By calling :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Tester\\CommandTester::setInputs`,
302309
you imitate what the console would do internally with all user input through the CLI.
310+
This method takes an array as only argument with, for each input that the command expects,
311+
a string representing what the user would have type.
303312
This way you can test any user interaction (even complex ones) by passing the appropriate inputs.
313+
314+
.. note::
315+
The :class:`Symfony\Component\Console\Tester\CommandTester` automatically simulates a user hitting
316+
``ENTER`` after each input, no need for passing an additional input.
