How to send form fields with Guzzle 6? - php

Question

I am developing my unit tests for an API created in Symfony4
Reading the Guzzle documentation I generated the following code:
File SecurityControllerTest.php
$client = new Client([
'base_uri' => 'http://localhost/sacrepad/sacrepad-api/public/index.php/',
'timeout' => 2.0,
]);
$data = array();
$data['email'] = 'admin#admin.com';
$data['password'] = '12345678';
$data2 = array();
$data2['json'] = $data;
$formData = json_encode($data);
$response = $client->request('POST', 'login', [
'headers' => ['Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'],
'form_params' => [
'json' => $formData,
]
]);
$body = json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
File SecurityController.php
/**
* #Route("/login", name="login", methods={"POST"})
*/
public function login(Request $request,Helpers $helpers,ValidatorInterface $validator, JwtAuth $jwtauth) {
$data = array(
'status' => 'error',
'code' => 400,
'msg' => 'data not received'
);
$json = $request->request->get('json');
$params = json_decode($json);
}
When I run the tests with the phpunit command, I get the following error:
1) App\Tests\SecurityControllerTest::testAuth GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException: Server error: `POST http://localhost/sacrepad/sacrepad-api/public/index.php/login` resulted in a `500 Internal Server Error` response:
If I change the name of the request:
$json = $request->request->get('json2');
It works and it returns me the following:
array(3) {
["status"]=>
string(5) "error"
["code"]=>
int(400)
["msg"]=>
string(18) "data not received"
}
Any ideas on how to make it work and send the parameters?

i build a class for working with guzzle
use Exception;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException;
class Api
{
protected $client;
protected $url;
public function __construct()
{
$this->client = new Client([
'verify'=>false
]);
$this->url = 'http://localhost/sacrepad/sacrepad-api/public/';
}
public function get($endpoint, $params = [], $headers = [])
{
$response = $this->sendRequest(
'GET',
$this->url . $endpoint,
$params,
$headers
);
return $response;
}
public function post($endpoint, $params = [], $headers = [])
{
$response = $this->sendRequest(
'POST',
$this->url . $endpoint,
$params,
$headers
);
return $response;
}
public function sendRequest($type, $url, $params = [], $headers = [])
{
if ($type == 'GET') {
$data = [
'query' => $params
];
} elseif ($type == 'FILE') {
$type = 'POST';
$data = [
'multipart' => $params // TODO implements later
];
} else {
$data = [
'json' => $params
];
}
if (!empty($headers)) {
$data['headers'] = $headers;
}
$data['headers']['X-REAL-IP'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$data['headers']['User-Agent'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];;
$data['headers']['X-Platform'] = 'web';
try {
$response = $this->client->request(
$type,
$url,
$data
);
if (in_array($response->getStatusCode(), ['200', '403', '404'])) {
return json_decode($response->getBody());
}
return false;
} catch (RequestException $re) {
if (in_array($re->getResponse()->getStatusCode(), ['403', '404', '422'])) {
return json_decode($re->getResponse()->getBody());
}
return json_decode($re->getResponse()->getBody());
} catch (Exception $e) {
return false;
}
}
}
when i want to send a post request it would be like this
$response = (new Api())->post('index.php/',[
'email'=> 'admin#admin.com',
'password' => '123456'
]);
now it will send a post request to index.php and send email and password data i hope it would be helpful
