[4.x]: Outdated Testing Docs

Start by locating the Craft 4 testing documentation referenced in the issue and compare its Codeception, dotenv, Craft CMS, and command examples with the reported PHP 8 setup. Update the affected instructions so installation and test execution are consistent, then verify the documented commands and dependencies against the reported failures.

What happened?

Description

Following the Craft 4 testing documentation I noticed a few inconsitencies which indicate that it has not been updated since Craft 3.

Problem 1: Install Codeception 3.1 or Higher. Running composer require --dev codeception/codeception ^3.1 will prompt this: - codeception/codeception[3.1.0, ..., 3.1.3] require php >=5.6.0 <8.0 -> your php version (8.0.2; overridden via config.platform, actual: 8.0.30) does not satisfy that requirement. CraftCMs requries >=8.0.2, this version of codeception requires <8.0.

In the requirements section, this is written: Craft CMS 3.2 or higher, however, I am using the Craft 4 docs. This is probably the biggest give away that the docs have no been updated.

Problem 2: Running composer require --dev vlucas/phpdotenv ^3.0, will result in the following error when running ./craft: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Dotenv\Dotenv::createUnsafeMutable() in /Users/.../.../.../craft2/bootstrap.php:17

Problem 3: codecept is not in project root path. Must to use php vendor/bin/codecept run Unit.

Taking the assumption that both codeception/codeception and vlucas/phpdotenv should be installed at their latest version to continue.

Running php vendor/bin/codecept run Unit results in the following error:
