Research direction

The target is the linked Setting Up Tests page, especially its Codeception.yml instructions. First inspect where codeception.yml is placed in a newly installed Craft CMS and compare the documented CRAFT_DB_DRIVER setting with the current BD_DNS usage; done means the page names the correct file location and current configuration.

Description

I have a suggestion for https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/testing/testing-craft/setup.html

Codeception.yml
Open the codeception.yml file and replace its content with the following:

You should specify where to put/edit the file. After a newly installed CraftCMS, this file is only in vendors. We're not going to update a file directly in vendors.

Edit : The documentation does not seem up to date. Using BD_DNS instead of CRAFT_DB_DRIVER, ... like on current fresh installs.
