I have been trying to test my controllers as per this tutorial -> Zend Framework 2.1 Unit testing<\/p>\n

I have tried every possible variation of the code to send POST or GET data along with the dispatch but the only thing I get back from running the test is “Undefined Index” when I try to access that data from the $_POST array in the controller.<\/p>\n

I am using PHPUnit 3.7.17, Everything else works perfectly except for POST and GET data, I have tried the following code:<\/p>\n

public function testIndexActionCanBeAccessed() {\n\n     $this->getRequest()\n    ->setMethod(\"POST\")\n    ->setPost(new \\Zend\\Stdlib\\Parameters(array('argument' => 'value')));\n\n    $response = $this->dispatch('\/app\/api\/index');\n    $this->assertResponseStatusCode(200);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
AND<\/p>\n
public function testIndexActionCanBeAccessed() {\n\n    $post_data = array(\"argument\" => \"value\");\n\n    $response = $this->dispatch(\"\/app\/api\/index\", \"POST\", $post_data);\n    $this->assertResponseStatusCode(200);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I can’t find any help on the web how to fix this issue. Can anyone help out? Any ideas?<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    Get\/Post data not sending, this issue is related to server, can you check the function use for fetching data from server.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
        $p = new Parameters();\n    $p->set('username','foo');\n    $p->set('password','bar');\n    $this->getRequest()->setMethod('POST');\n    $this->getRequest()->setPost($p);\n    $this->dispatch('\/login');\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This works for me. The Parameters() constructor doesn’t seem to be what you’re expecting it to be.<\/p>\n
    The docs say it takes an array, but I could only get it to work this way. The Stdlib\\Parameters() constructor doesn’t seem to do anything with the array passed in.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
