MFTF >=4.3.1 uses a Yandex\Allure class that doesn't exist

[densen45]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version: 2.4.6 (installed via composer)

From composer.json:

• "allure-framework/allure-phpunit": "^2"
• "magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework": "^4.2.1" (currently 4.3.1 is being installed)

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup MFTF (https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/testing/functional-testing-framework/getting-started/)
2. Try to execute a test

or just visit the class Magento\FunctionalTestingFramework\Allure\Adapter\MagentoAllureAdapter and notice that the class Yandex\Allure\Codeception\AllureCodeception doesn't exist. This class is used and should serve as parent for the MagentoAllureAdapter.

Expected result

All used classes exist and MFTF tests can be executed.

Actual result

MFTF tests cannot be executed due to missing dependencies.

Additional information

Explicitly setting the MFTF version to 4.2.1 in composer.json and execute composer update solves this issue.

"magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework": "4.2.1" (without the ^)

The issue is getting worse.

The composer.json from M 2.4.7 requires magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework ^4.7 and this has the same issue as described above.

With Magento 2.4.7 it's no longer possible to explicitly downgrade Magento Functional Testing Framework to version 4.2.1, because this requires symfony/finder ^5.0, which requires symfony/string ^5.4, but M 2.4.7 requires symfony/string ^6.4.

composer.json

...
        "magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework": "4.2.1",
...
        "symfony/finder": "^5.4"

$ composer update
Gathering patches for root package.
Loading composer repositories with package information                                                                                                                                                          Updating dependencies                                 
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires magento/product-community-edition 2.4.7 -> satisfiable by magento/product-community-edition[2.4.7].
    - You can only install one version of a package, so only one of these can be installed: symfony/string[v5.1.10, ..., v5.4.39, v6.0.0, ..., v6.4.7, v7.0.0, ..., v7.0.7].
    - magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework 4.2.1 requires symfony/string ^5.4 -> satisfiable by symfony/string[v5.4.0, ..., v5.4.39].
    - magento/product-community-edition 2.4.7 requires symfony/string ^6.4 -> satisfiable by symfony/string[v6.4.0, ..., v6.4.7].
    - Root composer.json requires magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework 4.2.1 -> satisfiable by magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework[4.2.1].

Thus, I'm not able to execute any MFTF test in Magento 2.4.7. Has anyone else experienced this?

[densen45]

Hey everyone, this issue is still a pain in my neck.
We have invested a lot of time in creating MFTF tests, but since 2.4.7 we can no longer use them.

Guys, I'm sorry for marking you directly but I don't know how else to make progress here. Maybe you can help me :)

• @okolesnyk you introduced the inheritance to the AllureCodeception class from Yandex, which does not exist (https://github.com/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/blob/d333743e9a0d7e722a3fbd0a2dec5e77e99fba17/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/Allure/Adapter/MagentoAllureAdapter.php#L42),
• @soumyau you are the the last to make a real code change to the ‘MagentoAllureAdapter’ class,
• @hostep and you are the last one who edited the MagentoAllureAdapter class.

Many thanks to all those who are willing to contribute to this issue.

[hostep]

It looks like you are correct.

This worked correctly in Magento 2.4.5 which comes with magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework 3.5.1 requires allure-framework/allure-codeception (~1.4.0||~1.5.0)
But is broken in 2.4.6 and 2.4.7, latest comes with magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework 4.7.2 requires allure-framework/allure-codeception (^2.1)

The namespace of that AllureCodeception class changed from Yandex\Allure\Codeception to Qameta\Allure\Codeception between version 1 and 2 of allure-framework/allure-codeception by this commit: allure-framework/allure-codeception@79a583a

Part of the MFTF codebase was updated for the new namespace in magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework@32615bc, but not all of it.

Strange that Adobe's automatic tests didn't pick this up... Just running phpstan myself locally in an 2.4.7 project on the MFTF vendor codebase reveals this error next to a bunch of others:

@KevinBKozan, @manjusha729: are you guys aware of this? Any plans on fixing this in a new version?

[hostep]

Looks like it was already reported before many months ago in magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework#912

I have no experience with running custom MFTF tests myself, but does the comment from magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework#912 (comment) help @densen45? It sounds like maybe updating those yaml files might solve your issue?

[KevinBKozan]

@hostep Hello! I was not directly aware of this issue, but I'm going to create an internal ticket to take a look at this ASAP.

Surface level I understand that it's a namespacing issue, but given the complexity of the relationship between MFTF dependencies and M2 dependencies I want to understand the exact workflow that's leading to this. We run our MFTF suite when we create the M2 composer packages, and any issues like these would definitely be caught by the workflow of pulling composer magento and trying to run tests.

[KevinBKozan]

@hostep an update on the above:

We went through reproduction steps and yes, it seems like the only way to reproduce it is to:

• Pull MFTF 2.4.x
• Run build:project to generate the codeception.yml
• Upgrade MFTF to MFTF 2.
• Try to run any tests - namespacing issue is encountered

The intended workflow for this usecase is to just run mftf reset --hard (documentation) which will remove the old yml configuration files that are generated. Then you can build:project and the correct configuration files will be regenerated.

I also personally pulled Magento 2.4.7 (2.4.7-p2) and went through a normal workflow to install MFTF and I was able to run tests without any namespacing issues. Worth noting MFTF 4.7.2 is being pulled, so of course this would work.

@densen45 may I ask why you're locking MFTF to an older version as opposed to just using whichever comes with the composer package?

[hostep]

@KevinBKozan, thanks for the explanation, hopefully that will help @densen45 further.

But, any reason why you keep old classes around in the MFTF package that reference classes that your dependencies are not pulling in?
In my opinion, you should remove the classes MagentoAllureAdapter and AddUniqueAttachmentEvent for example if you're expecting users to no longer use them.

[KevinBKozan]

@hostep Honestly no, I don't think there is a reason to have kept them around. If I remember correctly, the Codeception version bump had to keep being delayed due to M2 dependency issues; I'm positive the cleanup portion was just missed in lieu of wanting to be 100% sure version bump was thoroughly compatible.

I'm very motivated to perform that cleanup though - I'll create another internal task to take care of it. Good call out! 👍

[densen45]

@hostep Thank you very much for your investigation, fast response and involving @KevinBKozan. Really well done!

@KevinBKozan I have executed mftf reset --hard and rebuilt the project afterwards (mftf build:project). And I can't believe it, but now I can finally carry out our MFTF tests again. Yippee 🥳 oh, this is great! Many thanks!

That means, executing mftf build:project is not enough for a clean test preparation, if you have left overs form previous versions (see the end of this post)? Although it says

$ mftf build:project

mftf files removed from filesystem.
...

I'm not sure if I get you @KevinBKozan right here: "may I ask why you're locking MFTF to an older version as opposed to just using whichever comes with the composer package?"
Initially I didn't locked the MFTF version. This was a workaround to make our MFTF tests work again in Magento 2.4.6 (see my initial report from June, 2023). We normally use the versions that come with the composer package, but at least since 2.4.6 we also use the directory/code base of the previous Magento version for our local projects' basis. That means, the old config files apparently were a left over from the workaround we applied in Magento 2.4.6.
