Codeception Extension for Yii 2

This extension provides a Codeception mail solution for Yii 2. It includes some classes that are useful for unit-testing (TestCase) or for codeception page-objects (BasePage).

When using codeception page-objects they have some similar code, this code was extracted and put into the BasePage class to reduce code duplication. Simply extend your page object from this class, like it is done in yii2-basic and yii2-advanced boilerplates.

For unit testing there is a TestCase class which holds some common features like application creation before each test and application destroy after each test. You can configure your application by this class. TestCase is extended from PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase so all methods and assertions are available.

SomeConsoleTest extends yii\codeception\TestCase
{
	# by default it is @tests/unit/_bootstrap.php which holds some basic things like: 
	# including composer autoload, include BaseYii class.
	public $baseConfig = '@app/config/console.php';

	public $applicationClass = 'yii\console\Application';
}

Dont forget that you still need to include autoload and BaseYii class, like in the _bootstrap.php file (comments above).

You also can reconfigure some components for tests, for this purpose there is a $config property in the testcase.

SomeOtherTest extends yii\codeception\TestCase
{
	public $config = [
		'components' => [
			'mail' => [
				'useFileTransport' => true,
			],
		]
	];
}

Because of Codeception buffers all output you cant make simple var_dump() in the TestCase, instead you need to use Codeception\Util\Debug::debug() function and then run test with --debug key, for example:


use \Codeception\Util\Debug;

SomeDebugTest extends yii\codeception\TestCase
{

	public function testSmth()
	{
		Debug::debug('some my string');
		Debug::debug($someArray);
		Debug::debug($someObject);
	}

}

Then run command php codecept.phar run --debug unit/SomeDebugTest (Codeception also available through composer) and you will see in output:

  some my string

  Array
  (
      [0] => 1
      [1] => 2
      [2] => 3
      [3] => 4
      [4] => 5
  )
  
  yii\web\User Object
  (
      [identityClass] => app\models\User
      [enableAutoLogin] => 
      [loginUrl] => Array
          (
              [0] => site/login
          )
  
      [identityCookie] => Array
          (
              [name] => _identity
              [httpOnly] => 1
          )
  
      [authTimeout] => 
      [autoRenewCookie] => 1
      [idVar] => __id
      [authTimeoutVar] => __expire
      [returnUrlVar] => __returnUrl
      [_access:yii\web\User:private] => Array
          (
          )
  
      [_identity:yii\web\User:private] => 
      [_events:yii\base\Component:private] => 
      [_behaviors:yii\base\Component:private] => 
  )
