Codecepetion Acceptance Test with self signed SSL

Question

I am trying to login to my app using WebGuy. I created a Cept file MergeCompaniesCept.php with contents:

$I = new WebGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('login into admin, merge companies, & verify data');
$I->amOnPage('/login.php');
$I->fillField("username","name");
$I->fillField("password","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
$I->click("LOGIN");

But I get the following error:

[Codeception\Exception\ModuleConfig]

I thought the issue was related to self signed cert and the use of curl without -k, so I made the following change to WebHelper

<?php
namespace Codeception\Module;

class WebHelper extends \Codeception\Module\PhpBrowser {
    public function _initialize() {
        $client = new \Behat\Mink\Driver\Goutte\Client();
        $driver = new \Behat\Mink\Driver\GoutteDriver($client);
        $client->setClient(new \Guzzle\Http\Client('', array(
            'curl.CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER' => false,
            'curl.CURLOPT_CERTINFO'       => false
        ))); 
        $this->session = new \Behat\Mink\Session($driver);
        parent::_initialize();
    }
}

However, the same error still persists.

Any help here would be much appreciated!

Update

The following changes finally fixed the issue:

<?php
namespace Codeception\Module;

class WebHelper extends \Codeception\Module\PhpBrowser {
    public function _initialize() {
        $client = new \Behat\Mink\Driver\Goutte\Client();
        $driver = new \Behat\Mink\Driver\GoutteDriver($client);
        $client->setClient(new \Guzzle\Http\Client('', array(
        //'curl.CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER' => false,
        //'curl.CURLOPT_CERTINFO'       => false
        'ssl.certificate_authority' => false
        ))); 
        $this->session = new \Behat\Mink\Session($driver);
        //parent::_initialize();
    }
}

Answer 1

Use the ssl.certificate_authority option:

$client = new Client($baseUrl, [
    'ssl.certificate_authority' => false,
]);

Answer 2

Try the following:

capabilities:
              acceptSslCerts: true
              acceptInsecureCerts: true

at acceptance.suite.yml
