Gherkin Steps and additional module functions for the Codeception Database module

How to use

Extended module

Use the module PunktDe\Codeception\Database\Module\Database instead of the default codeception module db in your codeception.yaml:

modules:
 enabled:
 - PunktDe\Codeception\Database\Module\Database:
 dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb'
 user: 'root'
 password: ''
 dump: 'tests/_data/dump.sql'
 populate: true
 cleanup: true
 reconnect: true
 waitlock: 10
 ssl_key: '/path/to/client-key.pem'
 ssl_cert: '/path/to/client-cert.pem'
 ssl_ca: '/path/to/ca-cert.pem'
 ssl_verify_server_cert: false
 ssl_cipher: 'AES256-SHA'
 initial_queries:
 - 'CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS temp_db;'
 - 'USE temp_db;'
 - 'SET NAMES utf8;'

Gherkin steps

Just add the trait PunktDe\Codeception\Database\ActorTraits\Database to your testing actor. Then you can use *.feature files to write your gherkin tests with the new steps.

Example actor

<?php

/**

class AcceptanceTester extends \Codeception\Actor
{
 use _generated\AcceptanceTesterActions;
 use \PunktDe\Codeception\Database\ActorTraits\Database; // use the database steps trait
}

Which steps are there?

To get all the steps available you can just run the following command:

vendor/bin/codecept -c path/to/codeception.yaml gherkin:steps suiteName

This will give you a table of all the steps available.
