phalcon_testing

###Preamble: A sample Phalcon App that demonstrates CodeCeption testing options. One day I needed to learn about testing my phalcon app and this repo stores a working demonstration of what I learned. You too can test your Phalcon apps.

###Credits: Heavily copied from...uh inspired by Cujo and his example application

###Setup Notes:

• Created from phalcon-dev tools scaffolding
• Might need to give the web server RW permissions on app/cache
• Might need to configure mod_rewrite or other clean url type functionality
• Codeception installed via composer, commands will be based on this method.
• Assumes you already installed composer

Clone this repo

$ git clone HTTP://PATH-TO-REPO

$ cd PATH-TO-REPO

Initialize Composer

$ composer install

It wouldn't hurt to rebuild codeception files

$ ./vendor/bin/codecept build

• ProTip: You might need to first make the codecept shell script to be executable*

$ chmod +x vendor/codeception/codeception/codecept

Configure a couple of files with specific values for your environment:

• app/config/config.php (The DB & URI values)
• tests/acceptance.suite.yml

Run the built in tests

$ ./vendor/bin/codecept run

##Errors

Failed to perform actions and see result in funcSampleCept (/code/phalcon_testing/tests/functional/funcSampleCept.php) Can't be on page "/": PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

You get this error because Phalcon has DB configuration options in addition to those set by codeception.
DB connection information in codeception.yml takes a back seat to the DB config values you set in Phalcon (ie. app/config/config.php)
