PHPUnit Codeception in Laravel cannot find my class

I have a class I want to unit test:

<?php namespace App\Http;

use Validator;

class Foo() {}

This class uses the Validator class to check data consistency, etc.

This is my test class:

<?php

use App\Http\Foo as Foo;

class FooTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\Test {}

When I run my test I can instantiate Foo but the Validator class cannot be found:

Fatal error: Class 'Validator' not found in...

How do I get the test to "see" the Validator class? I have tried several things including a require_once, use statements, and changing namespaces, but nothing seems to work.

Solution

  • Fixed it. I extended Laravel's TestCase class instead:

    class FooTest extends TestCase
