CakePHP 3 Codeception Module

Build Status License

A codeception module to test your CakePHP 3 powered application.

Usage

Edit your application's src/Console/Installer.php file to include the installer script in the postInstall method:

    public static function postInstall(Event $event)
    {
        // ...
        if (class_exists('\Cake\Codeception\Console\Installer')) {
            \Cake\Codeception\Console\Installer::customizeCodeceptionBinary($event);
        }
    }

Now, from the command-line:

composer require --dev cakephp/codeception:dev-master
composer install

Once installed, you can now run bootstrap which will create all the codeception required files in your application:

vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap

This creates the following files/folders in your app directory:

|-codeception.yml
|-src/
|---TestSuite/
|-----Codeception/
|-------AcceptanceHelper.php
|-------FunctionalHelper.php
|-------UnitHelper.php
|-tests/
|---Acceptance.suite.yml
|---Functional.suite.yml
|---Unit.suite.yml
|---Acceptance/
|-----.gitignore
|-----bootstrap.php
|-----AcceptanceTester.php
|---Fixture/
|-----dump.sql
|---Functional/
|-----.gitignore
|-----bootstrap.php
|-----FunctionalTester.php
|---Unit/
|-----.gitignore
|-----bootstrap.php
|-----UnitTester.php

As you might have noticed, the CakePHP implementation differs in a couple things:

  • uses CamelCase suite names (Functional vs. functional)
  • uses bootstrap.php, no underscore prefix (vs. _bootstrap.php)
  • uses src/TestSuite/Codeception for custom modules (helpers) (vs. tests/_helpers)
  • uses tmp/tests to store logs (vs. tests/_logs)
  • adds a .gitignore to never track auto-generated files
  • adds custom templates for various generated files using the codecept binary

To better understand how Codeception tests work, please check the official documentation.

Example Cept

<?php
$I = new FunctionalTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('ensure that adding a bookmark works');
$I->amOnPage('/bookmarks/add');
$I->see('Submit');
$I->submitForm('#add', [
    'title' => 'First bookmark',
]);
$I->seeInSession([
    'Flash'
]);

Actions

Auth

...

Config

Assert config key(/value) with seeInConfig($key, $value = null)

$I->seeInConfig('App.name'); // checks only that the key exists
$I->seeInConfig('App.name', 'CakePHP');
$I->seeInConfig(['App.name' => 'CakePHP']);

Assert no config key(/value) with dontSeeInConfig($key, $value = null)

$I->dontSeeInConfig('App.name'); // checks only that the key does not exist
$I->dontSeeInConfig('App.name', 'CakePHP');
$I->dontSeeInConfig(['App.name' => 'CakePHP']);

Db

Insert record with haveRecord($model, $data = [])

This is useful when you need a record for just one test (temporary fixture). It does not assert anything and returns the inserted record's ID.

$I->haveRecord('users', ['email' => 'jadb@cakephp.org', 'username' => 'jadb']);

Retrieve record with grabRecord($model, $conditions = [])

This is a wrapper around the Cake\ORM\Table::find('first') method.

$I->grabRecord('users', ['id' => '1']);

Assert record exists with seeRecord($model, $conditions = [])

This checks that the requested record does exist in the database.

$I->seeRecord('users', ['username' => 'jadb']);

Assert record does not exist with dontSeeRecord($model, $conditions = [])

This checks that the request record does not exist in the database.

$I->dontSeeRecord('users', ['email' => 'jadb@cakephp.org']);

Dispatcher

...

Miscellaneous

Load fixtures with loadFixtures($fixtures[, $fixture2, ...])

All the below forms are equivalent:

$I->loadFixtures('app.posts', 'app.tags');
$I->loadFixtures(['app.posts', 'app.tags']);
$I->fixtures = ['app.posts', 'app.tags'];

Assert CakePHP version with expectedCakePHPVersion($ver, $operator = 'ge')

$I->expectedCakePHPVersion('3.0.4');

Router

Open page by route with amOnRoute($route, $params = [])

All the below forms are equivalent:

$I->amOnRoute(['controller' => 'Posts', 'action' => 'add']);
$I->amOnRoute('addPost'); // assuming there is a route named `addPost`

Open page by action with amOnAction($action, $params = [])

All the below forms are equivalent:

$I->amOnAction('Posts@add');
$I->amOnAction('Posts.add');
$I->amOnAction('PostsController@add');
$I->amOnAction('PostsController.add');
$I->amOnAction('posts@add');
$I->amOnAction('posts.add');

Assert URL matches route with seeCurrentRouteIs($route, $params = [])

All the below forms are equivalent:

$I->seeCurrentRouteIs(['controller' => 'Posts', 'action' => 'add']);
$I->seeCurrentRouteIs('addPost'); // assuming there is a route named `addPost`

Assert URL matches action with seeCurrentActionIs($action, $params = [])

All the below forms are equivalent:

$I->seeCurrentActionIs('Posts@add');
$I->seeCurrentActionIs('Posts.add');
$I->seeCurrentActionIs('PostsController@add');
$I->seeCurrentActionIs('PostsController.add');
$I->seeCurrentActionIs('posts@add');
$I->seeCurrentActionIs('posts.add');

Session

Insert key/value(s) in session with haveInSession($key, $value = null)

$I->haveInSession('redirect', Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard']));
$I->haveInSession(['redirect' => Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard'])]);

Assert key(/value) in session with seeInSession($key, $value = null)

$I->seeInSession('redirect'); // only checks the key exists.
$I->seeInSession('redirect', Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard']));
$I->seeInSession(['redirect', Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard'])]);

Assert key(/value) not in session with dontSeeInSession($key, $value = null)

$I->dontSeeInSession('redirect'); // only checks the key does not exist.
$I->dontSeeInSession('redirect', Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard']));
$I->dontSeeInSession(['redirect', Router::url(['_name' => 'dashboard'])]);
