Acceptance test reuse login code

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

I am new to using the test features of Yii 2. I have managed to get a simple login test all working with the examples. But i want to create more tests in my admin section. This requires the user to login for every function. How would i reuse the login code every time instead of writing login actions on every test?

Yes, that is possible. :)

Take a look at the code that the advanced app template generates for you and find ‘tests/codeception/common/_pages’.

The login page:




<?php


namespace tests\codeception\common\_pages;


use yii\codeception\BasePage;


/**

 * Represents loging page

 * @property \codeception_frontend\AcceptanceTester|\codeception_frontend\FunctionalTester|\codeception_backend\AcceptanceTester|\codeception_backend\FunctionalTester $actor

 */

class LoginPage extends BasePage

{

	public $route = 'user/login';


	/**

 	* @param string $username

 	* @param string $password

 	*/

	public function login($username, $password)

	{

    	$this->actor->fillField('input[name="LoginForm[username]"]', $username);

    	$this->actor->fillField('input[name="LoginForm[password]"]', $password);

    	$this->actor->click('login-button');

	}

}

Then that one is used in the tests/codeception/frontend/acceptance/LoginCept.php :


<?php

use tests\codeception\frontend\AcceptanceTester;

use tests\codeception\common\_pages\LoginPage;


/* @var $scenario Codeception\Scenario */


$I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario);

$I->wantTo('ensure login page works');


$loginPage = LoginPage::openBy($I);


$I->amGoingTo('submit login form with no data');

$loginPage->login('', '');

$I->expectTo('see validations errors');

$I->see('Username cannot be blank.', '.help-block');

$I->see('Password cannot be blank.', '.help-block');


$I->amGoingTo('try to login with wrong credentials');

$I->expectTo('see validations errors');

$loginPage->login('admin', 'wrong');

$I->expectTo('see validations errors');

$I->see('Incorrect username or password.', '.help-block');


$I->amGoingTo('try to login with correct credentials');

$loginPage->login('erau', 'password_0');

$I->expectTo('see that user is logged');

$I->see('Logout (erau)', 'form button[type=submit]');

$I->dontSeeLink('Login');

$I->dontSeeLink('Signup');

/** Uncomment if using WebDriver

 * $I->click('Logout (erau)');

 * $I->dontSeeLink('Logout (erau)');

 * $I->seeLink('Login');

 */
