Unknown method ApiTester::sendGet with Codeception

Question

I'm trying to setup some Codeception tests to test an API that I'm building but I seem to be doing something wrong.

Following a tutorial* I have run php codecept.phar generate:suite api which creates the ./tests/api.suite.yml file which looks like this:

class_name: ApiTester
    modules:
        enabled:
            - \Helper\Api

I modified this file to be the same as the one in the tutorial (adding my URL) like this:

class_name: ApiTester
    modules:
        enabled:
          - REST:
              url: http://serviceapp/api/v1/
              depends: PhpBrowser

And then generate a test script generate:cept api ReadUser and add my tests such as

<?php 

$I = new ApiTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('perform actions and see result');
$I->sendGet('/user/1');

However when I run the test I get the error Call to undefined method ApiTester::sendGet

What do I need to add to have methods like sendGet, sendPost and all the others available?

The Codeception version is 2.1.5

Fixed: I removed the tests directory and started again and it is working now. Not sure what is different. Yii2 build the tests path initially so maybe it did something different.

Have you enabled the PhpBrowser module? – Naktibalda Jan 06 '16 at 10:43 — Naktibalda, Jan 06 '16 at 10:43

It's important to pay attention to upper and lower case writing. The name of the method is $I->sendGET() (uppercase GET).

Try this

<?php 

  $I = new ApiTester($scenario);
  $I->wantTo('perform actions and see result');
  $I->sendGET('/user/1');

Function and method names are case insensitive in PHP. – Naktibalda Jan 06 '16 at 10:45
