Use CodeCeption assertion in conditional (if) statement

Question

I'm totally new with CodeCeption.

I want to do an action/assertion depending on another assertion result, like this:

if ($I->see('message')){      $I->click('button_close');  } 

Is something like that possible? I tried, but doesn't work. Probably the assertion result doesn't apply to IF, but is there any alternative?

Thanks in advance!

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Finally Codeception now has the function performOn!! http://codeception.com/docs/modules/WebDriver#performOn

I had this same issue. Although it's not ideal, you can do this:

try {     $I->see('message');     // Continue to do this if it's present     // ... } catch (Exception $e) {     // Do this if it's not present.     // ... }

In tests/_support/AcceptanceHelper.php add additional method

function seePageHasElement($element) {     try {         $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_findElements($element);     } catch (\PHPUnit_Framework_AssertionFailedError $f) {         return false;     }     return true; } 

Then to test in your acceptance test use:

if ($I->seePageHasElement("input[name=address]")) {     $I->fillField("input[name=address]", "IM"); }
