Status

Maintainer: raistlin
Stability: stable

Config

Symfony 2.x

app_path: ‘app’ - specify custom path to your app dir, where bootstrap cache and kernel interface is located.
environment: ‘local’ - environment used for load kernel
debug: true - turn on/off debug mode
em_service: ‘doctrine.orm.entity_manager’ - use the stated EntityManager to pair with Doctrine Module.
cache_router: ‘false’ - enable router caching between tests in order to increase performance
rebootable_client: ‘true’ - reboot client’s kernel before each request

Example (`functional.suite.yml`) - Symfony 2.x Directory Structure

   modules:
       - Symfony:
           app_path: 'app/front'
           environment: 'local_test'

Symfony 3.x Directory Structure

app_path: ‘app’ - specify custom path to your app dir, where the kernel interface is located.
var_path: ‘var’ - specify custom path to your var dir, where bootstrap cache is located.
environment: ‘local’ - environment used for load kernel
em_service: ‘doctrine.orm.entity_manager’ - use the stated EntityManager to pair with Doctrine Module.
debug: true - turn on/off debug mode
cache_router: ‘false’ - enable router caching between tests in order to increase performance
rebootable_client: ‘true’ - reboot client’s kernel before each request

Example (`functional.suite.yml`) - Symfony 3 Directory Structure

modules:
   enabled:
      - Symfony:
          app_path: 'app/front'
          var_path: 'var'
          environment: 'local_test'
 

Public Properties

kernel - HttpKernel instance
client - current Crawler instance

Parts

services - allows to use Symfony DIC only with WebDriver or PhpBrowser modules.

Usage example:

actor: AcceptanceTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - Symfony:
            part: SERVICES
        - Doctrine2:
            depends: Symfony
        - WebDriver:
            url: http://your-url.com
            browser: phantomjs

Actions

_findElements

hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes

Locates element using available Codeception locator types:

XPath
CSS
Strict Locator

Use it in Helpers or GroupObject or Extension classes:

<?php
$els = $this->getModule('Symfony')->_findElements('.items');
$els = $this->getModule('Symfony')->_findElements(['name' => 'username']);

$editLinks = $this->getModule('Symfony')->_findElements(['link' => 'Edit']);
// now you can iterate over $editLinks and check that all them have valid hrefs

WebDriver module returns Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebElement instances PhpBrowser and Framework modules return Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler instances

param $locator
return array of interactive elements

_getResponseContent

hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes

Returns content of the last response Use it in Helpers when you want to retrieve response of request performed by another module.

<?php
// in Helper class
public function seeResponseContains($text)
{
   $this->assertContains($text, $this->getModule('Symfony')->_getResponseContent(), "response contains");
}
?>

return string @throws ModuleException

_loadPage

hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes

Opens a page with arbitrary request parameters. Useful for testing multi-step forms on a specific step.

<?php
// in Helper class
public function openCheckoutFormStep2($orderId) {
    $this->getModule('Symfony')->_loadPage('POST', '/checkout/step2', ['order' => $orderId]);
}
?>

param $method
param $uri
param array $parameters
param array $files
param array $server
param null $content

_request

hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes

Send custom request to a backend using method, uri, parameters, etc. Use it in Helpers to create special request actions, like accessing API Returns a string with response body.

<?php
// in Helper class
public function createUserByApi($name) {
    $userData = $this->getModule('Symfony')->_request('POST', '/api/v1/users', ['name' => $name]);
    $user = json_decode($userData);
    return $user->id;
}
?>

Does not load the response into the module so you can’t interact with response page (click, fill forms). To load arbitrary page for interaction, use _loadPage method.

param $method
param $uri
param array $parameters
param array $files
param array $server
param null $content
return mixed|Crawler @throws ExternalUrlException @see _loadPage

_savePageSource

hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes

Saves page source of to a file

$this->getModule('Symfony')->_savePageSource(codecept_output_dir().'page.html');

param $filename

amHttpAuthenticated

Authenticates user for HTTP_AUTH

param $username
param $password

amOnPage

Opens the page for the given relative URI.

<?php
// opens front page
$I->amOnPage('/');
// opens /register page
$I->amOnPage('/register');

param string $page

amOnRoute

Opens web page using route name and parameters.

<?php
$I->amOnRoute('posts.create');
$I->amOnRoute('posts.show', array('id' => 34));
?>

param $routeName
param array $params

attachFile

Attaches a file relative to the Codeception _data directory to the given file upload field.

<?php
// file is stored in 'tests/_data/prices.xls'
$I->attachFile('input[@type="file"]', 'prices.xls');
?>

param $field
param $filename

checkOption

Ticks a checkbox. For radio buttons, use the selectOption method instead.

<?php
$I->checkOption('#agree');
?>

param $option

click

Perform a click on a link or a button, given by a locator. If a fuzzy locator is given, the page will be searched for a button, link, or image matching the locator string. For buttons, the “value” attribute, “name” attribute, and inner text are searched. For links, the link text is searched. For images, the “alt” attribute and inner text of any parent links are searched.

The second parameter is a context (CSS or XPath locator) to narrow the search.

Note that if the locator matches a button of type submit, the form will be submitted.

<?php
// simple link
$I->click('Logout');
// button of form
$I->click('Submit');
// CSS button
$I->click('#form input[type=submit]');
// XPath
$I->click('//form/*[@type=submit]');
// link in context
$I->click('Logout', '#nav');
// using strict locator
$I->click(['link' => 'Login']);
?>

param $link
param $context

deleteHeader

Deletes the header with the passed name. Subsequent requests will not have the deleted header in its request.

Example:

<?php
$I->haveHttpHeader('X-Requested-With', 'Codeception');
$I->amOnPage('test-headers.php');
// ...
$I->deleteHeader('X-Requested-With');
$I->amOnPage('some-other-page.php');
?>

param string $name the name of the header to delete.

dontSee

Checks that the current page doesn’t contain the text specified (case insensitive). Give a locator as the second parameter to match a specific region.

<?php
$I->dontSee('Login');                         // I can suppose user is already logged in
$I->dontSee('Sign Up','h1');                  // I can suppose it's not a signup page
$I->dontSee('Sign Up','//body/h1');           // with XPath
$I->dontSee('Sign Up', ['css' => 'body h1']); // with strict CSS locator

Note that the search is done after stripping all HTML tags from the body, so $I->dontSee('strong') will fail on strings like:

<p>I am Stronger than thou</p>
<script>document.createElement('strong');</script>

But will ignore strings like:

<strong>Home</strong>
<div class="strong">Home</strong>

For checking the raw source code, use seeInSource().

Checks that current url doesn’t match the given regular expression.

<?php
// to match root url
$I->dontSeeCurrentUrlMatches('~$/users/(\d+)~');

     'fieldName' => [
         'This value shouldn\'t be set',
         'And this value shouldn\'t be set',
     ],
]);
?>

Additionally, checkbox values can be checked with a boolean.

<?php
$I->dontSeeInFormFields('#form-id', [

?>

Pair this with submitForm for quick testing magic.

<?php

$I->selectOption('form input[name=payment]', 'Monthly');
$I->selectOption('//form/select[@name=account]', 'Monthly');
?>

Provide an array for the second argument to select multiple options:

<?php
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('Windows','Linux'));
?>

Or provide an associative array for the second argument to specifically define which selection method should be used:

<?php
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('text' => 'Windows')); // Only search by text 'Windows'
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('value' => 'windows')); // Only search by value 'windows'
?>

param $select
param $option

sendAjaxGetRequest

If your page triggers an ajax request, you can perform it manually. This action sends a GET ajax request with specified params.

See ->sendAjaxPostRequest for examples.

param $uri
param $params

sendAjaxPostRequest

If your page triggers an ajax request, you can perform it manually. This action sends a POST ajax request with specified params. Additional params can be passed as array.

Example:

Imagine that by clicking checkbox you trigger ajax request which updates user settings. We emulate that click by running this ajax request manually.

<?php
$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/updateSettings', array('notifications' => true)); // POST
$I->sendAjaxGetRequest('/updateSettings', array('notifications' => true)); // GET

param $uri
param $params

sendAjaxRequest

If your page triggers an ajax request, you can perform it manually. This action sends an ajax request with specified method and params.

Example:

You need to perform an ajax request specifying the HTTP method.

<?php
$I->sendAjaxRequest('PUT', '/posts/7', array('title' => 'new title'));

param $method
param $uri
param $params

setCookie

Sets a cookie with the given name and value. You can set additional cookie params like domain, path, expires, secure in array passed as last argument.

<?php
$I->setCookie('PHPSESSID', 'el4ukv0kqbvoirg7nkp4dncpk3');
?>

param $name
param $val
param array $params

submitForm

Submits the given form on the page, with the given form values. Pass the form field’s values as an array in the second parameter.

Although this function can be used as a short-hand version of fillField(), selectOption(), click() etc. it has some important differences:

Only field names may be used, not CSS/XPath selectors nor field labels
If a field is sent to this function that does not exist on the page, it will silently be added to the HTTP request. This is helpful for testing some types of forms, but be aware that you will not get an exception like you would if you called fillField() or selectOption() with a missing field.

Fields that are not provided will be filled by their values from the page, or from any previous calls to fillField(), selectOption() etc. You don’t need to click the ‘Submit’ button afterwards. This command itself triggers the request to form’s action.

You can optionally specify which button’s value to include in the request with the last parameter (as an alternative to explicitly setting its value in the second parameter), as button values are not otherwise included in the request.

Examples:

<?php
$I->submitForm('#login', [
    'login' => 'davert',
    'password' => '123456'
]);
// or
$I->submitForm('#login', [
    'login' => 'davert',
    'password' => '123456'
], 'submitButtonName');

For example, given this sample “Sign Up” form:

<form action="/sign_up">
    Login:
    <input type="text" name="user[login]" /><br/>
    Password:
    <input type="password" name="user[password]" /><br/>
    Do you agree to our terms?
    <input type="checkbox" name="user[agree]" /><br/>
    Select pricing plan:
    <select name="plan">
        <option value="1">Free</option>
        <option value="2" selected="selected">Paid</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
</form>

You could write the following to submit it:

<?php
$I->submitForm(
    '#userForm',
    [
        'user' => [
            'login' => 'Davert',
            'password' => '123456',
            'agree' => true
        ]
    ],
    'submitButton'
);

Note that “2” will be the submitted value for the “plan” field, as it is the selected option.

You can also emulate a JavaScript submission by not specifying any buttons in the third parameter to submitForm.

<?php
$I->submitForm(
    '#userForm',
    [
        'user' => [
            'login' => 'Davert',
            'password' => '123456',
            'agree' => true
        ]
    ]
);

This function works well when paired with seeInFormFields() for quickly testing CRUD interfaces and form validation logic.

<?php
$form = [
     'field1' => 'value',
     'field2' => 'another value',
     'checkbox1' => true,
     // ...
];
$I->submitForm('#my-form', $form, 'submitButton');
// $I->amOnPage('/path/to/form-page') may be needed
$I->seeInFormFields('#my-form', $form);

Parameter values can be set to arrays for multiple input fields of the same name, or multi-select combo boxes. For checkboxes, you can use either the string value or boolean true/false which will be replaced by the checkbox’s value in the DOM.

<?php
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
     'field1' => 'value',
     'checkbox' => [
         'value of first checkbox',
         'value of second checkbox',
     ],
     'otherCheckboxes' => [
         true,
         false,
         false
     ],
     'multiselect' => [
         'first option value',
         'second option value'
     ]
]);

Mixing string and boolean values for a checkbox’s value is not supported and may produce unexpected results.

Field names ending in [] must be passed without the trailing square bracket characters, and must contain an array for its value. This allows submitting multiple values with the same name, consider:

<?php
// This will NOT work correctly
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
    'field[]' => 'value',
    'field[]' => 'another value',  // 'field[]' is already a defined key
]);

The solution is to pass an array value:

<?php
// This way both values are submitted
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
    'field' => [
        'value',
        'another value',
    ]
]);
