Behat payload results in 422 Unprocessable Entity

[lowerends]

I bought Phil's book today and must say it's a good read.

I'm currently writing Behat tests for my API and want to try testing a post with a payload. I have a scenario like this:

Given I have the payload:
        """
        {"name": "foo_name"}
        """
When I request "POST /api/users"
Then I get a "200" response

When running the test, it seems the payload is not sent. Debugging learns that Input::get('name') in my store() function returns 422 Unprocessable Entity.

Other test, without payload, are running fine. Posting the same payload in Chrome's RestClient does work correctly.

Any ideas on what's going on here?

Thanks

@lowerends Have you tried editing to ->$method($resource, array('body' => $this->requestPayload)); ?
