Run Codeception API Test with Yii2

Yii 2.0 Testing
1

I have been fighting with this problem for hours and cannot get through. I want to run API tests with Yii2 and (of course) Codeception. Here is my api.suite.yml




class_name: ApiTester

modules:

	enabled:

    	- REST:

        	url: /mobile

        	depends: Yii2

        	part: Json

    	- \Helper\Api

	config:

    	Yii2:

        	entryUrl: http://localhost:8080/index-test.php

and my test file UserLoginCept.php




<?php 

$I = new ApiTester($scenario);

$I->wantTo('Test User Login');

$I->sendPOST('mobile/login', ['username' => 'uname', 'password' => '123456']);

$I->seeResponseCodeIs(\Codeception\Util\HttpCode::OK);

$I->seeResponseContainsJson(['success'=>true]);

Results are logged below. The problem is the Test is calling site/index which is in the root project not mobile module. I can sense that it is picking wrong URL somewhere as I cannot see any trace of the module being called. If I try URL on Browser it works fine http://localhost:808…obile/api/login




{


	"success": false,

	"token": ""


}

can someone help me spot what am doing wrong? I have read as much as I could could not find the issue.

Codeception Results:
