Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `basic` is the directory
directly under the Web root.
~~~
http://localhost/basic/web/
~~~
### Install from an Archive File
Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to
a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root.
Set cookie validation key in `config/web.php` file to some random secret string:
```php
'request'=>[
// !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
'cookieValidationKey'=>'<secret random string goes here>',
],
```
You can then access the application through the following URL:
~~~
http://localhost/basic/web/
~~~
### Install with Docker
Update your vendor packages
docker-compose run --rm php composer update --prefer-dist
Run the installation triggers (creating cookie validation code)
docker-compose run --rm php composer install
Start the container
docker-compose up -d
You can then access the application through the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000
**NOTES:**
- Minimum required Docker engine version `17.04` for development (see [Performance tuning for volume mounts](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/))
- The default configuration uses a host-volume in your home directory `.docker-composer` for composer caches
CONFIGURATION
-------------
### Database
Edit the file `config/db.php` with real data, for example:
```php
return[
'class'=>'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn'=>'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
'username'=>'root',
'password'=>'1234',
'charset'=>'utf8',
];
```
**NOTES:**
- Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
- Check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application as required.
- Refer to the README in the `tests` directory for information specific to basic application tests.
TESTING
-------
Tests are located in `tests` directory. They are developed with [Codeception PHP Testing Framework](http://codeception.com/).
By default, there are 3 test suites:
-`unit`
-`functional`
-`acceptance`
Tests can be executed by running
```
vendor/bin/codecept run
```
The command above will execute unit and functional tests. Unit tests are testing the system components, while functional
tests are for testing user interaction. Acceptance tests are disabled by default as they require additional setup since
they perform testing in real browser.
### Running acceptance tests
To execute acceptance tests do the following:
1. Rename `tests/acceptance.suite.yml.example` to `tests/acceptance.suite.yml` to enable suite configuration
2. Replace `codeception/base` package in `composer.json` with `codeception/codeception` to install full-featured
version of Codeception
3. Update dependencies with Composer
```
composer update
```
4. Download [Selenium Server](http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/) and launch it:
```
java -jar ~/selenium-server-standalone-x.xx.x.jar
```
In case of using Selenium Server 3.0 with Firefox browser since v48 or Google Chrome since v53 you must download [GeckoDriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) or [ChromeDriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads) and launch Selenium with it:
