Commands

The project comes with its own set of custom Codeception commands.
The commands provide functionalities to quickly scaffold different types of tests. Any other codecept command remains intact and available.
Adding the commands to an existing project
The commands are added to the main Codeception configuration file, codeception.yml, when scaffolding a project via the codecept init wp-browser command.
They can be added to any existing project adding, or editing, the commands section of the configuration file:
extensions:
    commands:
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPUnit"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPRestApi"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPRestController"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPRestPostTypeController"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPAjax"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPCanonical"
        - "Codeception\\Command\\GenerateWPXMLRPC"
Generation commands
The library provides commands to quickly scaffold integration test cases for specific types of WordPress components, see levels of testing for more information.
The tests are almost identical to the ones you could write in a PHPUnit based Core suite with the exception of extending the Codeception\TestCase\WPTestCase test case.
generate:wpunit
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wpunit suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wprest
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestApiTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wprest suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestApiTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wprestcontroller
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestControllerTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wprest suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestControllerTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wprestposttypecontroller
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestPostTypeControllerTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wprest suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPRestPostTypeControllerTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wpajax
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPAjaxTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wpajax suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPAjaxTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wpxmlrpc
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPXMLRPCTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wpxmlrpc suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPXMLRPCTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
generate:wpcanonical
Generates a test case extending the \Codeception\TestCase\WPCanonicalTestCase class using the
  codecept generate:wpcanonical suite SomeClass
The command will generate a skeleton test case like
<?php
​
class SomeClassTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\WPCanonicalTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
      parent::setUp();
    }
​
    public function tearDown()
    {
      parent::tearDown();
    }
​
    // tests
    public function testMe()
    {
    }
​
}
