This directory contains various tests for the basic application. Tests in `codeception` directory are developed with [Codeception PHP Testing Framework](http://codeception.com/). After creating the basic application, follow these steps to prepare for the tests: 1. Install Codeception if it's not yet installed: ``` composer global require "codeception/codeception=2.0.*" composer global require "codeception/specify=*" composer global require "codeception/verify=*" ``` If you've never used Composer for global packages run `composer global status`. It should output: ``` Changed current directory to ``` Then add `/vendor/bin` to you `PATH` environment variable. Now we're able to use `codecept` from command line globally. 2. Install faker extension by running the following from template root directory where `composer.json` is: ``` composer require --dev yiisoft/yii2-faker:* ``` 3. Create `yii2_basic_tests` database and update it by applying migrations: ``` codeception/bin/yii migrate ``` 4. Build the test suites: ``` codecept build ``` 5. In order to be able to run acceptance tests you need to start a webserver. The simplest way is to use PHP built in webserver. In the `web` directory execute the following: ``` php -S localhost:8080 ``` 6. Now you can run the tests with the following commands: ``` # run all available tests codecept run # run acceptance tests codecept run acceptance # run functional tests codecept run functional # run unit tests codecept run unit ``` Code coverage support --------------------- By default, code coverage is disabled in `codeception.yml` configuration file, you should uncomment needed rows to be able to collect code coverage. You can run your tests and collect coverage with the following command: ``` #collect coverage for all tests codecept run --coverage-html --coverage-xml #collect coverage only for unit tests codecept run unit --coverage-html --coverage-xml #collect coverage for unit and functional tests codecept run functional,unit --coverage-html --coverage-xml ``` You can see code coverage output under the `tests/_output` directory. ###Remote code coverage When you run your tests not in the same process where code coverage is collected, then you should uncomment `remote` option and its related options, to be able to collect code coverage correctly. To setup remote code coverage you should follow [instructions](http://codeception.com/docs/11-Codecoverage) from codeception site. 1. install `Codeception c3` remote support `composer require "codeception/c3:*"`; 2. copy `c3.php` file under your `web` directory; 3. include `c3.php` file in your `index-test.php` file before application run, so it can catch needed requests. Configuration options that are used by remote code coverage: - c3_url: url pointing to entry script that includes `c3.php` file, so `Codeception` will be able to produce code coverage; - remote: whether to enable remote code coverage or not; - remote_config: path to the `codeception.yml` configuration file, from the directory where `c3.php` file is located. This is needed so that `Codeception` can create itself instance and collect code coverage correctly. By default `c3_url` and `remote_config` setup correctly, you only need to copy and include `c3.php` file in your `index-test.php` After that you should be able to collect code coverage from tests that run through `PhpBrowser` or `WebDriver` with same command as for other tests: ``` #collect coverage from remote codecept run acceptance --coverage-html --coverage-xml ``` Please refer to [Codeception tutorial](http://codeception.com/docs/01-Introduction) for more details about writing and running acceptance, functional and unit tests.
