Codeception Config Helper

This is a general Codeception helper that allows you to retrieve and use values from your YAML config in your tests. The original use case was to retrieve site login details from the config file instead of hardcoding them in test suites.

Installation

• Copy the ConfigHelper.php file into tests/_helpers/
• Update your suite YAML file to enable the module (See example below)
• Run codecept.phar build to apply this to your suite

Usage

• Add config values to your config file as required, e.g.

class_name: WebGuy
modules:
    enabled:
        - PhpBrowser
        - WebHelper
        - ConfigHelper
    config:
        PhpBrowser:
            url: 'http://<your-test-site>/'
        ConfigHelper:
            login_username: username
            login_password: password

• Access the values from your test scripts, e.g.

$I->fillField('signin[username]', $I->getConfig('login_username'));
