This module helps to upload files when using webdriver via remote connection when using codeception.

Just copy the file to your project and add it to your bootstrap file:

include_once "/path/to/module/AttachFileRemoteHelper.php";

After editing your bootstrap file you have to update your test suite configuration

modules:
    enabled: [WebDriver, AttachFileRemoteHelper]

No additional configuration has to be made. Just add the AttachFileRemoteHelper.

After changing your configuration you have to re-build the web guy.

php codecept.phar build

Once the module is actived you are able to use the new method attachFileRemote the same way you are using the native codeception/webdriver method attachFile.

<?php

class CreateCommentCest
{
    public function testRemoteFileUpload (WebGuy $I, $scenario)
    {
        $I->amOnPage("/html/formulare/anzeige/input_file.htm");
        $I->attachFileRemote("Datei", "image.png");
    }
}
