Почему не проходит тест на удаление?

Question

[slip31]

Unit тест. Пытаюсь начать тестировать (Yii2)
Сделал фикстуры

public function _fixtures() {
        return [
            'menu' => [
                'class' => \common\fixtures\MenuFixture::className(),
                'dataFile' => codecept_data_dir() . 'menu.php'
            ]
        ];
    }

Заполнил файл menu.php
Сделал тест на создание

public function testCreateMenuItem() {
        $model = new Menu([
            'label' => 'Контакты',
            'url' => 'contacts',
            'order' => '8',
            'created_at' => '1402312317',
            'updated_at' => '1402312317',
            'delete_at' => '0',
        ]);
        $this->assertTrue($model->validate());
        $this->assertTrue($model->save());
    }

Вроде всё ок (но как понимаю, фикстуры тут не задействованы)
Делаю тест на удаление

public function testDeleteMenuItem() {        
        $model = Menu::findOne(1);      
        $this->assertTrue($model->delete());
    }

Но он не проходит
Failed asserting that 1 is true.
При запуске codecept --debug
