Codeception environment configuration not working - configuration

Question

Codeception: Configuration file(s) placed in tests/_envs are not working. I am trying to run my acceptance tests in multiple environments (ex. dev, qa, staging, prod). So I have setup dev.yml, qa.yml, staging.yml and prod.yml files under tests/_env directory. Each of those separate environment I am overriding the WebDriver - url.
file - dev.yml
modules:
config:
WebDriver:
url: 'dev.mysite.local'
Then when I try to run the acceptance test suite using one of the environment, ex
./vendor/bin/codecept run acceptance --env dev
It doesn’t pull in the dev configuration, but instead uses the default configuration from acceptance.suite.yml file. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

There is a bug in the codeception/configuration.php file where a wrong regular expression has been used, which prevents .yml file from being loaded. However, dist.yml files loads just fine. They have already pushed a change for this bug.
In case you don't have this changeset, you can manually change it on your codeception/configuration.php file or simply use the dist.yml extension.
Wrong regex:
$envFiles = Finder::create()
->files()
->name('*{.dist}.yml')
->in($path)
->depth('< 1');
Correction:
$envFiles = Finder::create()
->files()
->name('*.yml')
->in($path)
->depth('< 1');
