<?php

class TodoItemTest extends TestCase {

    public function testCreateTodoItem()
    {
        // Visit create action and get crawler instance
        $crawler = $this->client->request('GET', '/todo-items/create');

        // Check that request returned 200
        $this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isOk());

        // Use selectButton to grap form element and fill in the task input
        $form = $crawler->selectButton('submit')->form(array(
            'task' => 'Test Task'
        ));

        // Submit the form
        $this->client->request(
            $form->getMethod(),
            $form->getUri(),
            $form->getValues()
        );

        // Follow redirect to index action and get new crawler instance
        $crawler = $this->client->followRedirect();

        // Check that redirect returned 200
        $this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isOk());

        // Check that the new todo item is present
        $this->assertCount(1, $crawler->filter('li:contains("Test Task")'));
