Testing File uploads in Symfony2

This was an error in the documentation.

Fixed here:

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile;

$photo = new UploadedFile('/path/to/photo.jpg', 'photo.jpg', 'image/jpeg', 123);
// or
$photo = array('tmp_name' => '/path/to/photo.jpg', 'name' => 'photo.jpg', 'type' => 'image/jpeg', 'size' => 123, 'error' => UPLOAD_ERR_OK);

$client = static::createClient();
$client->request('POST', '/submit', array('name' => 'Fabien'), array('photo' => $photo));

Here is a code which works with Symfony 2.3 (I didn't tried with another version):

I created an photo.jpg image file and put it in Acme\Bundle\Tests\uploads.

Here is an excerpt from Acme\Bundle\Tests\Controller\AcmeTest.php:

function testUpload()
{
    // Open the page
    ...

    // Select the file from the filesystem
    $image = new UploadedFile(
        // Path to the file to send
        dirname(__FILE__).'/../uploads/photo.jpg',
        // Name of the sent file
        'filename.jpg',
        // MIME type
        'image/jpeg',
        // Size of the file
        9988
    );

    // Select the form (adapt it for your needs)
    $form = $crawler->filter('input[type=submit]...')->form();

    // Put the file in the upload field
    $form['... name of your field ....']->upload($image);

    // Send it
    $crawler = $this->client->submit($form);

    // Check that the file has been successfully sent
    //  (in my case the filename is displayed in a <a> link so I check
    //  that it appears on the page)
    $this->assertEquals(
        1,
        $crawler->filter('a:contains("filename.jpg")')->count()
    );
}

I found this article, https://coderwall.com/p/vp52ew/symfony2-unit-testing-uploaded-file, and works perfect.
