集成Codeception以在laravel中使用

Question

Is there any way of integrating codeception into laravel that i can use it in my Controllers?

For instance let's assume I've got a route Route::post('/plugins/test', PluginController@test_plugins)

In my PluginController class I want to test whether my app works correctly or not. In my case, I wanna check this after updating a plugin by using the same semantics for acceptance tests in codeception, something like:

public function test_plugins(){
 $I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario);
 $I->wantTo('check that ... ');
 $I->amOnPage('/plugins');
 $I->seeInDatabase( ... );
 ....

 return "site works (not) correctly";
}

I am using Laravel 4.2

Cheers Jakob

I think you are trying to do it in the wrong way. Controller never should test anything. Controller is a thing that just know what to do when the route were called. This means that you may want to call console command from the controller which will run your tests but not write testing code in controller itself.

So the steps to achieve what do you want to do are:

1. Create test suit as usual in your tests folder
2. Create the controller
3. Call the ./vendor/bin/codecept run unit YourTestCest
