Verify Token is Token Laravel Passport - laravel

Question

I was recently updating from laravel's sanctum to passport; and there is this one test that bothers me a lot.
In sanctum there is this method under the PersonalAccessToken model that finds the token and returns the token if it exists.
I don't seem to find anything like that in the docs or online.
I'm validating the test by asserting that $user->tokens is not empty... yet I wish to validate that the token I'm returning from my login controller is indeed a token; not just the creation;
Thnx in advance...
Login Test
public function user_can_login()
{
//$this->withoutExceptionHandling();
$user = User::factory()->create();
$url = route('api.v1.auth.login', [
'email' => $user->email,
'password' => 'password'
]);
$res = $this->jsonApi()
->post($url)
->assertStatus(200);
$token = $res->json(['access_token']);
$this->assertNotEmpty($user->tokens);
}
Login method in authcontroller
public function login(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
]);
$credentials = $request->only(['email', 'password']);
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
$user = Auth::user();
$access_token = $user->createToken('laravel-api.local')->accessToken;
return response()->json(['access_token' => $access_token], 200);
} else {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
}
pues:dont know why im writing the code, but just for ref of what i'm doing

solution is quite simple... you'll find it here... I had an issue when I tried that before hand and it seems to be with the use of the Route::name('name') method and the route('name') function threw a server error. but if you call the path directly it should work...
any who... authController and login method stay the same but the test changes to...
public function setUp(): void
{
parent::setUp();
Route::middleware('auth:api')
->get('/test-route', function (Request $request) {
return $request->user();
});
$clientRepository = new ClientRepository();
$client = $clientRepository->createPersonalAccessClient(
null,
'Personal Access Client Test',
'/'
);
DB::table('oauth_personal_access_clients')->insert([
'client_id' => $client->id,
'created_at' => date('Y-m-d'),
'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d'),
]);
}
/** #test */
public function user_can_login_with_correct_credentials()
{
//$this->withoutExceptionHandling();
$user = User::factory()->create();
$url = route('api.v1.auth.login', [
'email' => $user->email,
'password' => 'password',
'device_name' => $user->name . ' test Device'
]);
$res = $this->jsonApi()
->post($url)
->assertStatus(200);
$token = $res->json(['access_token']);
$this->jsonApi()
->withHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' . $token)
->get('/test-route')
->assertStatus(200);
}
