Codeception Api套件助手不调用_beforeSuite（），_ afterSuite（），_ inititize（）

Question

I am refactoring an api test suite. I need to move a lot of code into Api helper class inside _beforeSuite($settings = []) & _afterSuite().

The problem is that these functions inside api helper class are not getting called for some reason when I start the suite.

My project structure

namespace Helper;

require_once(__DIR__ . './../../_data/MyData.php');
require_once(__DIR__ . './../../_data/TestData.php');
require_once(__DIR__ . './../../_data/CommentsData.php');

// here you can define custom actions
// all public methods declared in helper class will be available in $I

class Api extends \Codeception\Module
{
    public function _beforeSuite($settings = [])
    {
        echo "TEST";

        parent::_beforeSuite($settings);

        $I = $this;
        $token = MyData::$tokenReadAndWrite;
        $json = CommentsData::$addCommentsProj;
        $keySingJson = CommentsData::$createKeySingular;
        $keyPluralJson = CommentsData::$createKeyPlural;

        $I->wantTo('Setup project and keys for comments');

        // create project for comments
        $projectId = $I->addProject($token,$json);

        // add singular key for adding comments
        $I->addKey($token, $projectId, $keySingJson);

        // add plural key for adding comments
        $I->addKey($token, $projectId, $keyPluralJson);

        echo "TEST";
    }

    public function _afterSuite()
    {
        parent::_afterSuite();
//        $I = $this;
//
//        $token = MyData::$tokenReadAndWrite;
//        $projectName = CommentsData::$projName;
//
//        $I->wantTo('deleting comments project');
//
//        // fetch the id of comments project
//        $projectId = $I->getProjectIdByName($token, $projectName);
//
//        $I->deleteProject($token, $projectId);
    }
}

                - PhpBrowser:
                    curl:

                curl:
                  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT: 300

I commented out all the code in _afterSuite() for debugging purpose. Tried different approaches with renaming the class, moving to other folder and rechecking my .yml files, and also tried changing _beforeSuite function to _initialize - no difference. I feel that I have missed something.

Update:

codecept build didn't helped
