Api testing with Symfony 4.1 "Environment variable not found:" Error

[sela]

What are you trying to achieve?

I try to test an GET REST API and use

   $I->sendGET('http://localhost:8000/api/displays');

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use -vvv mode for more details.

Test  tests/api/DisplayControllerCest.php:tryToTest

  [Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\EnvNotFoundException] Environment variable not found: "CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN".

@sela Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same issue with environment variables in my API tests in Symfony 4.1 and the latest version of Codeception.

Thanks for any help!

[sela]

@mvaljento I managed to use some stuff with codeception though not sure if it was for this one. Send me your code and I'll check my code at work in a few hours.

[mvaljento]

@sela Thanks very much for your offer, but I just got it working. I'm not sure what I was missing but i re-created the API test suite, removed all the database related stuff for now, and the env variables seem to be loading properly..

[sschueller]

For anyone who runs into this issue. Make sure you have

params:
    - .env.test

In your codeception.yml
