Laravel

The LaravelTestHelper is a wrapper for Orchestral Testbench. It allows you to test laravel components using various testing-frameworks, like Codeception.

Prerequisite

To use this component, you must install Orchestral Testbench:

composer require --dev "orchestra/testbench=~3.0"

How to Use

In the below stated example, a codeception's unit test (extends PHP Unit) is being used.

use Codeception\TestCase\Test;
use Aedart\Testing\Laravel\LaravelTestHelper;

class MyUnitTest extends Test
{
    use LaravelTestHelper;

    protected function _before(){
        // Start the Laravel application
        $this->startApplication();
    }

    protected function _after(){
        // Stop the Laravel application
        $this->stopApplication();
    }
    
    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function readSomethingFromConfig(){
        // Calling config, using Laravel defined helper method
        $defaultDbDriver = config('database.default');

        $this->assertSame('mysql', $defaultDbDriver);
    }

    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function readSomethingElseFromConfig(){
        // Get the application instance
        $app = $this->getApplication();
        
        $queueDriver = $app['config']['queue.default'];
        
        $this->assertSame('sync', $queueDriver);
    }
    
    // ... Remaining not shown ... //
}
