Fatal Error: Call to member function CeptTest::addFailure on null

[mashiox]

Hello.

I am working on configuring and installing Codeception alongside Yii 1.1. So far, I have been successfully able to do this, and I am working on building a few unit test examples for my team using Specify and Verify.
However, on executing the unit test suite from codeception, PHP returns a fatal error that it reports is occurring within Specify.

I am using:

• Yii 1.1
• Codeception 2.3
• Specify 0.4.6
• Verify 0.3.3

    private $adminEmail;

    public function _before(UnitTester $I)
    {
    }

    public function _after(UnitTester $I)
    {
    }

    // tests
    public function testAdminEmailParam()
    {
        $this->adminEmail = Yii::app()->params['adminEmail'];

        $this->specify("adminEmail is required", function(){
            $this->assertTrue(isset($this->adminEmail));
        });

        $this->specify("adminEmail is in email format", function(){
            $this->assertTrue(filter_var($this->adminEmail, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));
        });
    }
}

When I execute codeception from within the tests directory, this is the output that the unit tester will generate.

If it would be helpful in reproducing, this is the (tagged) work space I am using, complete with a Dockerfile for duplicating the issue I am experiencing.
https://github.com/mashiox/yii-codecept/releases/tag/specify-addFailure-issue

In order to simplify this process, please ignore the developer scripts Makefile, mount.sh, and start.sh and bootstrap the container using:

# Build the image, from within the cloned repository.
docker build -t codecept-test .

# Run the codecept-test container
docker run -it codecept-test

# Grab the container's name with docker ps, then
# Shell into the container with docker exec
docker exec -it "$(docker ps --format "{{.Image}} {{.Names}}" | grep codecept-test | cut -d" " -f2)" /bin/bash

# Execute the tests --within the container--, done in one of two ways
# Either should generate the error. 
cd /opt/snafu/protected/tests
codecept run unit

codecept --config=/opt/snafu/protected/tests/codeception.yml run unit

Your test class and file should be named FirstTest instead of FirstCest .

Yikes. That was a boneheaded mistake. Thank you for helping me turn hours of frustrated working around.
