Yii2 Method is not allowed in testing with Codeception

Question

I try to test my code with Codeception and my tests (both functional and acceptance) fails when I test logout option. They fails with "Method is not allowed (405)" because they are sent by GET method. I have this code out of the box within the Nav widget:

$menuItems[] = ['label' => 'Logout (' . Yii::$app->user->identity['username'] . ')',
                                'url' => ['/site/logout'],
                                'linkOptions' => ['data-method' => 'post']

This code works fine when I click the link by hand. In this case they are sent by POST method. But it doesn't work while testing. Why does it happens?

for logout you can add the form as follows, which will send the request using POST

$menuItems[] = '<li>'
        . Html::beginForm(['/site/logout'], 'post')
        . Html::submitButton(
                'Logout ('.Yii::$app->user->identity['username'].')', ['class' => 'btn btn-link btnlogout']
        )
        . Html::endForm()
        . '</li>';

Thank you! It works! So in this case we should include this link in form tag.
