Configuration

The Craft module is configured through the codeception.yml file.

The Craft module inherits all configuration options from the Yii2 codeception module (opens new window). All its configuration options (opens new window) are thus also available to use and not explained here.

Config options

projectConfig

Accepts: Object

The setupDb parameter controls how the database is setup before tests. It accepts an object with the following parameters.

• file (Required): What file the project config setting must be copied from. This is not the project.yml file in CRAFT_CONFIG_PATH but instead the file whose contents will be copied into the project.yml file located here.
• reset: Whether the project config should be reset before each test is run. If enabled Craft will reset the project config to what is specified in the project.yml file located in CRAFT_CONFIG_PATH. Can safely be disabled if you are not making changes to project config during your tests.

If you have enabled projectConfig, regular DB based fixtures for Project Config data (i.e sections) may cause syncing issues. It is recommended to setup your environment using the project.yml file only.

migrations

Accepts: Array|Object

The migrations parameter accepts an Array of objects with the following parameters.

• class (Required): The migration class
• params: Any parameters that must be passed into the migration.

Migrations will be applied before any tests are run.

plugins

Accepts: Array|Object

The plugins parameter accepts an Array of objects with the following parameters.

• class (Required): The main plugin class
• handle (Required): The plugin handle

Plugins will be installed before any tests are run.

setupDb

Accepts: Object

The setupDb parameter controls how the database is setup before tests. The projectConfig setting accepts an object with the following parameters:

• clean: Whether all tables should be deleted before any tests.
• setupCraft: Whether the Install.php migration should be run before any tests.
• applyMigrations: Whether migrations stored in CRAFT_MIGRATIONS_PATH should be applied before any tests are run.

edition

Accepts: int

Determines what edition Craft must be in when running your tests and what is returned when calling Craft::$app->getEdition(). Note if projectConfig is enabled the edition property will be ignored. To set an edition you must define the desired edition in the project.yml instead.

PHP Constants

Additionally, you will have to define several PHP Constants for the test suite to use. All of these constants must be defined in the tests/_bootstrap.php.

CRAFT_STORAGE_PATH

The storage path Craft can use during testing.

CRAFT_TEMPLATES_PATH

The templates path Craft can use during testing.

CRAFT_CONFIG_PATH

The config path Craft can use during testing.

If you are testing an actual Craft site this directory cannot be the config directory you use for the production site. Ensure it is located within the tests/_craft/ folder.

CRAFT_MIGRATIONS_PATH

The path to the folder where all your migration classes are stored.

CRAFT_TRANSLATIONS_PATH

The path to the folder where all your translations are stored.

CRAFT_VENDOR_PATH

Path to the vendor directory.
