Tests are located in tests
directory. They are developed with Codeception PHP Testing Framework.
By default there are 3 test suites:
unit
functional
acceptance
Tests can be executed by running
composer exec codecept run
The command above will execute unit and functional tests. Unit tests are testing the system components, while functional tests are for testing user interaction. Acceptance tests are disabled by default as they require additional setup since they perform testing in real browser.
To execute acceptance tests do the following:
-
Rename
tests/acceptance.suite.yml.example
totests/acceptance.suite.yml
to enable suite configuration -
Replace
codeception/base
package incomposer.json
withcodeception/codeception
to install full featured version of Codeception -
Update dependencies with Composer
composer update
-
Download Selenium Server and launch it:
java -jar ~/selenium-server-standalone-x.xx.x.jar
-
(Optional) Create
yii2_basic_tests
database and update it by applying migrations if you have them.tests/bin/yii migrate
The database configuration can be found at
config/test_db.php
. -
Start web server:
tests/bin/yii serve
-
Now you can run all available tests
# run all available tests composer exec codecept run # run acceptance tests composer exec codecept run acceptance # run only unit and functional tests composer exec codecept run unit,functional
