Mailer

To make the Test-Mailer work, you need to set the mailer dsn in config/packages/mailer.yaml

when@test:
    framework:
        mailer:
            dsn: 'test://test'

API

To not send requests to a real api, you should configure the MockClient to be used in config/packages/framework.yaml

when@test:
    framework:
        http_client:
            mock_response_factory: Elbformat\SymfonyBehatBundle\HttpClient\MockClientCallback
