I guys, I have a question about how Codeception handles errors thrown in functional tests.
I’m trying to test a restful api I’m building. Say I want to test that when I try to post non valid data to a route. In my app a throw a ValdidationException, catch it in a global error handler and return som json and a 400. It works great in the browser but when I run a functional test it will fail and just say:
Sorry, I couldn't send ajax request "PUT","/api/v1/user",{"title":"Bad data"}:
ValidationException:
Anyone got any input?
I tested the same with the API suite and there everything works as expected. Should I just stick to doing my test there? Seems a bit shame since the functional test provides much more valuable info, runs faster and are easier to integrate with Laravel.
Got the same Question. There must be an Method to catch that Exception like $I->seeException(...)
I too am having issues with this, does anybody have any ideas?
Up!
Here a workaround... but it's not really perfect:
<php
$I = new FunctionalTester($scenario);
//...
$document = Document::first();
// NOTE: App::error() doesn't seem to work with Codeception
// So we need this try catch:
try {
$I->amOnPage("/documents/".$document->id);
} catch (Efficiently\AuthorityController\Exceptions\AccessDenied $e) {
$message = $e->getMessage();
Session::flash('error', $message);
$I->amOnPage('/');
}
$I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('/');
$I->seeSessionHasValues(['error' => 'You are not authorized to access this page.']);
If someone has a better solution, it'll be really helpful!
NB: I mention this issue in the Testing Authority-Controller rules wiki page: https://github.com/efficiently/authority-controller/wiki/Testing-Authority-rules#codeception-and-laravel-exceptions
There is also a closed issue on the Codeception Github page, but the issue still occurs...
