Works with SQL database.
The most important function of this module is to clean a database before each test.
That's why this module was added to the global configuration file codeception.yml
.
To have your database properly cleaned you should configure it to access the database.
This module also provides actions to perform checks in a database.
In order to have your database populated with data you need a raw SQL dump.
Simply put the dump in the tests/_data
directory (by default) and specify the path in the config.
The next time after the database is cleared, all your data will be restored from the dump.
Don't forget to include CREATE TABLE
statements in the dump.
Supported and tested databases are:
Supported but not tested.
Connection is done by database Drivers, which are stored in the Codeception\Lib\Driver
namespace.
Check out the drivers
if you run into problems loading dumps and cleaning databases.
Please review the code of non-stable modules and provide patches if you have issues.
modules:
enabled:
- Db:
dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb'
user: 'root'
password: ''
dump: 'tests/_data/dump.sql'
populate: true
cleanup: false
reconnect: true
dump.sql
may contain multiline statements.The delimiter, a semi-colon in this case, must be on the same line as the last statement:
-- Add a few contacts to the table.
REPLACE INTO `Contacts` (`created`, `modified`, `status`, `contact`, `first`, `last`) VALUES
(NOW(), NOW(), 1, 'Bob Ross', 'Bob', 'Ross'),
(NOW(), NOW(), 1, 'Fred Flintstone', 'Fred', 'Flintstone');
-- Remove existing orders for testing.
DELETE FROM `Order`;
seeInDatabase, dontSeeInDatabase, seeNumRecords, grabFromDatabase and grabNumRecords methods accept arrays as criteria. WHERE condition is generated using item key as a field name and item value as a field value.
Example:
<?php
$I->seeInDatabase('users', array('name' => 'Davert', 'email' => 'davert@mail.com'));
Will generate:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` WHERE `name` = 'Davert' AND `email` = 'davert@mail.com'
New addition to 2.1.9 is ability to use LIKE in condition. It is achieved by adding ' like' to column name.
Example:
<?php
$I->seeInDatabase('users', array('name' => 'Davert', 'email like' => 'davert%'));
Will generate:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` WHERE `name` = 'Davert' AND `email` LIKE 'davert%'
Effect is opposite to ->seeInDatabase
Asserts that there is no record with the given column values in a database. Provide table name and column values.
<?php
$I->dontSeeInDatabase('users', array('name' => 'Davert', 'email' => 'davert@mail.com'));
Fails if such user was found.

Fails if no such user found.
