I'm using Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst to test my Catalyst App, more
specifically the process for registering new user accounts.

The application form is generated by Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu
with the expected fields: username, password, confirm_password, email
and the submit => 'Register' button (indicator).

When using the good ol' browser the form is submitted and an email sent
for validation, no problem.

However, making the exact same call with Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
as follows:

my $fields = {
   username => $username,
   password => $password,
   confirm_password => $password,
   password_hint => $password_hint,
   email => $email,
   submit => 'Register'
};

$mech->submit_form(
   form_number => 0,
   fields => $fields,
);

will not work because within the sub register : Global FormConfig of my controller, $form->submitted_and_valid is returning false for some weird
reason.

I tried debugging the HTML::FormFu stuff but this is all very
complicated.

Can anyone help me here?

I'm guessing HTML::FormFu determines that the form is submitted by the value of the input from the submit button (rather that it just being a post request which is my personal preference)

To get WWW::Mechanize to send this value do, call


$mech->submit_form(
    with_fields => $fields,
button => 'submit' # or what ever the name attr of the submit button is.
);
