Testing Console Commands

The Console module provides a ConsoleHelper to simplify testing console commands using Codeception.

Using ConsoleHelper

The ConsoleHelper wraps your console command in a CommandTester instance, which allows you to execute the command programmatically and inspect its output and exit code.

Basic Usage

use Codeception\Test\Unit;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Tester\CommandTester;
use Spryker\Zed\YourModule\Communication\Plugin\Console\YourConsoleCommand;

class YourConsoleCommandTest extends Unit
{
    protected YourModuleTester $tester;

    public function testExecutesSuccessfully(): void
    {
        // Arrange
        $command = new YourConsoleCommand();
        $commandTester = $this->tester->getConsoleTester($command);

        // Act
        $commandTester->execute([]);

        // Assert
        $this->assertSame(YourConsoleCommand::CODE_SUCCESS, $commandTester->getStatusCode());
        $this->assertStringContainsString('Expected output', $commandTester->getDisplay());
    }
}

Passing Arguments and Options

The execute() method accepts an array of input parameters where:

• Arguments are passed by name: ['argumentName' => 'value']
• Options are passed with the -- prefix: ['--option-name' => 'value']

public function testExecutesWithArguments(): void
{
    // Arrange
    $command = new YourConsoleCommand();
    $commandTester = $this->tester->getConsoleTester($command);

    // Act
    $commandTester->execute([
        'entityId' => 123,
        '--format' => 'json',
        '--verbose' => true,
    ]);

    // Assert
    $this->assertSame(YourConsoleCommand::CODE_SUCCESS, $commandTester->getStatusCode());
}

Execution Options

The execute() method accepts a second parameter for execution options:

$commandTester->execute(
    ['--option' => 'value'],
    [
        'interactive' => false,
        'decorated' => false,
        'verbosity' => OutputInterface::VERBOSITY_VERBOSE,
        'capture_stderr_separately' => true,
    ]
);

Available execution options:

• interactive: Sets the input interactive flag
• decorated: Sets the output decorated flag
• verbosity: Sets the output verbosity level
• capture_stderr_separately: Make output of standard output and standard error separately available

Inspecting Command Output

After execution, you can inspect the command results:

$commandTester->execute([]);

$exitCode = $commandTester->getStatusCode();
$output = $commandTester->getDisplay();
$input = $commandTester->getInput();

Testing Exception Cases

public function testThrowsExceptionWhenFileNotFound(): void
{
    // Expect
    $this->expectException(FileNotFoundException::class);

    // Act
    $command = new YourConsoleCommand();
    $commandTester = $this->tester->getConsoleTester($command);
    $commandTester->execute([
        '--file' => 'invalid-file-path',
    ]);
}

Helper Configuration

Ensure the ConsoleHelper is configured in your codeception.yml:

modules:
    enabled:
        - \SprykerTest\Shared\Console\Helper\ConsoleHelper
