Testing oAuth / facebook authentication with WebTestCase in Symfony2

Question

I'm trying to get a FacebookLoginTest running. Problem is: the Symfony2 client does not send real HTTP requests, so it does not work on URLs of other services (like facebook).

I know I could work with cUrl,... but I see so many obstacles there: session, javascript, redirects.

Any ideas how we could get this running? Anyone got a automatic oAuth test running?

Your best bet might be Goutte https://github.com/fabpot/Goutte which is a wrapper around the Sf2 components you're using combined with an HTTP client. Good luck!
