FAQ

See FAQ for more details., _(*13)

TESTING

Install additional composer packages: * php composer.phar require --dev "codeception/codeception: 1.8.*@dev" "codeception/specify: *" "codeception/verify: *", _(*14)

This application boilerplate use database in testing, so you should create three databases that are used in tests: * yii2_practical_unit - database for unit tests; * yii2_practical_functional - database for functional tests; * yii2_practical_acceptance - database for acceptance tests., _(*15)

To make your database up to date, you can run in needed test folder yii migrate, for example if you are starting from frontend tests then you should run yii migrate in each suite folder acceptance, functional, unit it will upgrade your database to the last state according migrations., _(*16)

To be able to run acceptance tests you need a running webserver. For this you can use the php builtin server and run it in the directory where your main project folder is located. For example if your application is located in /www/practical all you need to is: cd /www and then php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 because the default configuration of acceptance tests expects the url of the application to be /practical/. If you already have a server configured or your application is not located in a folder called practical, you may need to adjust the TEST_ENTRY_URL in frontend/tests/_bootstrap.php and backend/tests/_bootstrap.php., _(*17)

After that is done you should be able to run your tests, for example to run frontend tests do:, _(*18)

• cd frontend
• ../vendor/bin/codecept build
• ../vendor/bin/codecept run

In similar way you can run tests for other application tiers - backend, console, common., _(*19)

You also can adjust you application suite configs and _bootstrap.php settings to use other urls and files, as it is can be done in yii2-basic., _(*20)
