usage

Use in your BehatFeatureContext:

use Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext;
use Behat\Behat\Context\Context;
use Webforge\Behat\CssUtilitiesTrait;

class MyFeatureContext extends MinkContext implements Context
{
    use CssUtilitiesTrait;

    /**
     * @Given /^I wait for the page to load$/
     */
    public function iWaitForThePageToLoad()
    {
        $this->context = $this->css('.v-dialog--active')->exists();
        $this->context('.container .headline:contains("Wähle dein Fotobuch-Format")')->waitForVisible(5000);
    }


   /**
     * @When /^I click on the position button$/
     */
    public function iClickOnThePositionButton()
    {
        $this->css('.v-btn:contains("Position")')->exists()->click();
    }

    /**
     * @Given /^I click on the undock headline icon$/
     */
    public function iClickOnTheUndockHeadlineIcon()
    {
        $this->context('.v-btn:contains("Überschrift ablösen")')->exists()->click();
    }
    
    /**
     * @Given /^the headline is displayed in text$/
     */
    public function theHeadlineIsDisplayedInText()
    {
        $this->css('.pb-container.headline')->waitForExist() // selector is:  .pb-container.headline
            ->css('.headline.visible')->notExists()->end() // selector is: .pb-container.headline .headline.visible 
            ->css('.headline h1')->isNotVisible(); // selector is now: .pb-container.headline .headline h1 
    }
}

• use $this->css($selector) to start from document, $selector is a valid css3 selector (supported by symfony/css-selector)
• set $this->context to whatever dialog/page/subarea you want to select elements
• use $this->context() to start from context
• use $this->resetContext() to reset context to document
• use wait*, exists, isVisible, isNotVisible to make assertions against your selected element
• move down with ->css() to find sub-selectors
• move with ->end() back up to the chain, to the last css() call
• use all(), getElements(), get* to retrieve elements, attributes or others an break the chain
