Keep getting 'You have requested a non-existent service "test.client"' in Symfony2 Beta3

Question

I'm trying to setup a unit test but whenever I run "phpunit -c app" I get this error:

Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\ServiceNotFoundException: You have requested a non-existent service "test.client".

The code in my test case is just:

public function testNonAuthenticatedPathsIndex()
{
    $client = $this->createClient();
}

If I don't make the call to createClient everything runs correctly. I've checked AppKernel.php to make sure the FrameworkBundle (I believe that's where this service is defined) is definitely still in there and it is.

I'm a bit confused as to what might be causing this as I've managed to do this kind of thing before.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Have you enabled the framework.test option in config_test.yml?

framework:
  test: ~

Answer 2

In phpunit.xml you should have env variable like:

<env name="APP_ENV" value="test"/>

Answer 3

I had this problem with symfony version 3.3.13.

The config_test.yml file was fine, but I did the same mistake.

I solved adding the <server name ="APP_ENV" value="test" /> option under php in the phpunit.xml file
