Yii2 REST API Codeception issue

Question

I am trying to use Codeception to function test my app's RESTful API. I am using HttpBasicAuth with a custom auth function that validates username and password.

The endpoint I am trying to test is a simple GET /users. The functional.suite.yml looks like this:

class_name: FunctionalTester
modules:
  enabled: 
    - Filesystem 
    - Yii2 
    - REST:
        depends: PhpBrowser
    - tests\codeception\_support\FixtureHelper
  config: 
    Yii2:
        configFile: 'codeception/config/functional.php'
    REST:
        url: 'http://localhost:8888/v1/'

My UserApiCept.php starts this way:

<?php 
$I = new FunctionalTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('test the user REST API');
$I->amHttpAuthenticated('goodname', 'goodpassword');
$I->sendGET('users/1');

When I run the suite I get a 401 (Unauthorized HTTP Exception). In --debug, request headers are empty. However, when I run the GET in Postman (providing the username and password), the GET returns the JSON response I expect. So I know the API works.

It appears that there is an issue with amHttpAuthenticated, which I assume is supposed to provide the authorization header, right?

Any advice on how I can troubleshoot this?

In case anyone else has this problem, I had the dependency wrong:

class_name: FunctionalTester
modules:
  enabled: 
    - Filesystem 
    - Yii2 
    - REST:
        depends: Yii2
...

When I initially did the build after adding REST, I got the error message: "This module depends on Codeception\Lib\InnerBrowser" and then provided an example using

depends: PhpBrowser

Hope this helps someone.
