):
    environment.after_scenario(context, scenario)

Run python manage.py behave

$ python manage.py behave
Creating test database for alias 'default'...
Feature: Running tests # features/running-tests.feature:1
  In order to prove that behave-django works
  As the Maintainer
  I want to test running behave against this features directory
  Scenario: The Test                       # features/running-tests.feature:6
    Given this step exists                 # features/steps/running_tests.py:4 0.000s
    When I run "python manage.py behave"   # features/steps/running_tests.py:9 0.000s
    Then I should see the behave tests run # features/steps/running_tests.py:14 0.000s

1 features passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
1 scenarios passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
3 steps passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0 undefined

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

Note

Starting with version 0.2.0, you no longer need to insert the environment.before_scenario() and environment.after_scenario() functions in your environment.py file. The hooks are now included via monkey patching.
