功能测试失败，csrf_protection = true

Question

In a functional test of user registration: when csrf_protection: true, registration fails even though registration succeeds in dev. Test succeeds when csrf_protection: false. (Application uses PUGXMultiUserBundle). I've tried clearing test cache, etc. Dumping $this->client->getResponse()->getContent() to file shows the registration form with all fields but password completed. Stepping through a debug of the test shows the _token field submitted but seemingly stripped out of fos_user_registration_form[] before getting to the line public function request($method, $uri, array $parameters = array(), array $files = array(), array $server = array(), $content = null, $changeHistory = true) in Client.php.

For now I've set csrf_protection: false in config_test.yml - not the best solution!

After much experimentation I discovered my own solution: Add 'intention' => 'registration', to user form class! Doh!

EDIT: above was NOT the solution!!!

The fundamental problem was using the array method ($this->client->request($form->getMethod(), $form->getUri(), $this->volunteerValues); of submitting the form. Doing so excluded the csrf token! Instead, I did this to allow the form's token field to be used:

public function submitVolunteerForm()
{
    $crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/register/volunteer');
    $form = $crawler->selectButton('Save')->form();
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[email]'] = '[e-mail]';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[username]'] = 'hvolunteer';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[firstName]'] = 'Harry';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[lastName]'] = 'Volunteer';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[plainPassword][first]'] = '123Abcd';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[plainPassword][second]'] = '123Abcd';
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[focuses]'] = [1];
    $form['fos_user_registration_form[skills]'] = [14];

    $crawler = $this->client->submit($form);
}
