Check new page after login

[pir1981]

Hi, I just set up my first codeception WebDriver with Chrome and wrote my first tests. I got a click on a link and test for the newly loaded page work, but I can't get it to work, when there is a login with a button in between. I have tried two different ways, but I always end up back at superlogin.php

html, if successful should take me to index.html

 <form method="post" id="superlogin">
    <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="User">
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
    <button type="submit" class="bt_md" value="Login">Login</button>
 </form>

codeception

        $I->amGoingTo('log in correctly');
        $I->amOnPage('/superlogin.php');
        $I->submitForm('#superlogin', [
                'username' => 'name',
                'password' => 'somepassword'
        ]);

// $I->fillField('username','name');
// $I->fillField('password','somepassword');
// $I->click(['xpath' => "//form[@id='superlogin']/button[@type='submit']"]);

          $I->wait(5);
          $I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('/index.php');

but the last aways states that the test didn't work and that I am still on superlogin.php

by the way, if I do a screenshot after fillField, should I see the text in the fields? Because I do not. A check of the fields with seeInField passes.

Thanks

You form has no action attribute.
Form without actions submits to the same URL.

I have the action in my php script

if($userName && $password){
   $_SESSION['superUser'] = $userName; 
   $_SESSION['superPass'] = $password; 
   header('Location: index.php');
}

Do I have to set the session manually. I expected it to be handled by the WebDriver automatically.

Do you return error message if username or password is empty?
If you do, add dontSee condition after wait()

One possibility is that you have another username or password field (or both) earlier in the page and it gets filled instead.

You can use a more precise xpath condition instead of fieldname to make sure that you fill the right field:

No, I do not return any error message (on purpose, to avoid unauthorized access).

given that I fill it with id, and the form has only those two fields, there is no mix up possible

but just in case here with fillField

            $I->fillField("//form[@id='superlogin']/input[@name='username']",'user1');
            $I->seeInField(['name' => 'username'],'user1');
            $I->fillField("//form[@id='superlogin']/input[@name='password']",'password1');
            $I->seeInField(['name' => 'password'],'password1');
            $I->click(['xpath' => "//form[@id='superlogin']/button[@type='submit']"]);


            $I->wait(5);
            $I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('/index.php');

still fails on comparison, stating I am on the starting page and not index.php
(the actual page does move to index.php)
