… (cyve) This PR was merged into the 7.4 branch. Discussion ---------- [FrameworkBundle] Prepare session in functionnal tests | Q | A | ------------- | --- | Branch? | 7.4 | Bug fix? | no | New feature? | yes | Deprecations? | no | Issues | Fix #46023 | License | MIT | Doc PR | symfony/symfony-docs#21352 | Hello, I propose to add a `getSession()` method to the `KernelBrowser` class to be able to prepare the session before sending a HTTP request in a functionnal test. It could be used to preset CSRF tokens, A/B testing data, user preferences, or any stateful information required for the test. I also propose to use `getSession()` in the `loginUser()` method. Then, the session could be preset either before or after the login, without risking to be overwritten. ```php public function testForm() { $client = self::createClient(); $client->loginUser(new InMemoryUser('admin', null)); $session = $client->getSession(); $session->set('_csrf/form', '123456789'); $session->set('foo', 'bar'); $session->save(); $client->request('POST', '/form', ['form' => ['_token' => '123456789']]); } ``` In this example, the session will contain : ```php array:3 [ "_security_main" => "O:52:"Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\TestBrowserToken":2:{i:0;s:4:"main";i:1;a:5:{i:0;O:49:"Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser":4:{s:59:"\x00Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser\x00username";s:5:"admin";s:59:"\x00Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser\x00password";N;s:56:"\x00Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser\x00roles";a:0:{}s:58:"\x00Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser\x00enabled";b:1;}i:1;b:1;i:2;N;i:3;a:0:{}i:4;a:0:{}}}", "_csrf/form" => "123456789", "foo" => "bar" ] ``` Thanks in advance for your feedbacks 😄 Commits ------- a8f045f [FrameworkBundle] Add KernelBrowser::getSession()
