单击链接后重定向测试不会通过

Question

I am writing some dummy test with PHPUnit for Symfony, in order to know a little more about functionals tests in PHP.

Here is the problem. This is my test method :

//Redirecting test by clicking on href
public function testRedirect() {
    $client = static::createClient();
    $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/redirect');

    $link = $crawler->selectLink('Click me !')->link();
    $client->click($link);

    $crawler2 = $client->followRedirect();
    $this->assertTrue(
            $client->getResponse()->isRedirect()
    );
    $this->assertTrue($crawler2->filter('html:contains("Haha, you\'ve been redirect !")')->count() > 0);
}

This is my link :

<a href="{{ path('redirect2') }}">Click me !</a>

And the message at destination :

Haha, you've been redirect !

I assume that

redirect2

is the name of my route.

Test gives me :

1) AppBundle\Tests\Controller\DefaultControllerTest::testRedirect
LogicException: The request was not redirected.

So my question is : is href considers as a redirection or not ?

Thanks in advance ! Telest,

When you follow the redirect, you're already on the "next" page. Just move the row $crawler2 = $client->followRedirect(); after the the assert
