Merging two or more environments not working - Codeception

[axboory]

What are you trying to achieve?

I'm writing an acceptance test suite and I have to make the environments easily configurable, but for this to work I need to be able to merge two or more environments (geoLocation, browser, os, urls).

What do you get instead?

If I run: .\codecept run tests\acceptance\acceptanceTestCest --env firefox the tests start running without issues with any environment I choose.

Now my problem is that if I try to merge the environments: .\codecept run tests\acceptance\acceptanceTestCest --env firefox,US I get the following message :

In Configuration.php line 306:
[Codeception\Exception\ConfigurationException]
Suite tests\acceptance\acceptanceTestCest.php was not loaded

And if I try to merge more than two environments i get this message:

Too many arguments, expected arguments "command" "suite" "test".

Details

• Codeception version: 2.4.5
• PHP Version: 7.2.8
• Operating System: Windows server 2012
• Installation type: Composer 1.7.2

My acceptance.suite.yml :

 actor: AcceptanceTester
    modules:
        enabled:
            - WebDriver:
                url: http://localhost
            - REST:
                depends: PhpBrowser
                url: 'http://localhost/api/'
            - \Helper\Acceptance
        config:
            WebDriver:
                host: 'user:key@hub.browserstack.com'
                port: 3214
                browser: chrome
                capabilities:
                    os: Windows
                    os_version: 10
                    browserstack.local: true # for local testing
    env:
        AU:
            modules:
                config:
                    WebDriver:
                        capabilities:
                            browserstack.geoLocation: AU
        US:
            modules:
                config:
                    WebDriver:
                        capabilities:
                            browserstack.geoLocation: US
        CA:
            modules:
                config:
                    WebDriver:
                        capabilities:
                            browserstack.geoLocation: CA
        firefox:
            modules:
                config:
                    WebDriver:
                        browser: firefox    
        safari:
            modules:
                config:
                    WebDriver:
                        browser: safari

I looked everywhere for this issue and I did not find anyone that even encountered it. The closest thing I found was that tests would be ran only with the second environment.

I'm new to Codeception and probably I am missing something.
I read the documentation on https://codeception.com/docs/07-AdvancedUsage#Environments and I don't seem to do anything wrong from there.

Things I tried:

Put the environments in _envs folder.
Put the environments in codeception.yml

Other things I cannot remember right now.

Thanks !

EDIT: Also I have the project on jenkins as well and merging environments works perfectly there, but if I try to download the exact same project and run it locally it still doesn't work.

try to add in acceptanceTestCest @env annotation,
exemple:

class AcceptanceTestCest
{
    /**
     * @env firefox
     * @env chrome
     * @env safari
     */
    public function acceptanceTest( ....

I tried that but it did not work.

Any update?
I've encountered this while running suite in Jenkins with Codeception 4.1.4, but for me error occurrs only when -o or --override option added. However, running same combination locally works perfect.

My command looks like this
/vendor/bin/codecept run api --env env1 --env env1,role1 --env env1,role2 --env env1,role3 -x groupname -g groupname -o "modules:config:rest:email:useremail@domain.com" -html -xml
