How to load form types in tests

Answer 1

You must implements the getExtensions methods that build the two mocked form types used in the form: PlacesAutocompleteType and EntityType

This solutions work for me:

 'Hello World',
    );

    $type = new VenueType();
    $form = $this->factory->create($type);

    $object = new Venue();
    $object->setTitle('Hello World');

    // submit the data to the form directly
    $form->submit($formData);

    $this->assertTrue($form->isSynchronized());
    $this->assertEquals($object, $form->getData());

    $view = $form->createView();
    $children = $view->children;

    foreach (array_keys($formData) as $key) {
        $this->assertArrayHasKey($key, $children);
    }
}


protected function getExtensions()
{

    // Mock the FormType: places_autocomplete

    // See Ivory\GoogleMapBundle\Tests\Form\Type\PlacesAutocompleteTypeTest
    $placesAutocompleteHelperMock = $this->getMockBuilder('Ivory\GoogleMap\Helper\Places\AutocompleteHelper')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();

    $requestMock = $this->getMock('Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request');
    $requestMock
        ->expects($this->any())
        ->method('getLocale')
        ->will($this->returnValue('en'));

    $placesAutocompleteType = new PlacesAutocompleteType(
        $placesAutocompleteHelperMock,
        $requestMock
    );

    // Mock the FormType: entity
    $mockEntityManager = $this->getMockBuilder('\Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();

    $mockRegistry = $this->getMockBuilder('Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\Registry')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();

    $mockRegistry->expects($this->any())->method('getManagerForClass')
        ->will($this->returnValue($mockEntityManager));

    $mockEntityManager ->expects($this->any())->method('getClassMetadata')
        ->withAnyParameters()
        ->will($this->returnValue(new ClassMetadata('entity')));

    $repo = $this->getMockBuilder('Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();

    $mockEntityManager ->expects($this->any())->method('getRepository')
        ->withAnyParameters()
        ->will($this->returnValue($repo));

    $repo->expects($this->any())->method('findAll')
        ->withAnyParameters()
        ->will($this->returnValue(new ArrayCollection()));


    $entityType = new EntityType($mockRegistry);



    return array(new PreloadedExtension(array(
        'places_autocomplete' => $placesAutocompleteType,
        'entity' => $entityType,
    ), array()));
}
}

Hope this help. Let me know.
