php-symfonyHow to do testing with PHP Symfony?

Testing with PHP Symfony is a great way to ensure that your application is working as expected.

To get started, you can use the Symfony PHPUnit Bridge to integrate PHPUnit into your Symfony application.

composer require --dev symfony/phpunit-bridge

Once installed, you can create a test class in the tests directory of your application.

<?php

namespace App\Tests;

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testSomething()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(true);
    }
}

You can then run the tests with the bin/phpunit command.

$ bin/phpunit

PHPUnit 8.5.8 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Time: 00:00.001, Memory: 6.00 MB

OK (2 tests, 2 assertions)

You can also use the Symfony Test Client to simulate HTTP requests and test the response.
