Codeception Redirects Module

Uses the REST module to check URLs for Location response headers and 301 HTTP Status response codes, or redirects between protocols.

Handy for checking that .htaccess or other methods of web page redirects have been set up correctly.

If test fails stores last shown page in output dir.

Status

• Maintainer: GaryJones
• Stability: alpha
• Contact: https://gamajo.com

Please review the code of non-stable modules and provide patches if you have issues.

Configuration

None, but ensure that the REST module is enabled and has a url set.

Example (acceptance.suite.yml)

modules:
    enabled:
        - Redirects
        - REST:
            url: 'http://localhost'

Example Usage

301 Permanent Redirects

Here's a Cest which checks 301 redirects. We turn off automatic following of redirects in the Symfony Browserkit client, so that it doesn't just follow the redirects to the final destination.

<?php

use Codeception\Example;

class RedirectsCest {
    /**
     * @var AcceptanceTester
     */
    protected $I;

    public function _before( AcceptanceTester $I ) {
        $this->I = $I;
    }

    /**
     * @example(old="content/abou", new="about-us")
     * @example(old="content/abou/over.php", new="about-us/company-overview")
     * @example(old="content/abou/miss.php", new="about-us/top-third-mission")
     * @example(old="content/abou/exec.php", new="about-us/executive-team")
     * @example(old="content/abou/team.php", new="about-us/risk-management-specialists")
     *
     * @group redirects
     * @group redirectsabout
     */
    public function redirectOldAboutUrlsToAboutUsPages( AcceptanceTester $I, Example $example ) {
        $this->testIfOldRedirectsToNew($example['old'], $example['new']);
    }

    /**
     * @example(old="content/myac/index.php", new="my-account")
     * @example(old="content/myac/stat.php", new="my-account/account-statements-explained")
     * @example(old="content/myac/depo.php", new="my-account/deposits-withdrawals")
     * @example(old="content/myac/wire.php", new="wire-instructions-r-j-obrien")
     *
     * @group redirects
     * @group redirectsmyaccount
     */
    public function redirectOldMyAccountUrlsToNewMyAccountPages( AcceptanceTester $I, Example $example ) {
        $this->testIfOldRedirectsToNew( $example['old'], $example['new'] );
    }

    private function testIfOldRedirectsToNew($old, $new, $checkDestination = true) {
        $this->I->seePermanentRedirectBetween($old, $new);
        if ($checkDestinationExists) {
            $this->I->urlDoesNotRedirect($new);
        }

        // Check old URL with trailing slash also redirects.
        if (
            '/' !== substr($old, -1) &&
            false === strpos( strrev($old), strrev('.php')) &&
            false === strpos( strrev($old), strrev('.pdf')) &&
            false === strpos( $old, '?')
        ) {
            $old .= '/';
            $this->testIfOldRedirectsToNew($old, $new, $checkDestinationExists);
        }
    }
}

Grouping the tests like these mean you can run individual groups of tests more easily:

vendor/bin/codecept run --env=staging --group=redirectsmyaccount

307 Temporary Redirects

The above example code also applies to checking for 307 Temporary Redirect, except the seeTemporaryRedirectBetween() method is used instead of seePermanentRedirectBetween().

Protocol Redirects

Here's a Cest which checks protocol redirects, to see if a URL is forced to be served as http:// or https://.

<?php

use Page\ProfileCalendar;
use Page\ProfileContactInformation;
use Page\ProfileMyProducts;
use Step\Acceptance\Login;

class ProtocolRedirectsCest
{
    /**
     * @group protocolRedirects
     */
    public function forceHttp(Login $I)
    {
        $I->wantTo('check forced redirects to HTTP are working.');
        $I->seeHttpProtocolAlwaysUsedFor(ProfileCalendar::$URL);
    }

    /**
     * @group protocolRedirects
     */
    public function forceHttps(Login $I)
    {
        $I->wantTo('check forced redirects to HTTPS are working.');
        $I->seeHttpsProtocolAlwaysUsedFor(ProfileContactInformation::$URL);
        $I->seeHttpsProtocolAlwaysUsedFor(ProfileMyProducts::$URL);
    }
}

Public API

Methods expected to be used in Cepts and Cests.

followRedirects

Sets whether to automatically follow redirects or not.

$I->followRedirects(false);

• param bool $followRedirects

  Whether to follow automatic redirects or not. Default behaviour is true, so most times you'll want to pass in false for 301 redirects tests. Other methods in this package already call this as needed.

seeRedirectBetween

Check that the specified HTTP Status is returned with the correct Location URL. Fails if either is missing, or Location header value does not match the $url. Automatically avoids following redirects.

$I->seeRedirectBetween('company/financial-strength-and-security.cfm', 'company/financial-security', 302);

• param $oldUrl

  Relative or absolute URL that should be redirected.

• param $newUrl

  Relative or absolute URL of redirect destination.

• param $statusCode

  HTTP status code to check for.

seePermanentRedirectBetween

A convenience method to check that a 301 HTTP Status is returned with the correct Location URL. Fails if either is missing, or Location header value does not match the $url. Automatically avoids following redirects.

$I->seePermanentRedirectBetween('company/financial-strength-and-security.cfm', 'company/financial-security');

• param $oldUrl

  Relative or absolute URL that should be redirected.

• param $newUrl

  Relative or absolute URL of redirect destination.

seeTemporaryRedirectBetween

A convenience method to check that a 307 HTTP Status is returned with the correct Location URL. Fails if either is missing, or Location header value does not match the $url. Automatically avoids following redirects.

$I->seeTemporaryRedirectBetween('company/financial-strength-and-security.cfm', 'company/financial-security');

• param $oldUrl

  Relative or absolute URL that should be redirected.

• param $newUrl

  Relative or absolute URL of redirect destination.

urlDoesNotRedirect

Check that a 200 HTTP Status is returned and the URL has no redirects. Allows the possibility of following redirects.

$I->urlDoesNotRedirect('company/financial-security');

• param $url

  Absolute or relative (to REST config url) URL.

seeHttpProtocolAlwaysUsedFor

Check that a 200 HTTP Status is eventually returned with the HTTP protocol. Follows redirects automatically.

$I->seePermanentRedirectToHttpFor('insecure-page');

• param $url

  Absolute or relative (to REST config url) URL.

seePermanentRedirectToHttpsFor

Check that a 200 HTTP Status is eventually returned with the HTTPS protocol. Follows redirects automatically.

$I->seePermanentRedirectToHttpsFor('contact-us');

• param $url

  Absolute or relative (to REST config url) URL.
