Instead of relying on HTTP status code as integer in your code, which might look like magic values to some, it might be more readable to use the new constants provided by the Symfony Response class in 2.4:

1
2
3
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

$this->assertEquals(Response::HTTP_OK, $response->getStatusCode());

See the Response class for a full list of supported constants.

Just FYI, this list of constant has been part of FOSRestBundle (and the FOSRest lib which is now deprecated) for a while but its of course much more convenient to have it right in core.

I was wondering why we didn't have this feature before. Little but awesome :)
