Call to undefined function drupal_execute()

Question

In a drupal8 module install file I have used drupal_execute() function like as follows

drupal_execute("content_copy_import_form", $form_state)

But this resulted in an error

Call to undefined function drupal_execute().

Any solution?

Answer 1

drupal_execute hasn't existed since Drupal 6.

In Drupal 8 you can submit a form programatically like this augmented example from ProgrammaticTest::submitForm:

$values = ['foo' => 'bar'];

// Programmatically submit the given values.
$form_state = (new FormState())->setValues($values);
\Drupal::formBuilder()->submitForm('\Drupal\form_test\Form\FormTestProgrammaticForm', $form_state);
