PHPUnit Always Takes Me To Login Page,. Regardless Of What I Do
So I am having a bit of an interesting problem. I am trying to build a forum for my website. I am trying to create a test that ensures registered users can submit new forum threads. Now, regardless of what I do, the test always ends up at the login paghe, even though I am logged in.
Here is something interesting, however, when I attempt to dd()
the thread immediately after creation, Laravel seems to "skip over" the dd
command and I end up with the "Thread title not found on the login page" error. I can dd()
the $request
object and that prints out fine, however, it seems after creating a new Thread model does Laravel skip over the dd($thread)
command and I end up getting the login page once again.
I am pulling my hair out. Why is this happening?

Answer
When you make
a new model using the factory
helper, it doesn't have an ID
for example
So $thread->path()
will return just "/forum/threads/"
which is not what you want
You have to make the request to the location from the response or query the newly created Thread record
public function test_users_can_create_statuses()
{
$this->be(factory('App\User')->create());
$thread = factory('App\Thread')->make();
$response = $this->post('/forum/threads', $thread->toArray());
$this->get($response->headers->get('Location'))
->assertSee($thread->title);
->assertSee($thread->body);
}
