It should be possible in Behat 3. See http://everzet.com/tagged/Behat Feature: "Multi-contextual runs with support for per-tag, per-directory and per-role context classes. This “importance of the role” mantra I was always preaching will finally become possible as each role will eventually be able to have own steps dictionary."
For the moment, in Behat 2, you could use different profiles in order to separate the features. In your behat.yml, you could have something like this:
#running login suite using Mink
login-suite:
paths:
features: features/login-suite
bootstrap: features/login-suite/bootstrap
extensions:
mink-extension.phar:
base_url: http://domain.org
formatter:
name: pretty, junit, html
parameters:
output_path: null, logs/login-suite/, logs/login-suite/out.html
#running logout suite using the WebApi
logout-suite:
paths:
features: features/logout-suite/
bootstrap: features/logout-suite/bootstrap/
formatter:
name: pretty, junit, html
parameters:
output_path: null, logs/login-suite/, logs/logout-suite/out.html
extensions:
Behat\WebApiExtension\Extension:
base_url: http://api.domain.org
The FeatureContext.php files for the login-suite and logout-suite features are now separated.
The problem is that now you cannot run all the tests at once. It might be possible to do so using contexts: http://docs.behat.org/guides/7.config.html#Context
