Changelog

2.2.1

• PHPUnit 5.4 and PHPUnit/php-code-coverage 4.0 compatibility.

2.2.0

• Gherkin format support. Announcement

  • Breaking Cept/Cest classes are no longer extending PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase, so they don't have expectException, getMock, etc.
  • Reduced stack trace for scenario-driven test formats. Codeception tests implement PHPUnit_Framework_Test instead of extending heavy PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase class.
• Breaking Conflicts API implemented Frameworks + PhpBrowser + WebDriver can't be used together unless only non-conflicting part is used. Announcement
• Examples as an alternative to Data Providers. Announcement
• Params loading from yml, env files or environment. Announcement
