README

Create database dumps ready to be used with Codeception

Codeception comes with a nice Db module that keeps the test database clean before each test is run. To use it you are expected to put a database dump in tests/_data directory. This is a major pain, because each time the database changes, a new dump is required. This package adds a single command to your project that will migrate, seed and dump a test database making it ready to be used in Codeception tests.

Installation

Install through composer:

composer require antennaio/laravel-codeception-dbdump:~0.0.1

Add the service provider to config:

// config/app.php
'provider' => [
    ...
    Antennaio\Codeception\DbDumpServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

Usage

Run the command with a single argument connection, which is one of the connections defined in config/database.php.

php artisan codeception:dbdump connection

Optionally, you can specify a path to the dump file:

php artisan codeception:dbdump connection --dump=tests/_data/test.sql

All available options:

Run the command whenever your tests run

It's possible to have this command run automatically before any of your tests are executed by adding it to tests/_bootstrap.php:

exec('php artisan codeception:dbdump connection');

Compatibility

The codeception:dbdump command is currently compatible with MySQL and SQLite drivers.
