Does the if function work in codepcetion ?

[Roobix13]

I am a bit confused, to understand why i will explain the problem im having.

Problem

Users enters a number, then there is a 'check' method to see if the number ( in this case room ) is available.
I made a simple if function but codeception just stops at the condition.
After the if condition, which results in true, it should chose another floor and pick another room to check if that is available.

`$I->wantTo('Pick a available room');

    $I->selectOption('body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div > div > div.mod-desired-room__filter > div.js-build-desired-level-select > div.input-select > select','1. Etage');

    $I->fillField('body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div > div > div.mod-desired-room__filter > div.js-build-desired-choose-room > div.grid.js-desired-room-choose > div > div > div:nth-child(1) > div > input[type="text"]','107');
    $this->checkFavRoom($I);

    if ($I->see('ENTSCHULDIGUNG'))
    {
        $I->selectOption('body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div > div > div.mod-desired-room__filter > div.js-build-desired-level-select > div.input-select > select','2. Etage');
        $I->fillField('body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div > div > div.mod-desired-room__filter > div.js-build-desired-choose-room > div.grid.js-desired-room-choose > div > div > div:nth-child(1) > div > input[type="text"]','214');
        $this->checkFavRoom($I);

    }`

Shell output with -vvv

 I select option "body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-
 ready > div > div.mfp-content > div...","1. Etage"

 I fill field "body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div >...","107"

 I click "body > div.mfp-wrap.mfp-close-btn-in.mfp-auto-cursor.mfp-desired-room.mfp-ready > div > div.mfp-content > div > div > div > div...."

 I see "ENTSCHULDIGUNG"

see is not a condition - it is an assertion. If see fails, it throws exception and execution of test stops.
If it succeeds, it doesn't return anything.

Using if in test is a bad practice (if it actually is a test), you should have 2 separate tests - one when room is available and another when it isn't.

Okay that does make sense.
Thank you.

EDIT: The Problem is, One day the Room may be taken and one day the Room may not be taken.
So even if i make one test for a Taken room and one test for a available room, It will vary a lot of the times.

Don't run tests on live database.
Run tests on test database that you man mend in any way you like with Db module.

...and don't use IFs inside tests. Tests should be predictable.
If your tests will fail you won't know is the problem in code, in room, or in moon phase. That's why run tests on predefined set of data. This way passing of a test will depend on the codebase only.
