When I run this command:

blt tests:behat

I get the following output:

[error]  MySql is not available. Please run `blt doctor` to diagnose the issue.

And I expected this to happen:
This is a clean install via a VM. I expected example Behat tests to run, instead I think it's looking for my MySQL installation. Thanks!

Ok, I just saw the right way to do it

    # ssh into vm & run behat tests
    drush @[project.machine_name].local ssh
    blt tests:behat
