How to make https requests in symfony2 functional test?

Question

Hi i am using phpunit for testing and Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase for unit testing. So far there were no problem but now we start to use https and my tests are not working anymore.I start to get 301 response code for my every request in my tests. My question is how do i tell to Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client to make requests to https://localhost.com/uri instead of http://localhost.com/uri ?

EDIT

In symfony website http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/testing.html they show how to configure server parameters and there is a code peace like

$client->request(
 'GET',
 '/demo/hello/Fabien',
 array(),
 array(),
 array(
     'CONTENT_TYPE'          => 'application/json',
     'HTTP_REFERER'          => '/foo/bar',
     'HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest',
 )
);

I tried to give HTTPS element as mentioned in http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php changed my code as

$client->request('GET',
         '/'.$version.'/agencies/'.$agencyId,
         array(), 
         array(),
         array('HTTPS' => 'on')
         );

However, it is still not working?

did you try $client->request('GET', 'localhost/uri'); ? – Kelantan

He wants an https request not an http request. – Elisa

The third argument of $this->createClient() is a server array. What if you set the 'https' element? – Thorner

@WouterJ i tried and explained in my edit – Clarisclarisa

@OmerTemel i said third argument of createClient, you used fourth argument of request – Thorner

Answer 1

Thanks to @WouterJ i changed my client creation from :

static::createClient();

to:

static::createClient(array(),array('HTTPS' => true));

it solved my problem. It turns out that I cant give HTTP_HOST and HTTPS parameters in client ->request. It should be determined while client creation.

A possible alternate solution is calling $client->setServerParameter('HTTPS', true); on an already instantiated client object – Darlenedarline

Answer 2

I am using Symfony4 and this how I created my functional test. I have tested following code and it works fine.

namespace App\Tests\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class CategoryControllerTest extends WebTestCase
{
    public function testList()
    {
       $client = static::createClient(); 

       $client->request('GET', '/category/list');

       $this->assertEquals(200, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
    }
}
