When using the test environment symfony2 creates a Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Client
and registers it as test.client
service but it is not registered in dev or prod envs. We're writing two kinds of tests: unit tests that use a predefined state of our database and fixtures in the test environment and functional tests that use the local productive database. When I want to use the Client
to test a route's HTTP behaviour I can only do that in the test environment where I don't have access to the dev database.
How can we reuse the test.client "service" in our dev environment? BTW: It's working when we're copying the Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Resources\test.xml
file into our application and include it in the config_dev. Could we also include that file directly from the vendors directory?
