Installation

Composer:

This project is published in packagist, so you just need to add it as a dependency in your composer.json:

    "require-dev": {
        "mcustiel/phiremock-codeception-extension": "*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"

NOTE Phiremock uses a dev-master version of react/http to work. Because of this, until reactphp guys tag a new version you will need to set your project's minimum stability to dev.

How to use

Extension

The extension provides an easy way to start a Phiremock server with configured host, port, debug mode and logs path.

Configuration

In codeception.yml you will need to enable Phiremock extension and configure it in a proper way:

extensions:
    enabled:
        - \Codeception\Extension\Phiremock
    config:
        \Codeception\Extension\Phiremock:
            listen: 127.0.0.1:18080 # defaults to 0.0.0.0:8086
            bin_path: ../vendor/bin # defaults to codeception_dir/../vendor/bin 
            logs_path: /var/log/my_app/tests/logs # defaults to codeception's tests output dir
            debug: true # defaults to false
            startDelay: 1 # default to 0
            expectations_path: /my/expectations/path

Note: Since Codeception version 2.2.7, extensions configuration can be added directly in the suite configuration file. That will avoid phiremock to be started for every suite.

Phiremock uses annotations internally. To be able to run the extension, the annotations autoloader must be activated. To do this, you must add the next lines in the bootstrap file where you include your composer autoloader:

$loader = require APP_ROOT . '/vendor/autoload.php';
\Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader([$loader, 'loadClass']);

Parameters

  • listen: Specifies the interface and port where phiremock must listen for requests
  • bin_path: Path where Phiremock "binary" is located
  • logs_path: Path where to write the output
  • debug: Where to write debug data to log files
  • startDelay: Time to wait after Phiremock was started to start running the tests (used to give time to Phiremock to boot)
  • expectations_path: Specifies a directory to search for json files defining expectations to load by default.

Module

The module allows you to connect to a Phiremock server and to interact with it in a semantic way through the codeception actor in your tests.

Configuration

You need to enable Phiremock module in your suite's configuration file:

modules:
    enabled:
        - Phiremock:
            host: 127.0.0.1
            port: 18080
            resetBeforeEachTest: false # if set to true, executes `$I->haveACleanSetupInRemoteService` before each test.

Use

The module provides the following handy methods to communicate with Phiremock server:

expectARequestToRemoteServiceWithAResponse

Allows you to setup an expectation in Phiremock, specifying the expected request and the response the server should give for it:

    $I->expectARequestToRemoteServiceWithAResponse(
        Phiremock::on(
            A::getRequest()->andUrl(Is::equalTo('/some/url'))
        )->then(
            Respond::withStatusCode(203)->andBody('I am a response')
        )
    );

haveACleanSetupInRemoteService

Cleans the server of all configured expectations, scenarios and requests history, and reloads expectation files.

    $I->haveACleanSetupInRemoteService();

dontExpectRequestsInRemoteService

Cleans all previously configured expectations and requests history.

    $I->dontExpectRequestsInRemoteService();

haveCleanScenariosInRemoteService

Cleans the state of all scenarios (sets all of them to inital state).

    $I->haveCleanScenariosInRemoteService();

seeRemoteServiceReceived

Allows you to verify that the server received a request a given amount of times. This request could or not be previously set up as an expectation.

    $I->seeRemoteServiceReceived(1, A::getRequest()->andUrl(Is::equalTo('/some/url')));

didNotReceiveRequestsInRemoteService

Resets the requests counter for the verifier in Phiremock.

    $I->didNotReceiveRequestsInRemoteService();

Use case

Yii2-Curl

Yii2-Curl uses phiremock-codeception-extension for functional testing. You can see the configuration for the extension and the module, as well as how Phiremock is configured in the tests.
