If needed, provide a path to config file with --config option:

npx codecept run --config tests/codecept.conf.js

WebServer Mode

Run CodeceptUI as a web server (recommended for headless mode, remote debug):

npx codecept-ui

Open http://localhost:3333 to see all tests and run them.

CodeceptUI requires two ports HTTP and WebSocket.

HTTP Port = 3333
WebSocket Port = 2999

Default HTTP port is 3333. You can change the port by specifying it to --port option:

npx codecept-ui --app --port=3000

Default WebSocket port is 2999. You can change the port by specifying it to --wsPort option:

Development

See CONTRIBUTING.md

Start CodeceptUI with debug output

codepress uses the debug package to output debug information. This is useful to troubleshoot problems or just to see what codepress is doing. To turn on debug information do

  # verbose: get all debug information
  DEBUG=codepress:* npx codecept-ui 

  # just get debug output of one module
  DEBUG=codepress:codeceptjs-factory npx codecept-ui
