Login SubscribeThe last type of test is called a functional test. And it's way different than what we've seen so far. With unit and integration tests, we call methods on our code and test the output. But with a functional test, you command a browser, which surfs to your site, clicks on links, fills out forms and asserts things it sees on the page. Yep, you're testing the interface that your users actually use.
Oh, and functional tests also apply if you're building an API. It's the same idea: you would use an HTTP client to make real HTTP requests to your API and assert the output.
First, to give us some magic, I want to install a special bundle: Google for LiipFunctionalTestBundle.
This bundle is not needed to write functional tests. But, it has a collection of optional, extra goodies!
Copy the composer require line, move over to your terminal, and paste:
composer require --dev "liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9"
Tip
If you are using PHPUnit 7+ or Symfony 4+, you need to require a newer version of this bundle.
To install it, run the next command without the specific version constraint: composer require --dev liip/functional-test-bundle
Functional tests look like unit tests at first: they use PHPUnit in the exact way we've been seeing. But instead of writing one test class per PHP class, you'll usually create one test class per controller class.
It doesn't have much yet, but we're going to functionally test our homepage. Since the code behind this lives in DefaultController, let's create a Controller directory in tests and add a new DefaultControllerTest class.
But now, instead of extending TestCase or KernelTestCase, extend WebTestCase. But wait! There are two! The normal base class is the one from FrameworkBundle. It actually extends KernelTestCase, which means we have all the same tools as integration tests. But, it adds a few methods to help create a client object: a special object we'll use to make requests into our app.
Today we'll choose WebTestCase from LiipFunctionalTestBundle. No surprise, this class itself extends the normal WebTestCase. Then, it adds a bunch of optional magic.
| ... lines 1 - 4 | |
| use Liip\FunctionalTestBundle\Test\WebTestCase; | |
| class DefaultControllerTest extends WebTestCase | |
| { | |
| ... lines 9 - 16 | |
| } |
Let's add the first test: public function testEnclosuresAreShownOnTheHomepage(). Right now, the homepage is empty. But in a minute, we're going to render all of the enclosures. So let's do a little TDD testing! Start by creating a client with $client = $this->makeClient(). This method comes from LiipFunctionalTestBundle, but is just a wrapper around Symfony's normal static::createClient(). The version from the bundle just adds some optional authentication magic.
| ... lines 1 - 6 | |
| class DefaultControllerTest extends WebTestCase | |
| { | |
| public function testEnclosuresAreShownOnHomepage() | |
| ... line 10 | |
| $client = $this->makeClient(); | |
| ... lines 12 - 15 | |
| } | |
| } |
Next, make a request! $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/') to go to the homepage. We'll talk more about this Crawler object in a few minutes. Then, the simplest test is to say $this->assertStatusCode(200) and pass $client. But even this is just a shortcut to make sure 200 matches $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode().
| ... lines 1 - 8 | |
| public function testEnclosuresAreShownOnHomepage() | |
| ... lines 10 - 12 | |
| $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/'); | |
| $this->assertStatusCode(200, $client); | |
| } | |
| ... lines 17 - 18 |
And yea... the first part of the test is done! This at least makes sure our page isn't broken!
But before we try it, we need to finish installing the bundle. Copy the 3 bundle lines, open AppKernel and paste them there.
| ... lines 1 - 6 | |
| class AppKernel extends Kernel | |
| { | |
| public function registerBundles() | |
| { | |
| ... lines 11 - 21 | |
| if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'], true)) { | |
| ... lines 23 - 31 | |
| if ('test' === $this->getEnvironment()) { | |
| $bundles[] = new LiipFunctionalTestBundle(); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ... lines 36 - 37 | |
| } | |
| ... lines 39 - 58 | |
| } |
We also need to add one line to config_test.yml.
| ... lines 1 - 27 | |
| liip_functional_test: ~ |
If you're using Symfony Flex, these steps should eventually be done for you. I say eventually, because - at this moment - Symfony 4 support is still being added to the bundle.
Ok! Let's try it! Find your terminal, run phpunit, and point it at the new controller:
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/AppBundle/Controller/DefaultControllerTest.php
Yes! It passes!
But... what just happened exactly? Did our code just make a real HTTP request to our app... just like if we refreshed it in the browser? Well... not quite.
Remember: in a functional test, we use PHP to command a browser and tell it to go to a page, click on links and fill out forms. But, there are multiple libraries that give us this superpower. We're using Symfony's BrowserKit client... mostly because it's built into Symfony and easy to start using. But, there are others. My favorite is called Mink, which is used behind the scenes with Behat. We have a tutorial all about Behat, with big sections devoted to Mink. So, check that out.
Go Deeper!
Learn all about Mink and Behat: https://knpuniversity.com/screencast/behat
So... what's the difference between Symfony's BrowserKit and Mink? With BrowserKit, you're not actually making a real HTTP request to your app. Nope, you're making a "fake" request directly into your code. Honestly, that doesn't matter much. And actually, it makes setup a bit easier: we didn't need to configure that our site lived at http://localhost:8000 or anything like that.
But, BrowserKit has one big disadvantage: you can't test JavaScript functionality. Nope, since these are fake requests, your JavaScript simply doesn't run! This is the main reason why I prefer Mink: it does allow you to run your code in a real browser... with JavaScript.
For the next few chapters, we are going to use Symfony's BrowserKit Client. But, most of the concepts transfer well to other test clients, like Mink. And you'll still be able to use most of the magic from LiipFuntionalTestBundle. If you have questions about this, just ask in the comments!
Next, let's talk about this $crawler object and how we can use it to dive into the HTML of the page!
Hey fahani ! Thanks again for reporting this issue, we've updated the script and added a note to the video. You rock! 👏
Hey fahani!
Thanks for the pointer on this! We'll look into adding a note so other people don't hit this :).
Cheers!
It seems there's an error with test-created "fixtures"/objects (like $user) when I run $this->manager-remove($user); but only when I run the following twice (prior to $this->manager->remove() being called in tearDown() - where the acctual error is triggered):
$crawler = $this->client->request($method, $this->url, $json);
the error follows (once remove() is called):
<blockquote>1) App\Tests\Service\SecurityTest::verifyAccountTwiceError
Doctrine\ORM\ORMInvalidArgumentException: Detached entity 790 cannot be removed
</blockquote>
It's fine if I don't try to run request() a second time, but when I try $this->manager->remove($user) it throws this error. Very strange!
My research led me to this related SO question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38073802/symfony-detached-entity-cannot-be-removed-in-test-suite-w-phpunit
The manager is retrieved like this (in setUp()):
$this->manager = $client->getKernel()->getContainer()
->get('doctrine')
->getManager();
Otherwise, I'm starting to like creating tests, they are the first tests I've built for a project, but there's definnitely some challenges.
If anyone has some ideas, I would love to know what's going on.
Hey Cameron,
You definitely should not call remove() method twice for the same object. If the object was already removed - Doctrine will throw an error saying that it cannot delete it (that makes sense, it was deleted before). So, just make sure you call that remove() only once for each entity you want to remove in the system.
> I'm starting to like creating tests, they are the first tests I've built for a project, but there's definnitely some challenges.
Congrats with your first steps! Writing tests will definitely worth it later when you will need to upgrade, add new or change existent features :)
Cheers!
Hi Victor, thanks for the response.
Remove is not being called twice, it's: $this->client->request(...) that is being called twice - but it's the $manager->remove() that triggers the error. Calling $this->client->request(...) twice is the only time I get the error, when I use it once per method callin remove() (later on) does not trigger this problem).
Is there some type of issue with making 2 "http" calls in one test method? Or maybe there's something I've overlooked?
Hey Cameron,
Hm, could you show the code, please? Well, sometimes you have to run $manager->refresh($entity) if you did any modifications to the object and want to have a fresh data in it. Try to add that refresh($entity) call before the logic that checks if the entity should be deleted or no, this should help I think.
I hope this helps!
Cheers!
Hi there,
I'm struggling with the installation of the liip/functional-test-bundle, composer doesn't seems to want to install anymore this package on the symfony version you deliver with this course; I just downloaded your course, made a composer install and followed the 22 previous chapter religiously, without installing anything fancy.
Tell me if this works well for you, but maybe a fresh version of the code on symfony 4 or 5 would be fast to do for you, and changes barely anything in the course :)
Because overall, "testing with a bite" is excellent : the subject is one of the most important in coding, the dino-project is totally fun, the chapters are perfectly designed, the girl voice-acting here is lovely, everything is fine, so I would love to continue over chapter 23 !
Hey Julien R.!
Nice to chat with you and sorry for the troubles! Let's see if we can work it out :).
composer doesn't seems to want to install anymore this package on the symfony version you deliver with this course
Hmm, yes, I think I see the issue. The latest version of the bundle doesn't support the Symfony version I'm using. You can fix that (for the purpose of this tutorial) by forcing an older version. We actually have a note about this in the tutorial - have you tried this command?
composer require --dev liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9
Let me know :). If you DID and you got an error, then I definitely want to know about it!

❤️ I'll pass that feedback to the team. And sorry again for the issue :).
Cheers!
Hello Ryan !
Thank you for taking time chatting with me :)
OK I spend an hour making tests in every possible ways.
To be sure, I Tried with my actual following-the-tutorial-folder, and a brand new install of your code-phpunit.zip --> start folder, and with various PHP versions.
First of all, on the fresh install, I noticed that the PHP version matters.
A composer install with some versions of PHP :
7.2.31 OK
7.3.19 OK
7.4.7 NOK
`D:\Developpement\dinopark_fresh
λ composer install

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- This package requires php ^7.0, <7.4 but your PHP version (7.4.7) does not satisfy that requirement.`
As I don't want to test the liip bundle with every PHP versions, so I will continue with PHP 7.3.19 and my composer version is 1.8.6.
Then we can factorise again, as my tests with a fresh install from start folder AND my tests from my personal chapter 22 folder make the same results. The good new in this is that you will be able to reproduce my bugs very easily.
composer require --dev liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9, it never works :`D:\Developpement\dinopark

This is a shortened version of the bug, as the real one is very long.
So if I don't fail any important step, we have :
Let me know if you need screenshots for the error messages, but I think it's now really easy for you to test this out ;)
<blockquote>❤️ I'll pass that feedback to the team. And sorry again for the issue :).</blockquote>
No problem, in fact my message was more about "Keep this course for the future of symfonyCasts because it is so cool" more than "there is a bug in this tutorial" you know :)
I would add also that since symfony 3, PHPUnit and PHPUnit bridge evolved, and the way to test your app changed a bit (for example, I think now it's something like php bin/phpunit ? Or this is the old version...), so a lot of reason to refresh your awesome dinopark !
Cheers !
Hey Julien R.!
Sorry for the slow reply and thanks for the detailed reply and taking so much time to test thing - I really appreciate that :).
Let's unpack some things :)
1) About PHP 7.4 not working
This is a known issue - it's due to some dependencies not being compatible with PHP 7.4 and upgrading them would require major version upgrades. To help with this, we recently launched a feature where we advertise this fact when you download the course code:
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/A1vDSgy.png">
But perhaps this isn't obvious enough? Or is hard to understand? Perhaps it should exactly say "This tutorial does not work in PHP 7.4 and higher"? Let me know - this is a relatively new feature, and this was our first attempt at sharing this information. And yes, ideally the tutorial would work with the latest version of PHP, and we upgrade dependencies to make this happen whenever that's feasible. But when it's not, we want to make it obvious. The fact that the tutorial doesn't work with PHP 7.4 definitely motivates us to upgrade it ;).
2) About composer require --dev liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9 not working
Hmm. What if you surround the argument with quotes?
composer require --dev "liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9"
I'm asking because I just tried this command on the "start" code and it DID work. I'm wondering if your shell is treating "^" as a special character, and so it's looking exactly for a version called 1.9 (when I run the command, it actually installs 1.10.0). Let me know!
No problem, in fact my message was more about "Keep this course for the future of symfonyCasts because it is so cool" more than "there is a bug in this tutorial" you know :)
I really appreciate this! It's something we work on and think about a lot and we're hoping to add some additional testing to our tutorials this year to know when there are php version problems of library install problems.
I would add also that since symfony 3, PHPUnit and PHPUnit bridge evolved, and the way to test your app changed a bit (for example, I think now it's something like php bin/phpunit ? Or this is the old version...), so a lot of reason to refresh your awesome dinopark !
💯:)
Cheers!
Update : some how I managed to do the login with :
$form = $crawler->filter('html > body > div > form')->form();
The problem now is I don't know how to log out, the session stays active between two tests.
Hi everybody, I had a hard time making a basic functional test work, I need to login in the first place. I use symfony 4.4, I find the different tutorials on internet confusing, many ways to do thing..., here is my code (symfony CssSelector is installed):
` public function testLoginToApp()
{
$client = static::createClient([], [
'PHP_AUTH_USER' => 'yvon@mymail.com',
'PHP_AUTH_PW' => 'mypass',
]);
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/login');
$form = $crawler->filter('#loginForm');
$client->submit($form);
$crawler = $client->followRedirect();
// $this->assertEquals(302, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
}`
I just want to login and test if I can access certain routes.
However the nodelist is empty, it cannot find the button# to post data. What did I do wrong?
Hey Benoit L.
The only difference between your first attempt to submit the form and the later one is that you forgot to call ->form() after filtering the response e.g. $crawler->filter('#loginForm')->form();
The problem now is I don't know how to log out, the session stays active between two tests.
Really? I wouldn't expect that behavior but what you can do is just to hit your logout path, that should do the work
by the way, check out this post https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-5-1-simpler-login-in-tests
for your subsequent tests it would be better to just "simulate" the login and perform the action under test
Cheers!
Hi thank you for your tip, unfortunately I am not in symfony 5 and the app is already in production, I wouldn't date making that change. I will visit the logout page prior to do anything else, or empty a cache. I think it would be interesting to put that in tearDown function
I think I understood why I couldn't get the text of login page, because with the static::createClient() with the credential , you are already logged in, no need to post credential via submit !
I've been trying to install liip's bundle for more than an hour now. I'm giving up this course for tonight but can anyone please provide a version number that should install?

Wow I never look to the content below the videos, just saw the *tip*. Answer is: liip/functional-test-bundle:^1.9
Hey julien_bonnier
Yeah sometimes it can be useful :))))
We are glad that you solved your issue! Feel free to ask any questions!
Cheers!!!
Hey Lijana Z.
Good question, an end-to-end test is when you test the entire flow of a feature in your system, in other words, you test that all your components communicates as expected, in this kind of tests you don't mock anything, if you have to store something in the DB, you configure a test DB, if you have to hit an external resource like an API, first you have to find if they offer a sandbox endpoint, if not, then you would have to create a test account so you can use those credentials in your tests
Cheers!
Usually you don't, but if you don't care about *that* service (maybe it's just a dependency that you are not exercicing in that test), then you can mock it out.

Hello guys,
in case you are using Symfony 3.3 and PHPUnit 7 or later (the version that will be installed if you follow this tutorial at this moment), you may end in a limbo of compatibility with liip. Make sure you are using the same version of PHPUnit that this tutorial is using, the version 6.3. Then you won't have any problem installing liip.
Cheers
