  3. 11.x core/tests/Drupal/Tests/BrowserTestBase.php \Drupal\Tests\BrowserTestBase::getHttpClient()

Obtain the HTTP client for the system under test.

Use this method for arbitrary HTTP requests to the site under test. For most tests, you should not get the HTTP client and instead use navigation methods such as drupalGet() and clickLink() in order to benefit from assertions.

Subclasses which substitute a different Mink driver should override this method and provide a Guzzle client if the Mink driver provides one.

Return value

\GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface The client with BrowserTestBase configuration.

Throws

\RuntimeException If the Mink driver does not support a Guzzle HTTP client, throw an exception.
