I'm writing functional test and i need to make ajax post request. "The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form". How can i get the token in my functional test ?
$crawler = $this->client->request(
'POST',
$url,
array(
'element_add' => array(
'_token' => '????',
'name' => 'bla',
)
),
array(),
array('HTTP_X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest')
);
CSRF token generator is normal symfony 2 service. You can get service and generate token yourself. For example:
$csrfToken = $client->getContainer()->get('form.csrf_provider')->generateCsrfToken('registration');
$crawler = $client->request('POST', '/ajax/register', array(
'fos_user_registration_form' => array(
'_token' => $csrfToken,
'username' => 'samplelogin',
'email' => 'sample@fake.pl',
'plainPassword' => array(
'first' => 'somepass',
'second' => 'somepass',
),
'name' => 'sampleuser',
'type' => 'DSWP',
),
));
The generateCsrfToken gets one important parameter intention which should be the same in the test and in the form otherwise it fails.
