Model boot() being ignore when updating model about testdummy HOT 2 CLOSED

We see a similar issue.

We use a static::creating boot method in some models to automatically generate a 16-character random id ("uid"). These are correctly generated when using Factory::create() during the first test method on an integration test, but they are ignored on Factory::create() calls in subsequent test methods in the same integration test. The static::creating method simply isn't being called.

We were able to get around this by simply faking the uid column in the factory declarations.

So perhaps this has nothing to do with TestDummy, but instead is a Codeception/Laravel4 issue.

There appears to be a decent explanation of the issue and an interesting solution here:

I was able to resolve the problem by simply calling the 'boot' method for all affected models in the _before() method for my Codeception test. Example:

protected function _before() {
    Namespaced\Path\To\Model1::boot();
    Namespaced\Path\To\Model2::boot();
}

from testdummy.
