REST entry url with Yii 2 module

[nkovacs]

What are you trying to achieve?

Use the Yii2 module with the REST module.

What do you get instead?

[yii\base\InvalidConfigException] Unable to determine the path info of the current request. 

Provide test source code if related

<?php

$I = new ApiTester($scenario);
$I->sendGET('/v1/auth/token');

Details

• Codeception version: 2.3.3
• PHP Version: 7.0.19-1~dotdeb+8.1
• Operating System: Debian 8
• Installation type: Composer
• List of installed packages (composer show)
• Suite configuration:

actor: ApiTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - \Helper\Api
        - REST:
            url: /api
            depends: Yii2
            part: Json
    config:
        Yii2:
            configFile: 'codeception/config/functional.php'
            entryUrl: http://web:8080/testweb/index-test.php

If I change url in REST's config to /testweb/index-test.php/api (or even the absolute url), it works, but I don't want to do that.

According to http://codeception.com/docs/modules/Yii2#URL, I should be able to use $I->sendGET(['/v1/auth/token']); (it says "for all codeception commands that use url"), but that doesn't work, because the REST module assumes it is a string.

I use the URL helper manually:

$url = Url::to(['/moduleA/controllerB/delete', 'id' => 12345678]);
$I->sendDELETE($url);

Can this be closed after you confirm this works?

The existence of a workaround does not mean that the issue does not exist.

The documentation still says "This module provide to use native URL formats of Yii2 for all codeception commands that use url for work."

[SamMousa]

You are right; are you up for creating a PR that updates the documentation?

[nkovacs]

Updating it to what? The rest module should accept Yii's url formats too (as the documentation suggests) instead of having to use a workaround.

[SamMousa]

There is no clean way to implement this; the REST module shouldn't have knowledge of any custom URL used by some framework.
Since its functions need to be able to add params to the URL there is no solution that keeps the concerns separated.
