Other languages does not work

[dcsg]

Hi,

I just start using behat today, and tried it with the "pt" language. For what i read in doc's i have to change the "en" keywords for the specific language i want to use, but the problem is it throws an exception:

exception

[Behat\Gherkin\Exception\ParserException]                                                                 
Expected Feature token, but got Text on line: 1 in file: /www2/behatmink/features/ls.feature 

My code:

behat.yml

default:
    formatter:
        parameters:
            language: 'pt' 

features/ls.feature

Funcionalidade: ls
    Ver a estrutura de uma directoria
    Como um utilizador UNIX
    É preciso listar o conteudo da directoria

Cenario: Listar 2 ficheiros da directoria
    Dado Eu estar na directoria "test"
    E tenho o ficheiro "foo"
    E o ficheiro "bar"
    Quando corro "ls"
    Entao devo obter:
        """
        bar
        foo
        """

Note: It translates the "passed", "example" and this stuff the only thing doesn't work is the keywords translation

You need to add the following to the top of your feature files to use another language,otherwise behat assumes it's in english :

language: pt

i didn't see that in doc's, now is working! i will read again the docs and make a PR with it if the doc's does not mention it ;)

I had the same problem 2 days ago, see http://groups.google.com/group/behat/browse_thread/thread/93d0ab611e90d7b1
A PR for the docs would be nice.

But it doesn't make sense, the language is set to "pt" in behat.yml it should work without the reference inside the feature file or not @everzet?

[everzet]

No it should not. The language, that you specify in behat.yml or with parameter is the language of Behat formatter (output generator) - that's why it's placed under formatter section of configs. This option doesn't affect Gherkin parser.

Features are explicit pieces of information, that could and should be used separately from Behat in many cases. Keeping this in mind, hiding some important information (like language) from them in Behat configs is the true crime!

Also, single project could have features in multiple languages ;-) And english is used by default.
