Symfony2 functional test authentication

Question

I'm trying to set my functional tests up and I'm having problems with getting authenticated. I've read over this guide: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/testing/http_authentication.html and implemented what they have said to do but I still get stuck on redirecting login. I'm sure this is something trivial but I'm not sure what. Test Controller ``` namespace HvH\ClientsBundle\Tests\Controller; use HvH\ClientsBundle\Controller\ClientsController; use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\HeaderBag; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session; use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller; class ClientsControllerTest extends WebTestCase { public function testGetClientsAction() { $client = static::createClient(); $client->request( '/clients/123456', 'GET', array(), /* request params */ array(), /* files */ array('X-Requested-With' => "XMLHttpRequest", 'PHP_AUTH_USER' => 'testuse…

Accepted Answer

You should be able to do the following:

1) 'browse' to the page

```
$client = static::createClient();
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/login');
```

2) Select the form via the submit button

```
$buttonCrawlerNode = $crawler->selectButton('submit');
```

3) Pass the login credentials as data and submit the form

```
$form = $buttonCrawlerNode->form();
$data = array('username' => 'u@u.com','password' => 'pass');
$client->submit($form,$data);
```

4) Follow the redirect

```
$crawler = $client->followRedirect();
```

5) At this point you should be able to check the response code

```
$this->assertEquals(302, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
```

or access a secured page

```
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/dashboard');
//do other stuff
```
