Yii2 testing when using blameable behavior

php, yii2

Solution

Just detach the BlamableBehavior in your `createVehicle()` method as follows:

public function createVehile()
{
    $vehicle = new Vehicle();
    $vehicle->detachBehavior('blameable');
    // ...
}

Problem

I have a model using `Blameable` behavior: ``` class Vehicle extends ActiveRecord { // ... public function behaviors() { return [ 'blameable' => [ 'class' => BlameableBehavior::className(), 'createdByAttribute' => 'UserID', 'updatedByAttribute' => null, ] ]; } // ... } ``` The problem is when I try to save an instance of `Vehicle` for testing with specific UserID, `Blameable` will override that with null (as no user is set to be the current logged in) and save of the model would fail. This snipped illustrates how I've been solving this so far: ``` $owner = $this->createUser(); // creates user with fake data Yii::$app->user->setIdentity($owner); $vehicle = $this->createVehicle(); // creates vehicle and relies that the $owner->UserID will be set when vehicle is being saved ``` However I don't like it because it's not obvious why the user identity is being set before hand. Is there a way to disable the `Blameable` behavior in testing?
