What's Changed

20 new methods. No breaking changes, no new configuration options, no new traits.
PHP ^8.2 · Symfony 5.4 · 6.4 · 7.4 · 8.1

🗄️ Doctrine

Method
`grabEntityManager()`	The EntityManager on the Actor, honouring `em_service`.
`resetDoctrineManager()`	Reopens an EntityManager closed by a failed `flush()`. Clears it if still open.
`seeDoctrineSchemaIsValid()`	In-process `doctrine:schema:validate`.
`seeNumQueriesIsLessThan()`	N+1 guard.
`dontSeeDuplicateQueries()`	N+1 guard.

$I->amOnPage('/register');
$I->resetDoctrineManager();
$I->seeNumRecords(1, User::class);

🧩 Services

Method
`grabContainer()`	The test container — private services included.
`mockService()` / `unmockService()`	Swap a service for a double. Survives kernel reboots.

$I->mockService('http_client', new MockHttpClient($responses));

🔐 Security

Method
`seeUserIsGranted()` / `dontSeeUserIsGranted()`	Runs the app's voters — with a subject.

$I->seeUserIsGranted('EDIT', $post);

📨 Messenger

Note

Requires symfony/messenger >= 6.3.

Method
`grabMessengerTransport()`	The in-memory transport itself.
`seeMessengerTransportContains()`	A message class is queued.
`seeMessengerQueueCount()`	Pending count — sent minus acknowledged or rejected.
`consumeMessengerMessages()`	Handles queued envelopes in-process.

$I->seeMessengerQueueCount(1, 'async');
$I->consumeMessengerMessages('async');

🖥️ Console

Note

Requires Symfony 8.1. runSymfonyConsoleCommand() is unchanged and remains the path for earlier versions.

Method
`runCommand()`	Returns an `ExecutionResult`: status code, stdout and stderr separately.
`assertCommandIsSuccessful()`
`assertCommandFailed()`
`assertCommandIsInvalid()`
`assertCommandResultEquals()`

$result = $I->runCommand('app:import', ['--dry-run' => true]);
$I->assertCommandIsSuccessful($result);

🔔 Session

Method
`assertSessionHasFlashMessage()`	Non-destructive — reads the flash bag with `peek()`.

$I->assertSessionHasFlashMessage('success', 'Your changes were saved.');

🛠️ Also

_getEntityManager() reopens a closed manager, so one failed write no longer cascades through the test.
Clearer failure when the em_service service is missing or is the wrong type.
Internal-domain lookup is now O(N) instead of O(N²).

3.10.027 Jun 2026Deprecated

Profiler: Fixed profiler service deprecation by switching to the non-deprecated internal service ID. ([ #237 ])

Minor release featuring two new assertion trait groups, Symfony 8.1 test support, plus DX, performance, and bug fixes.

🚀 New Features

Messenger Assertions

Introduced MessengerAssertionsTrait for testing dispatched messages ([#241]):

seeMessageDispatched()
dontSeeMessageDispatched()
seeDispatchedMessageCount()
grabDispatchedMessageClasses()

Symfony-Inherited Assertions

Ported directly from Symfony's own test helpers ([#240]):

Browser: assertBrowserHistoryIsOnFirstPage(), assertBrowserHistoryIsNotOnFirstPage(), assertBrowserHistoryIsOnLastPage(), assertBrowserHistoryIsNotOnLastPage()
DomCrawler: assertSelectorCount(), assertAnySelectorTextContains(), assertAnySelectorTextSame(), assertAnySelectorTextNotContains()
Mailer: getMailerEvents(), getMailerMessages(), getMailerMessage()
Mime: assertEmailAddressNotContains(), assertEmailSubjectContains(), assertEmailSubjectNotContains()

🔄 Changed

Mail/Mime Assertions Refactor

Assertions now operate on RawMessage instead of Email to support any sent message type ([#232]):

grabLastSentEmail() return type widened from ?Email to ?RawMessage.
assertEmailAddressContains(), assertEmailHasHeader(), assertEmailNotHasHeader(), assertEmailHeaderSame(), and assertEmailHeaderNotSame() now accept ?Message instead of ?Email.

⚠️ Important Runtime Note:
The object returned by grabLastSentEmail() remains an Email instance at runtime, but its declared type is now the wider RawMessage. If your tests rely on Email-specific methods (like ->getTo() or ->getSubject()), you must explicitly narrow the type using instanceof Email or a type cast. Alternatively, migrate to the new assertEmailSubjectContains() or header assertions where possible.

Quality of Life & Performance

Improved DX, type safety, and performance across all assertion traits by adding/tightening type hints and reducing redundant operations in hot paths. ([#235], [#234])

🐛 Fixed

Doctrine: Fixed missing security context in Doctrine entity listeners after a kernel reboot. ([#236])
Profiler: Fixed profiler service deprecation by switching to the non-deprecated internal service ID. ([#237])

🛠️ Maintenance

Added Symfony 8.1 to the test matrix and included symfony/messenger as an unchanged dev dependency. ([#243])
Applied the 7.4 reset-formats patch using GNU patch (fuzz) and pinned codeception/module-rest to ^3.4 in the functional suite. ([#242])
