Yii variables in Codeception 1.8 tests

Question

i've been wondering if there is a way to use constants/variables from Yii in codeception tests (cests and/or cepts).

Im talking about Yii::app()->... or some properties from the Yii models.

Im using yii 1.14 and codeception 1.8

@DanilaGanchar That won't work as i need to call Yii from inside the codeception tests, not the other way around. — Jordashiro

as I understand, you want in codeception tests use Yii components? Is it right? — Danila Ganchar

I have not worked with codeception. How you start tests? From console? — Danila Ganchar

Yes, tests are started from the console. Here is an example: ProjectRoot > php common\vendors\codeception\codecept.phar run api -c api/protected/codeception.yml — Jordashiro

Turned out you can load yii (the same way its loaded in your index file) in _bootstrap.php, you just don't need to call Yii::app()->run(); at the end of it.

Not sure if its the correct way, but so far thats the only working way i know of.
