Console Commands

GenerateSnapshot

Generates Snapshot. Snapshot can be used to test dynamical data. If suite name is provided, an actor class will be included into placeholder

  • codecept g:snapshot UserEmails
  • codecept g:snapshot Products
  • codecept g:snapshot acceptance UserEmails

DryRun

Shows step by step execution process for scenario driven tests without actually running them.

  • codecept dry-run acceptance
  • codecept dry-run acceptance MyCest
  • codecept dry-run acceptance checkout.feature
  • codecept dry-run tests/acceptance/MyCest.php

GenerateScenarios

Generates user-friendly text scenarios from scenario-driven tests (Cest).

  • codecept g:scenarios acceptance - for all acceptance tests
  • codecept g:scenarios acceptance --format html - in html format
  • codecept g:scenarios acceptance --path doc - generate scenarios to doc dir

Clean

Recursively cleans output directory and generated code.

  • codecept clean

Build

Generates Actor classes (initially Guy classes) from suite configs. Starting from Codeception 2.0 actor classes are auto-generated. Use this command to generate them manually.

  • codecept build
  • codecept build path/to/project

ConfigValidate

Validates and prints Codeception config. Use it do debug Yaml configs

Check config:

  • codecept config: check global config
  • codecept config unit: check suite config

Load config:

  • codecept config:validate -c path/to/another/config: from another dir
  • codecept config:validate -c another_config.yml: from another config file

Check overriding config values (like in run command)

  • codecept config:validate -o "settings: shuffle: true": enable shuffle
  • codecept config:validate -o "settings: lint: false": disable linting
  • codecept config:validate -o "reporters: report: \Custom\Reporter" --report: use custom reporter

GenerateStepObject

Generates StepObject class. You will be asked for steps you want to implement.

  • codecept g:stepobject acceptance AdminSteps
  • codecept g:stepobject acceptance UserSteps --silent - skip action questions

GenerateFeature

Generates Feature file (in Gherkin):

  • codecept generate:feature suite Login
  • codecept g:feature suite subdir/subdir/login.feature
  • codecept g:feature suite login.feature -c path/to/project

Bootstrap

Creates default config, tests directory and sample suites for current project. Use this command to start building a test suite.

By default it will create 3 suites Acceptance, Functional, and Unit.

  • codecept bootstrap - creates tests dir and codeception.yml in current dir.
  • codecept bootstrap --empty - creates tests dir without suites
  • codecept bootstrap --namespace Frontend - creates tests, and use Frontend namespace for actor classes and helpers.
  • codecept bootstrap --actor Wizard - sets actor as Wizard, to have TestWizard actor in tests.
  • codecept bootstrap path/to/the/project - provide different path to a project, where tests should be placed

Init

GherkinSnippets

Generates code snippets for matched feature files in a suite. Code snippets are expected to be implemented in Actor or PageObjects

Usage:

  • codecept gherkin:snippets acceptance - snippets from all feature of acceptance tests
  • codecept gherkin:snippets acceptance/feature/users - snippets from feature/users dir of acceptance tests
  • codecept gherkin:snippets acceptance user_account.feature - snippets from a single feature file
  • codecept gherkin:snippets acceptance/feature/users/user_accout.feature - snippets from feature file in a dir

GenerateTest

Generates skeleton for Unit Test that extends Codeception\TestCase\Test.

  • codecept g:test unit User
  • codecept g:test unit "App\User"

SelfUpdate

Auto-updates phar archive from official site: 'https://codeception.com/codecept.phar' .

  • php codecept.phar self-update

GeneratePageObject

Generates PageObject. Can be generated either globally, or just for one suite. If PageObject is generated globally it will act as UIMap, without any logic in it.

  • codecept g:page Login
  • codecept g:page Registration
  • codecept g:page acceptance Login

GenerateEnvironment

Generates empty environment configuration file into envs dir:

  • codecept g:env firefox

Required to have envs path to be specified in codeception.yml

Console

Try to execute test commands in run-time. You may try commands before writing the test.

  • codecept console acceptance - starts acceptance suite environment. If you use WebDriver you can manipulate browser with Codeception commands.

Run

Executes tests.

Usage:

  • codecept run acceptance: run all acceptance tests
  • codecept run tests/acceptance/MyCest.php: run only MyCest
  • codecept run acceptance MyCest: same as above
  • codecept run acceptance MyCest:myTestInIt: run one test from a Cest
  • codecept run acceptance MyCest:myTestInIt#1: run one example or data provider item by number
  • codecept run acceptance MyCest:myTestInIt#1-3: run a range of examples or data provider items
  • codecept run acceptance MyCest:myTestInIt@name.*: run data provider items with matching names
  • codecept run acceptance checkout.feature: run feature-file
  • codecept run acceptance -g slow: run tests from slow group
  • codecept run unit,functional: run only unit and functional suites

Verbosity modes:

  • codecept run -v:
  • codecept run --steps: print step-by-step execution
  • codecept run -vv: print steps and debug information
  • codecept run --debug: alias for -vv
  • codecept run -vvv: print Codeception-internal debug information

Load config:

  • codecept run -c path/to/another/config: from another dir
  • codecept run -c another_config.yml: from another config file

Override config values:

  • codecept run -o "settings: shuffle: true": enable shuffle
  • codecept run -o "settings: lint: false": disable linting

Run with specific extension

  • codecept run --ext Recorder run with Recorder extension enabled
  • codecept run --ext DotReporter run with DotReporter printer
  • codecept run --ext "My\Custom\Extension" run with an extension loaded by class name
