HTTP Mock VS Codeception

Internations.org

I have been a member of a group called Internations and have used it for support on less serious things. It's also good for networking and career stuff. https://www.internations.org/

Communities: Join one or more. It will keep you busy and entertained. The ones I have know of are InterNations and Qatar Tweetups. Unsure how active they are now. Find your people. Almost all nationalities have associations/groups here in Qatar.

Istanbul is actually a lot of cities. It takes more than 3 hours from one end to the other end. What really matters is what you want to do in İstanbul. A place close to forests, straits, nightlife, culture, etc. The second important thing is your budget. If you want to close nature, Sariyer is a good option. If you want to party a lot, you must consider Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş or Kadıköy. Except some neighborhoods, even I can't go, İstanbul is a very safe and dynamic city and you'll be very happy if you are young or love historic places. I think you'll get better answers in www.internations.org

Join Internations. It is an organization for ex-pats to meet others when they move. There is a Calgary chapter. After you join you can attend events (once you’re here), and in the meantime you can see online what other Calgary based members came from Argentina.

https://www.internations.org Many expats use this site for local group meetups and events. Give it a shot.

Check out InterNations.org it’s a community for expats connecting all over the world via local chapters. I hear the Vienna chapter is pretty active. Haven’t been myself in years though

Personal experience: - don’t use Behat unless you really needed a “story telling”, it has a intermediate layer Gherkin that you’ll need to code. You can write “Given/When/Then” steps but you’ll also need to write “php code” that will interpret this step. - using real browser be prepared for instability - any interaction with JavaScript can broken/delay execution - be prepared that this tests are call functional they are the most expensive test, so start small unit then integration and only then functional. - use https://github.com/symfony/panther or https://codeception.com/ you’ll have phpunit alike interface to run them. - you’ll need to reset state of your database each time to provide “isolation” and stability

I would say to check out Codeception. Codeceptions has modules for Symfony and database generally. Long and short of it is that if you want you can run api tests that go into the controllers and rollback the database afterwards.

There are enough blog posts about Jest or Cypress already, so let me introduce Codecept. It comes in two flavors. There is Codeception for PHP, and there is CodeceptJS for JavaScript which we will be using here.

There are many tools you can use for this purpose, but one I particularly like is CodeCeption. What I like most about it is that it's a unified tool that can be used to perform several types of tests, acceptance being one of them.

This is a quote from this year's new Testify T-Shirt, my physical takeway from this event. While I don't agree that we should automate everything we can, I still chose this design as it shows Codeception code.

And within the Symfony ecosystem Codeception, which “collects and shares best practices and solutions for testing PHP web applications. With a flexible set of included modules tests are easy to write, easy to use, and easy to maintain.”
