Loading 'suite' from a Module

[Fenikkusu]

I have a suite that I drop into almost every project I use. While I do have a few changes I have to make from project to project, the suite is easily over 95% identical between projects. I'd like to ultimately convert this suite to a module that I include in any project that needs it, and use the Codeception config to handle the adjustments I am currently manually doing. I would want it to still run as an individual suite within the testing, with the ability to do codecept run suite-name and similar commands.

Has anyone done something of this nature?

Does using git submodule count?

You could using include setting to execute tests from vendor/ directory.

You're not wrong in that would likely work, though it seems a bit of a roundabout way of doing it.

You can find multiple examples of people using include to run tests from vendor/ in issues.
It is not a roundabout way - it was built for this purpose.

Regarding your idea.

Codeception modules can't load tests - they only provide action methods and some before/after hooks.
You could implement custom test loader as documented in https://codeception.com/docs/Customization#formats
but you would still need a suite.yaml file, suite directory and one file in that directory to trigger the loader.
And you would still have to figure out a way to load tests from your module.
