Configuration

Global Configuration

Configuration file codeception.yml is generated by codecept bootstrap command. It has preconfigured settings you can change.

Here are global options you can change inside configuration:

• actor: Tester: changes suffix for Actor classes. This defines a rule to generate new test suites. If you change Tester to Ninja, and generate new api test suite, you will get ApiNinja actor class.
• namespace: set a namespace for tests. All new tests and support classes will be generated under that namespace. Allows to configure multiple test setups for one runner.
• include: []: include additional Codeception configurations for multiple applications setup.

• paths directories used by Codeception. Default values are:

  paths:
  # where the tests stored
  tests: tests
  
  # directory for fixture data    
  data: tests/_data
  
  # directory for support code
  support: tests/_support
  
  # directory for output
  log: tests/_output
      
  # directory for environment configuration
  envs: tests/_envs
  

• settings: provide additional options for test runner. They may dramatically change the way Codeception is executed. For instance, take a note of shuffle option which allows to randomize tests execution order and lint option that toggles parsing a test file (using php -l) before loading it.

  settings:
  
  # name of bootstrap that will be used
  # each bootstrap file should be 
  # inside a suite directory.
  bootstrap: _bootstrap.php
  
  # enable/disable syntax of test files before loading
  # for php < 7 exec('php -l') is used
  # disable if you need to speed up tests execution
  lint: true
  
  # randomize test order
  shuffle: true
  
  # by default it's false on Windows
  # use [ANSICON](https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) to colorize output.
  colors: true
  
  # Generate XML JUnit report using strict schema
  # Avoid putting additional report fields like steps or scenario names tot it
  # Required for XML reports on Jenkins CI
  strict_xml: false
  
  # Tests (especially functional) can take a lot of memory
  # We set a high limit for them by default.
  memory_limit: 1024M
      
  # This value controls whether PHPUnit attempts to backup global variables
  # See https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/appendixes.annotations.html#appendixes.annotations.backupGlobals
  backup_globals: true
  

• modules: allows to create shared module configuration for all included suites. By default sample configuration for Db module is included.

  modules:
  config:
      Db:
          dsn: ''
          user: ''
          password: ''
          dump: tests/_data/dump.sql
  

• extensions: allows to enable and configure Codeception extensions, Group Objects, and Custom Commands.

• reporters: allows to change default reporters of Codeception

• coverage: CodeCoverage settings.

• params: allows to pass external parameters into module configuration.

• gherkin: BDD-specific Gherkin options.

Suite Configuration

Each generated suite have its own configuration inside directory set by paths: tests: configuration option in codeception.yml. Each suite configuration is named like suitename.suite.yml. It allows to enable and configure modules, and more.

• class_name: name of the actor class for current suite.

• modules: list of enabled modules with their configuration.

  modules:
  # enabled modules and helpers
  enabled:
      # built-in modules are listed by their names
      - PhpBrowser:
          # module configuration
          url: http://localhost
      # this module is pre-configured in global config
      - Db
  
      # helper names are listed by their class names
      # by convention their names start with \        
      - \Helper\Acceptance
  
  # additional modules configuration
  # can be used for modules which are not currently enabled
  config:
      WebDriver:
          browser: firefox
      
  # list of modules disabled for this suite
  disabled:
      - WebDriver
  
  

• namespace: default namespace of actor, support classes and tests.

• env: override any configuration per environment.

• groups: groups with the list of tests of for corresponding group.

• coverage: pre suite CodeCoverage settings.

• gherkin: per suite BDD Gherkin settings.

• error_level: error level for runner in current suite. Should be specified for unit, integration, functional tests. Passes value to error_reporting function.

Config Templates (dist)

To provide same configuration templates for development team you can creare codeception.dist.yml config which will be loaded before codeception.yml. Dist config will provide shared options whil local codeception.yml will override them per user basis. This way codeception.yml should be ignored by VCS system.

For suite configuration template configs are also availble. Rename suitename.suite.yml to suitename.dist.yml to make a dist config.

Configuration loading order:

1. codeception.dist.yml
2. codeception.yml
3. acceptance.suite.dist.yml
4. acceptance.suite.yml
5. environment config
