This module allows you to run tests inside Zend Framework. It acts just like ControllerTestCase, but with usage of Codeception syntax.
It assumes, you have standard structure with APPLICATION_PATH set to './application' and LIBRARY_PATH set to './library'. If it's not then set the appropriate path in the Config.
Unfortunately Zend_Db doesn't support nested transactions, thus, for cleaning your database you should either use standard Db module or implement nested transactions yourself.
If your database supports nested transactions (MySQL doesn't) or you implemented them you can put all your code inside a transaction. Use a generated helper TestHelper. Use this code inside of it.
<?php
namespace Codeception\Module;
class TestHelper extends \Codeception\Module {
function _before($test) {
$this->getModule('ZF1')->db->beginTransaction();
}
function _after($test) {
$this->getModule('ZF1')->db->rollback();
}
}
?>
This will make your functional tests run super-fast.
hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes
Locates element using available Codeception locator types:
Use it in Helpers or GroupObject or Extension classes:
<?php
$els = $this->getModule('ZF1')->_findElements('.items');
$els = $this->getModule('ZF1')->_findElements(['name' => 'username']);
$editLinks = $this->getModule('ZF1')->_findElements(['link' => 'Edit']);
// now you can iterate over $editLinks and check that all them have valid hrefs

$optionPerform a click on a link or a button, given by a locator. If a fuzzy locator is given, the page will be searched for a button, link, or image matching the locator string. For buttons, the "value" attribute, "name" attribute, and inner text are searched. For links, the link text is searched. For images, the "alt" attribute and inner text of any parent links are searched.
The second parameter is a context (CSS or XPath locator) to narrow the search.
Note that if the locator matches a button of type submit
, the form will be submitted.
<?php
// simple link
$I->click('Logout');
// button of form
$I->click('Submit');
// CSS button
$I->click('#form input[type=submit]');

// ...
$I->deleteHeader('X-Requested-With');
$I->amOnPage('some-other-page.php');

so $I->dontSee('strong')
will fail on strings like:

$paramsSubmits the given form on the page, with the given form values. Pass the form field's values as an array in the second parameter.
Although this function can be used as a short-hand version of
fillField()
, selectOption()
, click()
etc. it has some important
differences:
fillField()
or selectOption()
with
a missing field.Fields that are not provided will be filled by their values from the page,
or from any previous calls to fillField()
, selectOption()
etc.
You don't need to click the 'Submit' button afterwards.
This command itself triggers the request to form's action.
You can optionally specify which button's value to include in the request with the last parameter (as an alternative to explicitly setting its value in the second parameter), as button values are not otherwise included in the request.
Examples:
<?php
$I->submitForm('#login', [
'login' => 'davert',
'password' => '123456'
]);
// or
$I->submitForm('#login', [
'login' => 'davert',
'password' => '123456'
], 'submitButtonName');
For example, given this sample "Sign Up" form:
<form action="/sign_up">
Login:
<input type="text" name="user[login]" /><br/>
Password:
<input type="password" name="user[password]" /><br/>
Do you agree to our terms?
<input type="checkbox" name="user[agree]" /><br/>
Select pricing plan:
<select name="plan">
<option value="1">Free</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Paid</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
</form>
You could write the following to submit it:
<?php
$I->submitForm(
'#userForm',
[
'user' => [
'login' => 'Davert',
'password' => '123456',
'agree' => true
]
],
'submitButton'
);
Note that "2" will be the submitted value for the "plan" field, as it is the selected option.
You can also emulate a JavaScript submission by not specifying any buttons in the third parameter to submitForm.
<?php
$I->submitForm(
'#userForm',
[
'user' => [
'login' => 'Davert',
'password' => '123456',
'agree' => true
]
]
);
This function works well when paired with seeInFormFields()
for quickly testing CRUD interfaces and form validation logic.
<?php
$form = [
'field1' => 'value',
'field2' => 'another value',
'checkbox1' => true,
// ...
];
$I->submitForm('#my-form', $form, 'submitButton');
// $I->amOnPage('/path/to/form-page') may be needed
$I->seeInFormFields('#my-form', $form);
Parameter values can be set to arrays for multiple input fields
of the same name, or multi-select combo boxes. For checkboxes,
you can use either the string value or boolean true
/false
which will
be replaced by the checkbox's value in the DOM.
<?php
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field1' => 'value',
'checkbox' => [
'value of first checkbox',
'value of second checkbox',
],
'otherCheckboxes' => [
true,
false,
false
],
'multiselect' => [
'first option value',
'second option value'
]
]);
Mixing string and boolean values for a checkbox's value is not supported and may produce unexpected results.
Field names ending in []
must be passed without the trailing square
bracket characters, and must contain an array for its value. This allows
submitting multiple values with the same name, consider:
<?php
// This will NOT work correctly
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field[]' => 'value',
'field[]' => 'another value', // 'field[]' is already a defined key
]);
The solution is to pass an array value:
<?php
// This way both values are submitted
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field' => [
'value',
'another value',
]
]);
