Symfony 1.4 functional tests - using routing rules in sfTestFunctional::get()

Question

Unfortunately I'am currently forced to use concrete URI in my functional test (get('/articles/index') in case of my backend admin testing).

It's obviously not good because this way im depending on concrete project URI settings which is not the point of this tests, is possibly somehow use routing rules in this get() method?

Answer 1

You can generate the URI of the route you need, and then pass that URI to get(). To get the routing set up appropriately, add this at the beginning of your test:

$routing = sfContext::getInstance()->getRouting();
$routingOptions = $routing->getOptions();
$routingOptions['context']['prefix'] = '';
$routing->initialize(sfContext::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher(), $routing->getCache(), $routingOptions);

To generate the URI you want, do

$uri = $routing->generate('route_name', array('param' => 'value'));
$test->get($uri);
