After a few minutes of more meddling I found out it appears that, when sending some other value other than a string through phpunit ,the validation "required" seems to suggest that the value is taken as not being sent at all, which makes me believe that "post" request can only use strings. If so, then it's easy to understand why a test like the one I was suggesting wouldn't be necessary.
