Yii2 Codeception invalid routing? - php

Question

I am trying to set-up acceptance tests using Codeception in Yii2.
So far so good with regards to installation, but I am having a route issue.
When I do:
codeception run acceptance
I get this feedback:
1) Failed to ensure login page works in LoginCept (./acceptance/LoginCept.php)
Step I fill field "input[name="LoginForm[username]"]",""
Fail Form field by Label or CSS element with 'input[name="LoginForm[username]"]' was not found.
Scenario Steps:
3. $I->fillField("input[name="LoginForm[username]"]","")
2. // I am going to submit login form with no data
1. $I->amOnPage("/backend/web/index-test.php/")
The input with name LoginForm[username] exists on the page, but apparantly Codeception is not getting the correct page.
Should /backend/web/index-test.php also have the approot path in it? When I request approot/backend/web/index-test.php in the browser it all works fine.
Thanks for any pointers.

UPDATE: hereby the contents of acceptance.suite.yml:
# Codeception Test Suite Configuration
# suite for acceptance tests.
# perform tests in browser using the Selenium-like tools.
# powered by Mink (http://mink.behat.org).
# (tip: that's what your customer will see).
# (tip: test your ajax and javascript by one of Mink drivers).
# RUN `build` COMMAND AFTER ADDING/REMOVING MODULES.
class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
enabled:
- PhpBrowser
- tests\codeception\common\_support\FixtureHelper
# you can use WebDriver instead of PhpBrowser to test javascript and ajax.
# This will require you to install selenium. See http://codeception.com/docs/04-AcceptanceTests#Selenium
# "restart" option is used by the WebDriver to start each time per test-file new session and cookies,
# it is useful if you want to login in your app in each test.
# - WebDriver
config:
PhpBrowser:
# PLEASE ADJUST IT TO THE ACTUAL ENTRY POINT WITHOUT PATH INFO
url: http://localhost:8080
# WebDriver:
# url: http://localhost:8080
# browser: firefox
# restart: true
UPDATE BASED ON COMMENTS BELOW:
I'm lost. I tried hardcoding the path, and even tried hardcoding the localhost URL, but then I get this response:
$I->amOnPage("/backend/web/index-test.php/localhost/www/yii2KickDish/backend/web")
which clearly is a bogus URL....so how can I get Codeception to resolve to the right location?

Answer 1

I got the same issue.
Seems like the "amOnPage" method build into the AcceptanceTesterActions trait isnt working well with yii2 url pattern.
That's how i solved this.
Create a class MainTester extending from AcceptanceTester
namespace tests\codeception\master\Step\Acceptance;
use tests\codeception\master\AcceptanceTester;
class MainTester extends AcceptanceTester
{
public function amOnPage($url)
{
$page = \Yii::$app->getUrlManager()->createUrl($url);
return parent::amOnPage($page);
}
}
Then in my Cest class
use tests\codeception\master\Step\Acceptance\MainTester as AcceptanceTester;
class TestClassCest
{
public function testMethod(AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->amOnPage('/example/something');
}
}
