How to debug features in Behat 3 with echo

Question

I am trying to debug a feature in Behat 3 to see what is going on.

Echo statements don't seem to work - I get no output.

The step I'm trying to use currently looks like this:

/**
 * @Then /^echo last request$/
 */

public function echoLastRequest() 
{
    echo ($this->_history->getLastRequest());
    echo 'test';
}

You could use a simple print_r() or var_export():

var_export('DEBUG!!!');
