Why there is a folder tests in a root of yii2 framework?

It is basic template. I use this command to generate test file and run:

$ ./vendor/bin/codecept generate:test unit Example
$ ./vendor/bin/codecept run

This file appears in folder /vendor/bin/tests/unit. I can't push this file to GitHub. Why test files appear in vendor folder? What Should I do to make test files save in tests folder in the root of the project?

You will need to debug your paths and resolve the config issue that is causing this.

The path used is set on line 45 of file: vendor/codeception/base/src/Codeception/Command/GenerateTest.php

There you will see this code, which creates the new directory:

$path = $this->createDirectoryFor($config['path'], $class);

The value of $config['path'] is determined in method suiteSettings, line 285 in file vendor/codeception/base/src/Codeception/Configuration.php

Here you will see this code, which sets the path for the config:

    $settings['path'] = self::$dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $config['paths']['tests']
        . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $settings['path'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

Add the following code before these 2 lines:

    echo 'self::$dir ' . print_r(self::$dir, true) . PHP_EOL;
    echo '$config[paths][tests] ' . print_r($config['paths']['tests'], true) . PHP_EOL;
    echo '$settings[path] ' . print_r($settings['path'], true) . PHP_EOL;
    exit;

Now, run your command again to execute this debug code:

./vendor/bin/codecept generate:test unit Example

For my setup, which is generating tests in <system_root>/public_html/basic/tests/unit/ExampleTest.php from the same commands as you, I see the following:

  • self::$dir => <system_root>/public_html/basic
  • $config[paths][tests] => tests
  • $settings[path] => unit

OBSERVATION - From your comment I see that your codeception.yml file is correct with default values for various testing subdirectories.

RECOMMENDATIONS

$config[paths][tests] appears to be wrong in your case - debug this and resolve the path config based on your findings.

Note that there is a core codeception.yml in the vendor package and also there should be one in your app root, i.e.

  • <system_root>/public_html/basic/vendor/codeception/base/codeception.yml

  • <system_root>/public_html/basic/codeception.yml

Values in the latter take precedence!
