This directory contains various tests for the advanced applications.
Tests in `codeception` directory are developed with [Codeception PHP Testing Framework](http://codeception.com/).
After creating and setting up the advanced application, follow these steps to prepare for the tests:
1. Install Codeception if it's not yet installed:
```
composer global require "codeception/codeception=2.0.*" "codeception/specify=*" "codeception/verify=*"
```
If you've never used Composer for global packages run `composer global status`. It should output:
```
Changed current directory to <directory>
```
Then add `<directory>/vendor/bin` to you `PATH` environment variable. Now you're able to use `codecept` from command
line globally.
2. Install faker extension by running the following from template root directory where `composer.json` is:
```
composer require --dev yiisoft/yii2-faker:*
```
3. Create `yii2_advanced_tests` database then update it by applying migrations:
```
codeception/bin/yii migrate
```
4. In order to be able to run acceptance tests you need to start a webserver. The simplest way is to use PHP built in
webserver. In the root directory where `common`, `frontend` etc. are execute the following:
```
php -S localhost:8080
```
5. Now you can run the tests with the following commands, assuming you are in the `tests/codeception` directory:
```
# frontend tests
cd frontend
codecept build
codecept run
# backend tests
cd backend
codecept build
codecept run
# etc.
```
If you already have run `codecept build` for each application, you can skip that step and run all tests by a single `codecept run`.
