Hello. I have to set shared config value in acceptance tests for Glue. Added the config helper. But $i->setConfig('bla', false) doesn't work. Someone knows a workaround maybe?

    Acceptance tests are basically browser clicking

    you can't set config (or access DB etc.) when doing acceptance tests

    Well, the thing is, the check of config variable happens in the glue layer. So, there is no way to write Glue tests for true/false scenarios, thats sad.

    you can write the test, just not the acceptance test where you will modify the config before running the test like you can with functional or unit tests

    Thought that as well. Didnt find any "inspiration" in vendor for that. All Glue tests seem to be acceptance ones

    Question is do you want to test if glue works or if the logic that glue layer is calling works

    I have to test that if a config var is false, the actions in related Glue bundle dont proceed with resource creation, but just give a response "resource not enabled". As I said, this all happens in Glue, before any client---zed calls take place, as they shouldnt. So, to your question - its first variant.

    This still sounds to me like mixing functional and acceptance tests

    • Set/mock config to true/false and check the response code (403) or client response (whatever) - sounds like functional test
    • Execute external commands against glue and validate json - is acceptance tests. In this case, all your environment (including config you mention) must be already in place and running. So no way to change it in acceptance test.

    To understand the acceptance test, imagine you’re sitting in front of the browser w/o any access to the code. You can click around and verify results (message appear, image visible, et).

    @UKJSE6T47 Thank you, I know, that ACs are for "click on the browser" and its with functional tests to proceed here. I just ask myself, why there are no func tests for Glue in vendor. Because the actual case I have is just about it, actually. I need to set the config value inside a test and then call a glue action. And all logic I want to test resides inside Glue as well.
