Cannot Get Working Setup for Running Acceptance Tests according to README

[juppwerner]

I wanted to understand how testing works with Yii2. I cannot run the acceptance tests.
I am refering to the section Running acceptance tests the READMEof this application template repository.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Install Yii2 basic app template: composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic yii2-app-basic-testing => App and packages are installed OK

Rename tests/acceptance.suite.yml.example to tests/acceptance.suite.yml => done

Install codeception/codeception: The package codeception/codeception is already installed by default composer requirement (so the related line in README seems redundant)

Run Selenium standalone: java -jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=~/chromedriver.exe selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar => app is installed OK

Start web server: tests/bin/yii serve => server is running OK

Run tests: vendor\bin\codecept run => Error, see below

What's expected?

Have all tests run

What do you get instead?

The following error is shown:

In ModuleContainer.php line 115:

Module WebDriver is not installed.
Use Composer to install corresponding package:

composer require codeception/module-webdriver --dev

Install codeception/module-webdriver as per above results in

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Also with option --with-all-dependencies (-W)

Additional info

Yii version	Current as per composer file in Yii2 App Basic

Thank you.

Can confirm, the info in the README is a bit outdated.
Due to the current hard-wiring of phpunit (see #308), the webdriver needs to be installed with a version constrained to 3.x

composer require --dev codeception/module-webdriver:^3.0

I suggest updating the README as such:

(or without the version constraint once the phpunit explicit dep is gone)

Would it make more sense to add codeception/module-webdriver to the composer.json directly (in require-dev? Then step 2 could be omitted entirely.
