APITestCase for Symfony4 seems to break. I'm getting user not found. It seems to be still hitting my app database instead of app_test database.

Hey azeem

Probably you forgot to override the database url parameter in your "phpunit.xml.dist" file
You can find more info here: https://symfony.com/doc/cur...

Cheers!

I have that set already. And, it hits the correct `app_test` schema if I make any changes via entity manager. However, I am testing an api endpoint for e.g. `/app_test.php/tokens` via GuzzleHttp. if I do `var_dump(getenv('APP_ENV'), getenv('database_url'))` I get 'dev' and `mysql://username:secret@localhost:3306/apps`

Hey azeem!

Hmmm. So basically, when you interact with the database inside your test (e.g. add/delete rows), this correctly happens against the test database. But when you actually make the Guzzle request to /app_test.php/tokens, this hits the "dev" environment. Is that correct?

In that case, what does your app_test.php file look like? And also, in what file are you overriding the database credentials for the test environment?

Indeed, the way that you override some of these variables is a bit different in Symfony 4 :).

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
