I am aware of the _bootstrap.php file that's used to set up the testing enviroment, etc., but I'm looking for a way to run some code after the entire test suite has finished.
Note that I'm not looking for a way to run code after a single class, i.e. something like _after
, but after all classes.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Codeception is very flexible framework that you can use to write your Selenium tests.
Cest is a common test format for Codeception, it is “Test” with the first C letter in it. It is scenario-driven format so all tests written in it are executed step by step. Unless you need direct access to application code inside a test, Cest format is recommended.
Codeception can be classified as a tool in the "Testing Frameworks" category, while Selenium is grouped under "Browser Testing". Selenium is an open source tool with 14.9K GitHub stars and 4.97K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Selenium's open source repository on GitHub.
Actually managed to solve this myself, here's how, if anyone is interested.
I created a new helper class inside _support.
<?php
class DataHelper extends \Codeception\Module
{
public function _beforeSuite()
{
// Set up before test suite
}
public function _afterSuite()
{
// Tear down after test suite
}
}
You can then enable this as a module in any suite configuration (the .yml files), like this:
modules:
enabled:
- DataHelper
@Sacha's solution is specially useful if you want to share the same methods accross all suites.
If you're looking for a way to define the methods for a specific suite (or if you want a different method per suite), you can define those methods directly in the suite Helper class.
For instance, if you want to define a _afterSuite
method for the Acceptance Suite, just go to support/AcceptanceHelper.php
and define those methods there. Eg:
<?php
namespace Codeception\Module;
// here you can define custom actions
// all public methods declared in helper class will be available in $I
class AcceptanceHelper extends \Codeception\Module
{
public function _afterSuite() {
die('everything done');
}
}
