runCommand(): use CommandTester (Enhancement)

[Aerendir]

I'm trying to use the WebTestCase::runCommand() method.

I have yet implemented my unit test to test command, but, as I've anyway extend WebTestBundle to load fixtures, I like to also use other useful methods that the bundle provides.
So II'd like to rewrite my tests to use those methods.

Now I'm working on a command and seen the code of the method WebTestCase::runCommand().

I noted it doesn't use the helpful Symfony\Component\Console\Tester\CommandTester() class: is there a reason for this? Or may be the CommandTester class were released after the WebTestCase::runCommand()?

Can someone help me understand?

yes WebTestCase::runCommand() was created years before Symfony\Component\Console\Tester\CommandTester()

I'll work on it ASAP...

This would be a cool addition, since with the current runCommand there is no status code returned.

Here's what I did:

    $tester = new CommandTester($this->command);
    $this->assertEquals($this->command->getName(), 'my:name');
    $this->assertEquals(0, $tester->execute([]));
    $output = $tester->getOutput();
    $normOutput = $tester->getDisplay()

I've gave it a go in the PR above.

I recently updated and got some issues. CommandTester does not dispatch console events and some tests started failing. Is there a solution?

Are you sure that you're not referencing a different kernel?
