yii2 install, configure and run codeception tests

Question

I'm writing this because yii2 official documentation is still not complete and codeception documentation itself refer to yii2 official docs..:).

I have some questions:

• In my yii2 app root there is a directory "tests/codeception", this means that codeception is already installed in my project?
• in vendor/yiisoft there is another codeception directory "yii2-codeception" what is it?
• the documentation say to create a yii2_basic_tests database and to run a migration, but migration script create only a "migration" table, is it correct?
• the integration with yii2 provide some web interface or I must run the tests from console scripts?

Someone can explain me how to install and configure codeception in yii2 basic app step by step?

Thank you

Alessandro

Answer 1

I am doing some like that:

composer global require "codeception/codeception=2.0.*" "codeception/specify=*" "codeception/verify=*"

And next:

ln -s ~/.composer/vendor/bin/codecept /usr/local/bin/codecept

Then I am available to do globally

codecept run
