Laravel Test Support

Laravel Test Support is an extension package developed for the Laravel project to help simplify writing PHPUnit or Pest tests

Installation

Require this package with composer using the following command:

composer require baijunyao/laravel-test-support

Usage

Modify the tests/TestCase.php file

<?php

namespace Tests;

- use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;
+ use Baijunyao\LaravelTestSupport\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
}

After each test, the base test case truncates every table written by that test. If a matching table seeder exists, it then runs the seeder to restore the table's baseline data. Foreign key constraints are temporarily disabled during cleanup.

Modify the phpunit.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit.xsd"
         bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
         colors="true"
>
