How to test any features that require authentication?

I am just getting started with BeHat and I’m able to successfully run tests that do not require authentication. But, anything that requires authentication is failing.

STATEMENT (or any logged in statement)

Fails with ERROR MESSAGE .

But, if I add ‘not-logged-in’ as a possible class for logged in, then the test passes. This tells me that I am not successfully logging in with my tests. The test is actually finding a class ‘not-logged-in’ when it is testing to see if it’s logged in.

I am getting email notification that a user has been created when the test runs. So, I know that a user is being created, but not successfully logging in.

Feature: Authentication   In order to make sure Behaviour testing is working   As a behat test user   I want to make sure I can log in    Scenario: Anonymous access        Given I am on the homepage      Then I should see "Login"   @api   Scenario: Test Being Logged In     Given I am logged in as a user with the "administrator" role     Then I should see the link "Test Link" 

My behat.yml file looks like this:

default:   suites:     default:       contexts:         - FeatureContext         - DrupalDrupalExtensionContextDrupalContext         - DrupalDrupalExtensionContextMinkContext   extensions:     BehatMinkExtension:       goutte: ~       selenium2: ~       base_url: http://mysite.localhost     DrupalDrupalExtension:       blackbox: ~       api_driver: 'drupal'        drush:         alias: 'local'       drupal:          drupal_root: '/Users/myfolder/sites/mysite'        region_map:         footer: "#footer"
