Question

I am writing an API using Laravel and Codeception as my testing framework.

I am having trouble getting Codeception to come back with a response code that I can pick up from Codeception as well as a JSON response.

I've written a simple test to get a list of users from a GET request.

The test is as follows:

$I = new ApiGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo("access API methods if I'm authenticated as a User");

$I->sendGET('users');

$I->seeResponseIsJson();
$I->seeResponseCodeIs(200);

I can see the results coming though ok, just cant seem to get the response code.

The route that generates the response is as follows:

Route::get('users', function() {

    $users = User::all();
    return Response::json($users->toArray(), 200);
});

The response from Codeception is:

Modules: PhpBrowser, REST, ApiHelper, Laravel4, Db, Filesystem

Sorry, I couldn't see response code is 200:

Solution

After following the code and looking at all instances of seeResponseCodeIs, realised it was executing the 'Framework' version. Took out the Laravel4 module and it now works!
