Unittest Restful Api with Symfony 2

For sending an JSON Request in unittesting your symfony 2 controller/routes use HTTPACCEPT instead of ACCEPT and HTTPCONTENTTYPE insted of CONTENTTYPE.

/**
 * @param string $method
 * @param string $uri
 * @return \Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Response
 */
protected function sendJsonRequest($method, $uri)
{
 $server = array(
 'HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json',
 'HTTP_ACCEPT' => 'application/json',
 );

 $client = static::createClient();
 $client->request($method, $uri, array(), array(), $server);
 return $client->getResponse();
}
