-Adding a Type your Form Depends on
-----------------------------------
+Testings Types from the Service Container
+-----------------------------------------
 
-Your form may depend on other types that are defined as services. It
-might look like this::
+Your form may be used as a service, as it depends on other services (e.g. the
+doctrine entity manager). In these cases, using the above code won't work, as
+the Form component just instantiates the form type without passing any
+arguments to the constructor.
 
-    // src/AppBundle/Form/Type/TestedType.php
-
-    // ... the buildForm method
-    $builder->add('app_test_child_type');
-
-To create your form correctly, you need to make the type available to the
-form factory in your test. The easiest way is to register it manually
-before creating the parent form using the ``PreloadedExtension`` class::
+To solve this, you have to mock the injected dependencies, instantiate your own
+form type and use the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\PreloadedExtension` to
+make sure the ``FormRegistry`` uses the created instance::
 
     // src/AppBundle/Tests/Form/Type/TestedTypeTests.php
     namespace AppBundle\Tests\Form\Type;
 
-    use AppBundle\Form\Type\TestedType;

         {
-            $childType = new TestChildType();

-            ), array()));

-
-    Make sure the child type you add is well tested. Otherwise you may
-    be getting errors that are not related to the form you are currently
-    testing but to its children.
