How to setup DB object for Testing using Codeception in Laravel

Question

I want to use the DB object in a set of Codeception tests I am running inside Laravel. Specifically, I want to do this as part of the _before of the test:

DB::table('name')->truncate();

At the beginning on my TestCest.php file I have this:

use \AcceptanceTester;
namespace App\Modules\Admin\Controllers;
use DB;

However, the DB object wont let me use it - I get a message

Failed to login

when I run the codecept tests.

I am certain I am missing something basic about setting up the DB object, but I cannot figure it out.

I've looked at this answer - stackoverflow.com/questions/25787376/… - but still cannot make it work. — bagnap

This is how I solved it.

In tests/_bootstrap.php I placed the following code

// This is global bootstrap for autoloading
require __DIR__.'/../../bootstrap/autoload.php';
require __DIR__.'/../../bootstrap/start.php';
