Codeception fixture without instantiate db component?

Yii 2.0 Testing
1

I have fixture which job is all about the filesystem, nothing with any database. It works fine when is loaded from command line.
However, when I hook it up to the codeception test it generates error

[yii\di\NotInstantiableException] Failed to instantiate component or class "db"

In fact I have no db in my project.
How can I run codeception test with fixture without db component instantiate try?

You need to provide sample of what is not working.

I have thought it would be something pretty easy :slight_smile: Few details then:
In my unit test class I added method to run fixture which job is prepare some files:

class VersionTrimTestTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit
[...]
public function _fixtures()
  {
    return [
      'files' => VersionedFilesFixture::class,
    ];
  }

When running, every test method throws exception e.g:

1) VersionTrimTestTest: Function get older files keep files
 Test  tests/unit/VersionTrimTestTest.php:testFunctionGetOlderFilesKeepFiles

[yii\di\NotInstantiableException] Failed to instantiate component or class "db".

Manually the fixture works fine, I can run it from command line without any problems. In my project I have no db component. I don’t want the codeception tries to instantiate any. Is this possible?

Hi, I have similar problem.

There are 2 databases in my app, so in the config file (common\config\test-local.php) there are 2 components (class yii\db\Connection), respectively with id “db1” and “db2” , but no one with id “db”.

When I run codeception test it generates error:
[yii\di\NotInstantiableException] Failed to instantiate component or class “db”.

However I overrided the “db” property of my Fixture:

class MyFixture extends ActiveFixture
{
    public $modelClass = '\path\to\MyARModel';
    public $db = 'db1';
}

If I create an empty database, then add it as “db” component to config file, all works well (although tests run on db1).

How can I run codeception test with fixture without db component instantiate try?
