Yii2 Testing

This page contains my notes about learning testing with Yii2. My environment is Windows 7.

Yii2 uses PHPUnit and Codeception to run tests.

• Unit - verifies that a single unit of code is working as expected;
• Functional - verifies scenarios from a user's perspective via browser emulation;
• Acceptance - verifies scenarios from a user's perspective in a browser.

Unit tests are usually developed by people who write the classes being tested.

Functional tests are generally faster than acceptance tests.

• Change modules > enabled > WebDriver > url and browser

tests/Acceptance.suite.yaml

class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - WebDriver:
            url: http://localhost:8080/
            browser: chrome
        - Yii2:
            part: orm
            entryScript: index-test.php
            cleanup: false

• use git bash - shows ANSI colors on Windows 7

• The chromedriver executable is in your PATH

• If your are working in an environment using a proxy server, unset the environment variable HTTP_PROXY:

$ HTTP_PROXY= && vendor/bin/codecept run
