Yii2 + Codeception: How to use fixtures?

I wrote a simple test for my Yii2 application using Codeception. Instead of using the real MySQL db, I want to use fixtures.

Here is the code:

tests/PersonTest.php:

namespace app\tests\unit\models;

use tests\fixtures;
use app\controllers;

class PersonTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit
{
    protected $tester;
    public $appConfig = '@app/config/main.php';

    protected function _before(){ }
    protected function _after(){ }

    public function _fixtures()
    {
        return [ 'Person' => fixtures\PersonFixture::className() ];
    }

    public function testUser(){
        $person = Person::findOne( [ "id" => 1 ] );
        $userId = isset( $person->id ) ? $person->id : false;
        $this->assertEquals( 1, $userId );
    }
}

tests/fixtures/data/Person.php

return [
    'person1' => [
        'id'            => 1,
        'firstname'     => 'Foo',
        'lastname'      => 'Bar',

    ],
];

tests/fixtures/Person.php

namespace tests\fixtures;

use yii\test\ActiveFixture;

class PersonFixture extends ActiveFixture
{
    public $modelClass = 'app\models\Person';
}

When I run the test, I just get the error:

[Error] Class 'tests\fixtures\PersonFixture' not found

I tried 100 different things, but I can not make it work. If this simple example would work for me, I could create real tests.

You have to change fixture file name from Person.php to PersonFixture.php and it will start working.

with codeception 4.0.3 you can run your fixture by following the steps...
create fixtures folder inside test
[fixture folder][1]

  [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/uK9Cy.png
inside your fixtures/data/book.php

<?php
return [
    'book1' => [
        'title' => 'lmayert',
        'isbn' => 'Ibn-098',
    ],
    'user2' => [
        'title' => 'napoleon69',
        'isbn' => 'Ibn-042',        
    ],
];

your fixtures/BookFixture be like this:

<?php

namespace app\tests\fixtures;

use yii\test\ActiveFixture;

/**
 * 
 */
class BookFixture extends ActiveFixture
{
    public $modelClass = 'app\models\Book';
}

Now the tests/unit/BookTest be like this

<?php 
use app\tests\unit\fixtures\BookFixture;
class BookTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit
{
    /**
     * @var \UnitTester
     */
    protected $tester;

    protected function _before()
    {
    }

    protected function _after()
    {
    }

    public function _fixtures() {
        return [
            'books' => 'app\tests\fixtures\BookFixture',
        ];
    }
    // tests
    public function testBook()
    {
        $book1 = $this->tester->grabFixture('books','book1');
        $this->assertEquals(1,$book1->id);
    }
}

I hope this will help

With Codeception 2.3.8 you can do it like this:

Define your fixture (and have the data file just like you have in your question)

namespace app\tests\fixtures;

class PersonFixture extends \yii\test\ActiveFixture {

    public $modelClass = 'app\models\Person';

}

And write your test

namespace app\tests\unit;

class PersonTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit {

    public function _fixtures() {
        return [
            'persons'   => 'app\tests\fixtures\PersonFixture',
        ];
    }

    public function testUser() {
        $person1 = $this->tester->grabFixture('persons', 'person1');
        $this->assertEquals(1, $person1->id);
    }

}

That's it.

You have to be using yii2-codeception extension which would autoload fixtures for you.

After installing it you would have class yii\codeception\DbTestCase available, PersonTest should extend it.

Person fixture should have namespace as follows: app\tests\fixtures.
