Codeception's see () method with Yii2 does not display the entire content of the page

Navigation
0

Hello! I'm testing a PHP system (7.2.1) that uses the Yii2 framework, and for that, by default I'm using codeception.

When writing functional tests, several methods are not working as expected. Among them is the see () method that should fetch text passed as a parameter on the specified page. In my case the see () method searches only the side menu of the application, not the page as a whole.

I would like help to try to solve this error, I already researched the framework documentation but could not find anything related to my problem.

Following is the code for the functional tests I wrote and the error displayed on the console.

Test class: 

<?php

use app\models\Usuario;

class FirstTryLoginCest
{

    public function _before(\FunctionalTester $I)
    {
        $I->amOnRoute('site/login');
    }

    public function submitFormSuccessfully(\FunctionalTester $I)
    {
        $I->submitForm('#login-form', [
            '#usuario-username' => 'Fulano',
            '#usuario-password' => '12345678'
        ]);
        $I->see('Mural');
    }

    public function internalLoginByInstance(\FunctionalTester $I)
    {
        $admin = \app\models\Usuario::findOne(33);
        $I->amLoggedInAs($admin);
        $I->amOnPage('gestor/mural');
        $I->see('Fulano');
    }

}

Error displayed on console:

You are testing your login page with a functional test class, but the correct one, according to the Codeception documentation, is to use the acceptance class ( \ AcceptanceTests ).

Site example: 

<?php
class BasicCest
{
    // test
    public function tryToTest(\AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->amOnPage('/');
        $I->click('Login');
        $I->fillField('username', 'john');
        $I->fillField('password', 'coltrane');
        $I->click('Enter');
        $I->see('Hello, John');
        $I->seeInCurrentUrl('/account');
    }
}
