Unit Testing controller in laravel 8

Question

I am very new to testing in Laravel, I'm working in laravel 8, the function that I want to test is :

When I run my test I get this error:

ErrorException: Trying to get property 'id' of non-object

Thank you for any help!

I think this might help: stackoverflow.com/a/50709981/9920875, because I also think you could be passing in the wrong request namespace instead. — Johhn

Thank you but I defined the "use Illuminate\Http\Request;" in my test function and I don't think that should be the problem . — SouhiStack

@Johhn if that were the case, PHP would complain about the parameter not matching the function signature — miken32

What is $this->user and where is it defined? Please add this code to your question. — miken32

each order has a user_id and in order to create the order we need to make etablish the connection with a user , I order to generate the user I used a "userFactory" wich generate for me the users while testing . — SouhiStack

Usually you don't even need to use the Request class in your tests.

public function testStore()
{
    Sanctum::actingAs($this->user, ['*']);

    $response = $this->postJson('/order/store', [
        'doAssigned' => false,
        'doValidate' => false,
    ]);

    $response->assertJsonPath('status', 'draft');
}

Thank you so much for your help , but I didn't understand what do you mean by "the endpoint" , in my 'api.php' I have : Route::apiResource('order', 'OrderController');

SouhiStack Over a year ago

In my api.php I added the line Route::get('order/store', 'OrderController@store'); but I got the error InvalidArgumentException: Action App\Http\Controllers\App\Http\Controllers\OrderController@store not defined.

The endpoint is order/store. The error you got has to do with namespaces. Instead of action('App\Http\Controllers\OrderController@store') you could try just action('OrderController@store'), but you could just put the endpoint directly in the test. I just edited it.
