I want to keep or run the login before most of my tests. But if I try to move the login code to _before it doesn't work since there is no webguy instance available to me.
What is the best way to keep the session between multiple tests? This is my code so far, would be glad to receive some help. I have googled and checked the documentation but I cannot find anything about session stuff.
<?php use \WebGuy; class ProductCest { private $product_id = '1'; public function _before() { } public function _after() { } // tests public function login(WebGuy $I) { $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/auth/login'); $I->fillField("//input[@type='email']", "[email protected]"); $I->fillField("//input[@type='password']", "1234"); $I->click('#signIn .submit'); $I->wait(500); $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/account'); } /** * @depends login */ public function chooseProduct(WebGuy $I) { $I->wantTo('go to products and choose one'); $I->amOnPage('/?product=' . $this->client_id); } }
Codeception is very flexible framework that you can use to write your Selenium tests.
Codeception is a framework used for creating tests, including unit tests, functional tests, and acceptance tests.
I think that the accepted answer is a way of accomplish it, but not the best. Doing that you'll always have to reproduce all the steps to log in into the system, when you only need to share the user session. I think that grabbing the session cookie and pass it through the required user logged tests is better. To do that, you create a login function, get the cookie, and make your tests depends on the login test first:
<?php use \AcceptanceTester; class testingCest { private $cookie = null; public function _before(AcceptanceTester $I) { } public function _after(AcceptanceTester $I) { } // tests public function login(AcceptanceTester $I) { $I->wantTo('entrar al sistema'); $I->amOnPage('/'); $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/admin/login'); $I->fillField('user','perry'); $I->fillField('pass','pass-perry'); $I->click('Login'); $I->see('You\'re logged!'); $this->cookie = $I->grabCookie('your-session-cookie-name'); } /** * @depends login */ public function listUsers(AcceptanceTester $I) { $I->setCookie( 'your-session-cookie-name', $this->cookie ); $I->amOnPage('/admin/users'); $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/admin/users/1'); } /** * @depends login */ public function listRols(AcceptanceTester $I) { $I->setCookie( 'your-session-cookie-name', $this->cookie ); $I->amOnPage('/admin/rols'); $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/admin/rols/1'); } }
That way, if the login test fails, you won't get the cookie, and you won't pass the other tests.
I prefer this @depends
annotation instead of the @before
proposed in the other answer, because if you use @depends
you'll ALWAYS execute the code in the test before, and the tests will be only executed after the login.
There exists another answer bellow, https://stackoverflow.com/a/41109855/1168804 that may also help you, as the framework for Codeception has evolved since the writing of this answer.
