I have setup Codeception and Laravel 5 to work. And they work.
But now, I want to run codeception with a testing database, not local.
So in functional.suite.yml I have:
functional.suite.yml
class_name: FunctionalTester modules: enabled: [Filesystem, FunctionalHelper, Laravel5] config: Laravel5: environment_file: .env.testing
And that works. It loads the values from .env.testing and runs test on testing database.
.env.testing
The problem now is that I want to migrate the testing database before running the tests.
I do php artisan migrate --env=testing but that migrates my local database specified in .env file.
php artisan migrate --env=testing
.env
Is there a way to migrate a database different from one specified in .env ?
