composer bootstrap v4 really needs PhpBrowser?

[zdenekgebauer]

What are you trying to achieve?

Boostrap new tests without unused modules

What do you get instead?

In ModuleContainer.php line 110:
                                                        
  Module PhpBrowser is not installed.                   
  Use Composer to install corresponding package:        
                                                        
  composer require codeception/module-phpbrowser --dev  

Steps to reproduce:

1. create new composer. json with

  "require-dev": {
    "codeception/codeception": "^4.0",
    "codeception/module-asserts": "^1.1"
  }

2. run composer install
3. run vendor\bin\codecept bootsrap

Details

• Codeception version:
• PHP Version: 7.3
• Operating System: Windows 10
• Installation type: Composer
• List of installed packages (composer show)
• Suite configuration:

Presence of PhpBrowser shouldn't be checked during boostrap. Some projects do not require acceptance nor functional tests, they require only unit test

@zdenekgebauer If you only want unit suite, use codecept init unit instead of codecept bootstrap.

Though bootstrap really requires some testing and bug fixing.

[zdenekgebauer]

Yes, this is little confusing:

• module Db is not required on bootstrap. Error about missing module appears after adding module to .yml and running test
• module Asserts is also required on bootstrap

[Naktibalda]

Two issues here.

1. Modules should be installed before creating suites: https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/4.0.1/src/Codeception/Template/Bootstrap.php#L42-L48
2. Even if the modules are installed before creating suite (codecept init unit does it in the right order), createHelper method tries to load newly created Helper class, and the error that you got above happens, because modules weren't installed when vendor/autoload.php file was loaded. I will try to reload it.

[Naktibalda]

Actually createHelper is fine, it is createActor which breaks bootstrap.

I released patch as 4.0.2
