This happens to me in a real CodeIgniter project in the Ion Auth authentication library , but for clarity, I have reduced it to its simplest form.
script:
I have one line of script located at http://localhost/~captbaritone/redirect/index.php :
<?php header("Refresh:0;url=https://google.com");¬
In my browser, it redirects to Google.com.
Test:
To test this, I wrote this acceptance test:
<?php $I = new WebGuy($scenario); $I->wantTo('Redirect to Google.com'); $I->amOnPage('/index.php'); $I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('https://www.google.com/');
My acceptance.suite.yml as follows:
class_name: WebGuy modules: enabled: - PhpBrowser - WebHelper config: PhpBrowser: url: 'http://localhost/~captbaritone/redirect/'

My question is:
Obviously, PhpBrowser is not subject to redirection. Changing the redirection to the location header allows me to pass the test, but I do not want (cannot) change my application according to the set of tests.
Is this a bug in Codeception? In phpbrowser? (I don’t quite understand where to start, and another starts, or if PhpBrowser is even a separate project.) Or maybe this is a functionality that I should not expect from a headless browser?
I must report that this is my first experience with a test suite.
