I have a newly installed Laravel 6.4 application running and now trying to get tests working with PHPunit. I want to make configuration changes in .env.testing but any changes in here seem to be ignored.
phpunit.xml contains this:
<php>
<server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
</php>
And I have also have included $app->loadEnvironmentFrom('/var/www/api/.env.testing'); into tests/CreatesApplication.php createApplication() method. All paths are correct so I don't understand why it is not reading the file. I've found similar mentions of this issue when googling but none have helped me resolve the issue.
I am running PHPunit with the command vendor/bin/phpunit. Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try?
I have installed a fresh Laravel project. I tried to set different database for PHPUnit testing, by adding "DB_DATABASE" And adding "use DatabaseMigrations" trait inside the test..
<server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="DB_DATABASE" value="test_homestead" />
But I am getting this error:
1) Tests\Feature\ViewArticleTest::user_can_view_an_article
Illuminate\Database\QueryException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'test_homestead' (SQL: SHOW FULL TABLES WHERE table_type = 'BASE TABLE')`
The error indicates that your test_homestead isn't available in your MySQL.
You should create a database by perform CREATE DATABASE test_homestead; in MySQL.
Or
Change the value in <server name="DB_DATABASE" value="test_homestead" /> to your desirable existing database name.
I am using Laravel 5.5, phpunit 6.5.5 on Homestead-7 (I think).
I am trying this tutorial: https://laravel-news.com/your-first-laravel-application (And this should tell you a lot about my experience with the framework)
Testing fails (due to TokenMismatchException) and I have managed to track down the root cause to the APP_ENV variable being set to local, although I've tried many ways of setting it to testing.
At the end, what allowed me to overcome the problem was to set the variable like this:
APP_ENV=testing vendor/bin/phpunit
Then, the tests completed successfully.
My question is, what am I doing wrong? The above hack is obviously not the best way to do it. There must be a way to properly do this.

Thank you in advance for your time.
From the Laravel docs:
When running tests via phpunit, Laravel will automatically set the configuration environment to testing because of the environment variables defined in the phpunit.xml file.
...so I would bet that your phpunit.xml file is missing or misconfigured. It should be in your project's root directory and should contain the following:
<php>
<env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
...
</php>
If you do have a phpunit.xml file in the right place and it does contain the part above, and it's still not working, then try clearing your config cache:
php artisan config:clear
If that still doesn't fix it, then I'd check for something odd with the phpunit.xml file, such as being misnamed or containing a syntax error.
And here's a link to the original phpunit.xml file, to help you restore it if needed.
I managed to find the problem with my system. In my homestead box, I had included in Homestead.yaml setting of global environment variable APP_ENV:
variables:
- key: APP_ENV
- value: local
This was provided as an example in the instructions for Homestead set up. I followed that without realising what I was doing.
Setting again the variable through .env or phpunit.xml just did not work. I removed the definition from Homestead.yaml and it works as I would have expected.
i am new in Laravel. Using local development environment with Homestead
Try to run simple test
namespace Tests\Feature;
use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
class UserTest extends TestCase
{
/**
* A basic test example.
*
* #return void
*/
public function testBasicTest()
{
$response = $this->get('/');
$response->assertStatus(200);
}
}
routes/web.php :
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('main');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
running phpunit returns 404 error
vagrant#homestead:~/code/laravel$ phpunit PHPUnit 6.4.3 by Sebastian
Bergmann and contributors.
.F. 3
/ 3 (100%)
Time: 1.07 seconds, Memory: 10.00MB
There was 1 failure:
1) Tests\Feature\UserTest::testBasicTest Expected status code 200 but
received 404. Failed asserting that false is true.
/home/vagrant/code/laravel/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/TestResponse.php:78
/home/vagrant/code/laravel/tests/Feature/UserTest.php:25
I have tried to fix it with these ways
1.
Laravel phpunit always 404
updateTestCase.php
protected $baseUrl = 'http://localhost'
change with
protected $baseUrl = 'http://laravel.local'
2.
https://github.com/dingo/api/issues/540 and next to it
https://github.com/dingo/api/issues/571
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;
class BankTest extends TestCase {
use WithoutMiddleware;
Changing APP_URL in .env to
APP_URL=laravel.local
none of this helped
'laravel.local' works fine in browser
Please, help me fix it
I was running my application with following URL in browser.
http://localhost/app/public/
The default unit test having below line was failing. It was getting 404 response instead of 200.
$response = $this->get('/');
$response->assertStatus(200);
I changed APP_URL in .env file as below after reading above comments.
APP_URL=http://localhost
But I was still getting 404 error. After some trial and errors, I found that I needed to clear config cache.
php artisan config:cache
This did the trick and my test started working!!
I had the same problem, and if I run laravel with php artisan serve, it has to be:
APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000/
The APP_URL, has to be exactly the URL of the website.
The website was working, but I didn't have that constant correctly, and PHPUnit was saying all time 404.
Don't forget to clear the cache, after change the config
php artisan config:cache
Have you tried with process isolation set to true in your phpunit.xml file? Our functional tests fail with 404 errors all over the place if we do not have process isolation:
<phpunit backupGlobals="false"
backupStaticAttributes="false"
bootstrap="bootstrap/autoload.php"
colors="true"
convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
convertWarningsToExceptions="true"
processIsolation="true"
stopOnFailure="false">
For anyone having this problem, use APP_URL=http://localhost, this happens if you use vagrant I am not sure for other envs, still investigating.
Laravel tests run and expect environment variables. They expect variables like ENV_URL, ENV_KEY,... depending on your test case.
It is important that the ENV_URL variable is set to http://localhost disregarding your laravel/server setup. Tests work differently here.
Inside phpunit.xml, the line <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/> specifies which testing file to use. value="testing" expects a to use the .env.testing file, if it exists and fallbacks to .env.
There are two approaches that you can do from here on:
Approach A - Using .env.testing:
Create a copy of .env and name it .env.testing.
Verfiy that phpunit.xml includes the .env.testing file, like following <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
IMPORTANT Edit the .env.testing to use APP_URL=http://localhost as its URL. It doesn't matter under which URL you usually serve your application.
Edit other values to reflect your testing environment
Delete cache using php artisan cache:clear
Approach B - ENV values in phpunit.xml:
You can harcode all ENV values inside the phpunit.xml, like below
...
<php>
<server name="APP_URL" value="http://localhost"/>
<server name="APP_KEY" value="base64:e8+BZAzKrSR/LprdHQ2TfMaw+DOTWYmgpkFkEJHV+zw="/>
<server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="mysql"/>
<server name="DB_HOST" value="127.0.0.1"/>
<!-- More ENV values -->
...
<server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<!-- <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/> -->
<!-- <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/> -->
<server name="MAIL_MAILER" value="array"/>
<server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="TELESCOPE_ENABLED" value="false"/>
</php>
</phpunit>
Bonus - Hybrid Approach:
Use the main .env file and overwrite the APP_URL inside the phpunit.xml.
For this, there should not exist an .env.testing file or remove <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/> if it does exist.
...
<php>
<server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<!-- IMPORTANT - Overwrite the APP_URL -->
<server name="APP_URL" value="http://localhost"/>
<server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<!-- <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/> -->
<!-- <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/> -->
<server name="MAIL_MAILER" value="array"/>
<server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<server name="TELESCOPE_ENABLED" value="false"/>
</php>
</phpunit>
The solution is to simply test using the url returned by
php artisan serve
as base url then run the tests
For example:
$response = $this->post('http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/register', [
'email' => '',
'phone' => '',
'password' => '',
'c_password' => '',
'role_id' => '',
]);
$response->assertStatus(401);
As #TooCooL mentioned, one could set APP_URL=http://localhost even if your project might be something as APP_URL=http://localhost/myproject.
Even better is to create another .env, it shall be called env.testing and there one can change APP_URL or even another database for testing purposes only and so on.
Phpunit will look for configuration at that file .env.testing
Although phpunit works fine even when APP_URL is set on my vhost name on my lamp stack.
Check out your /etc/hosts file as well.
Just for Laravel 8 devs.
Use full url inside get method
$response = $this->get('http://127.0.0.1:8000');
Leave APP_URL blank in .env file ie
APP_URL=
I want to seperate my tests from the actual database. I configuted it following a tutorial from laracasts but it does not seem to actually use the configured stuff. This is my phpunit.xml (relevant part)
<php>
<env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
<env name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
<env name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<env name="QUEUE_DRIVER" value="sync"/>
</php>
I noticed it will always use my actual database instead of this configured one.
I run tests by going into vendor/bin and executing phpunit ../../tests for some reason I can not figure out it won't run out of my root directory even though i ve installed phpunit globally
I've found it myself. The problem is that I', starting from vendor/bin folder. My starting point must be the root. So I now use
call vendor/bin/phpunit
From my root directory
