testing - How to get the current URL after a redirect in a Symfony2 WebTestCase?

Question

Using the Symfony2 WebTestCase, I have the following test :

$client->request('GET', '/');
$this->assertTrue($client->getResponse() instanceof RedirectResponse);

$crawler = $client->followRedirect();

I would like to test the new url, after the redirection ends with /login but I have found no way to access the new URL.

Answer 1

You can get the current URL with $client->getResponse()->headers->get('location'), and assert it ends with /login using assertRegExp().

$this->assertRegExp('//login$/', $client->getResponse()->headers->get('location'));
