I'm testing a form through the SubmitForm()
function because the form uses javascript to cycle through each individual item.
example:
$I->submitForm('#form', array(
'feet' => '1',
'inches' => '2',
), 'submit');
This works fine but I'm having trouble with a file upload input.
$I->submitForm('#form', array(
'feet' => '1',
'inches' => '2',
'file' => ???
), 'submit');
I tried sending an array to mimic the $_FILES
array but that obviously isn't the right way to do it. Is this possible?
I've encountered this issue as well and the only way I can see around it is to manually fill the fields and the click the submit button.
For example
$I->fillField(['name' => 'name'], 'Test');
$I->attachFile('input[name=photo]', 'test.jpg');
$I->click('#formId button[type=submit]');
$I->seeCurrentRouteIs('route.index');
$I->see('Model has been updated.');
You can store any test files in the Codeception tests/_data folder.
This does work, but sadly doesn't help me in my current situation as I have a form which dynamically populates various select elements so I need to submitForm
as I can't manually selectOption
as the options are populated depending on other form completions.
