Node list is empty: button is glyphicon

Question

A functional test with $form = $crawler->selectButton('input[type=submit]')->form(); fails with

The current node list is empty

Source code:

<form action="/household/_search" class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search">
    <div class="form-group">
        <input type="text" name="qtext" method="get" class="form-control" placeholder="Full name or ID">
    </div>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span></button>
</form>

The result is the same with:

selectButton('.btn')
filterXPath('span[@class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"]')
filter('navbar-form')
filter('.btn')
filter('input[type="submit"]')
filter('input[type=submit]')

What is the correct selector?

You don't have an input of the type submit, you have a button with the type submit.

$form = $crawler->selectButton('button[type=submit]')->form();

This unfortunately also results in `node list is empty`. That and `button[type="submit"]`. – geoB May 10 '16 at 15:17

As you can see on the documentation, to get a form in the crawler, it should match the id or name for buttons.

Assume your button has an id="submit-form" then your form in test should :

$crawler->selectButton('submit-form')->form();

Check here for the doc. Hope it will help

This is close enough. The eventual solution required clearing the test cache and modifying the source code to fit the test. The form tag was modified to include `id="household_search"` and the test was modified to `$form = $crawler->filter('#household_search')->form();` – geoB May 10 '16 at 16:20
Oh yeah almost there :) – Anthony Matignon May 10 '16 at 16:30
