I'm working on a large Laravel app, currently on v8.45.1 which has never had tests, so I'm working to get it to a point where we can start writing unit & feature tests.
I'm hitting an issue where the two request classes (App\Core\Request and App\Core\FormRequest) both use a trait RequestTrait which holds a set of utility methods.
This obviously works fine in local/staging/production, but when I run the test suite it complains that none of the methods provided by the trait exist:
Method Illuminate\Http\Request::isFromTrustedSource does not exist.
They are being called in various places as Request::isFromTrustedSource() or request()->isFromTrustedSource().
I can imagine that when running the app in the test environment, there may be differences to the request. Is it using a different class, or does the trait not apply for some reason?
I think, I found your problem - App\Core\Request extends Illuminate\Http\Request and in index.php you use App\Core\Request
The problem is in Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\Concerns\MakesHttpRequests::call()
When you use $this->get(...) in test suite - this method bootstrap app with standard request - not with your App\Core\Request
You can override this method in base tests/TestCase.php and pass your own request.
Unfortunately, it has no contract, than you cannot work with this through $this->app->bind()
Something like this:
class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
public function call($method, $uri, $parameters = [], $cookies = [], $files = [], $server = [], $content = null)
{
//other code
$response = $kernel->handle(
$request = \App\Core\Request::createFromBase($symfonyRequest)
);
//other code
}
}
