I am getting the following error
GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException : cURL error 3: <url> malformed when configuring the test

Hey Miguel,

I bet you have bad URL for your request. What's it? Is it something relative like '/'? Try to use absolute URL. Does it fix you problem?

P.S. You can disable verification with: $response = $client->get('https://api.github.com/', ['verify' => false]);, but better do not do this.

Cheers!

base_uri, not base_url

Hey Alexandr,

Thank you for this tip! Yeah, in a newer version of Guzzle (newer than we use in this course) they renamed "base_url" -> "base_uri".

Cheers!

In my app I am using Doctrine Blameable Extension, so it sets the current user when creating a post on the createdBy field.

How can I handle this when running my tests?

Victor SFCASTS Shaun T. 8 years ago

Hey Shaun,

You probably need an integration test, but it depends on tools you use. I suppose you use PHPUnit, so take a look at functional tests: http://symfony.com/doc/curr... . You need to authenticate user, create a new post and then check that the post has the current user in createdBy field.

Cheers!

I was getting the error: "Failed to connect to localhost port 80:", even though I was specifying `http://localhost:8000`.

I resolved this by changing `base_url` to `base_uri` in the config of the GuzzleHttp Client constructor.

Also, echoing the response was not working. I had to `echo $response->getBody();`

I am running PHP 7.1 locally. Perhaps this or Guzzle changes since this video was produced are factors.

Hey Mike Milano

You are absolutely right, Guzzle has changed a bit since the tutorial was recorded. Thanks for informing us, we will add a note to the video to prevent other users from this "What a heck" moment

Cheers!

This tutorial uses an older version of Symfony. The concepts of REST are still valid, but I recommend using API Platform in new Symfony apps.

Symfony 2

What PHP libraries does this tutorial use?

// composer.json
