I am creating a new project from scratch on a Mac Catalina 10.15 with php v7.3.27 and composer v2.0.12. I have created a Codeception project before but on a different computer. I followed the quickstart guide using acceptance tests.
I generated the page objects using "php vendor/bin/codecept generate:pageobject acceptance " and generated the Cests using "php vendor/bin/codecept generate:cest acceptance "
When I try to run any tests, it says that the class isn't found. If I hover over my pages or over the word AcceptanceTester, it does not link me to anything. My project looks like this:
tests
> data
> output
v support
v _generated
AcceptanceTesterActions.php
FunctionalTesterActions.php
UnitTesterActions.php
> Helper
> Page/Acceptance
CustomerSignupHomePage.php
AcceptanceTester.php
FunctionalTester.php
UnitTester.php
v acceptance
CustomerSignupCest.php
I realized I didn't have a .bashrc in my home dir, so I created one and I updated the bash_profile similar to what I had on my working computer:
#Global composer bin
export $PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
export $PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
cat .bash_profile
#alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
export PATH="./composer/vendor/bin/:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"
~
My codeception.yml looks like this:
tests: tests
output: tests/_output
data: tests/_data
support: tests/_support
envs: tests/_envs
actor_suffix: Tester
extensions:
enabled:
- Codeception\Extension\RunFailed
My composer.json looks like this:
"require-dev": {
"codeception/codeception": "^4.1",
"codeception/module-phpbrowser": "^1.0.0",
"codeception/module-asserts": "^1.0.0"
},
"require":{
"ext-zip": "*",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.2",
"vlucas/phpdotenv": "^5.2"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"Tests\\Support\\": "tests/_support/"
}
}
}
My one Cest file looks like this:
use Tests\Support\Page\Acceptance\CustomerSignupHomePage;
class CustomerSignupCest
{
const ADDRESS = "100 Silmarillion Trail, Austin TX 78739";
const NAME = "POC Automation Tester";
const PHONE = "512-203-5555";
/**
* signUp
*
* @param AcceptanceTester $I
* @return void
*/
public function signUp(AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$I->wantToTest("the signup flow");
CustomerSignupHomePage::fillGetQuickAndEasyPrice($I, self::ADDRESS, self::NAME, self::PHONE);
}
}
My page class looks like this:
namespace Tests\Support\Page\Acceptance;
class CustomerSignupHomePage
{
// include url of current page
public static $URL = 'https://dev-www.<mycompany>.com';
/**
* Declare UI map for this page here. CSS or XPath allowed.
* public static $usernameField = '#username';
* public static $formSubmitButton = "#mainForm input[type=submit]";
*/
const ADDRESS_INPUT = "#streetAddress";
const SEE_PRICE_BUTTON = ".js-submitButton";
const NAME_INPUT = ".js-fullNameInput";
const PHONE_INPUT = ".js-phoneInput";
/**
* fillGetQuickAndEasyPrice
*
* @param AcceptanceTester $I
* @param mixed $address
* @param mixed $name
* @param mixed $phone
* @return void
*/
public static function fillGetQuickAndEasyPrice(AcceptanceTester $I, $address, $name, $phone)
{
$I->waitForElement(self::ADDRESS_INPUT);
$I->fillField(self::ADDRESS_INPUT, $address);
$I->click(self::SEE_PRICE_BUTTON);
$I->fillField(self::NAME_INPUT, $name);
$I->fillField(self::PHONE_INPUT, $phone);
$I->click(self::SEE_PRICE_BUTTON);
}
/**
* Basic route example for your current URL
* You can append any additional parameter to URL
* and use it in tests like: Page\Edit::route('/123-post');
*/
public static function route($param)
{
return static::$URL.$param;
}
/**
* @var \AcceptanceTester;
*/
protected $acceptanceTester;
public function __construct(\AcceptanceTester $I)
{
$this->acceptanceTester = $I;
}
}
If I try to run the tests, I get this error:
[TypeError] Argument 1 passed to Tests\Support\Page\Acceptance\CustomerSignupHomePage::fillGetQuickAndEasyPrice() must be an instance of Tests\Support\Page\Acceptance\AcceptanceTester, instance of AcceptanceTester given, called in /Users/julie/workspaces/Codeception-Demo/tests/acceptance/CustomerSignupCest.php on line 21
My AcceptanceTester.php is the one automatically generated by codeception:
/**
* Inherited Methods
* @method void wantToTest($text)
* @method void wantTo($text)
* @method void execute($callable)
* @method void expectTo($prediction)
* @method void expect($prediction)
* @method void amGoingTo($argumentation)
* @method void am($role)
* @method void lookForwardTo($achieveValue)
* @method void comment($description)
* @method void pause()
*
* @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD)
*/
class AcceptanceTester extends \Codeception\Actor
{
use _generated\AcceptanceTesterActions;
/**
* Define custom actions here
*/
}
My Cest file and Page file doesn't see AutomationTester at all. If I start typing $I-> it does not see any codeception methods. I have added the Codeception marketplace extension to Vscode. If I hover over AcceptanceTester in the param of my method, it doesn't take me to the class file. If I hover over the page, it doesn't take me to the page object file. It is like I am flying blind. The error happens in vscode and outside vscode in terminal.
I have tried:
You need to specify backslash before AcceptanceTester class name in the methods signatures to find class in the root namespace:
public function signUp(\AcceptanceTester $I)
public static function fillGetQuickAndEasyPrice(\AcceptanceTester $I, $address, $name, $phone)
