Usage

Generate Resource Test Cases

To get you started run php artisan nova:test resource_name. This will generate a Resource test and publish the NovaResourceTestCase if it was not already published.

First thing you will need to do after creating a resource tests is filling the remapResource() method. This method must map the nova fields names to the resource properties. It's also not needed to map each property of the resource, just the ones that change or are required to be diferent.

protected function remapResource($resource): array
{
    return [
        'location' => $resource->location_id,
        'theme' => $resource->theme_id,
    ];
}

The $resource parameter is a fresh generated model instance via factory() and therefore should hold any necessary values you need. The $data parameter is only filled if you call a nova request method with any data like $this->storeResource(['name' => 'test']).

requests

get resources

// retrieve all available resources = viewing the index page
$this->getResources();

// retrieve a single resource = viewing a single resource in detail view
$resource = Resource::factory()->create();
$this->getResources($resource);

store resources

// resource data is generated behind the scenes with factory()->make()
$this->storeResource();

// also accepts model classes or arrays
$resource = Resource::factory()->make();
$this->storeResource($resource);
$this->storeResource(['name' => 'Vader']);

If a resource is stored successfully the returned status code of the response is 201.

update resources

// resource data is generated behind the scenes with factory()->create()
$this->updateResource(['name' => 'Vader']);

// accepts model classes
$resource = Resource::factory()->create();
$resource->name = 'Vader';
$this->updateResource($resource);

delete resources

// resource data is generated behind the scenes with factory()->create()
$this->deleteResource();

// also accepts model classes, arrays or integers (ids)
$resource = Resource::factory()->create();
$this->deleteResource($resource);
$this->deleteResource(['id' => 12]);
$this->deleteResource(12);

relationships

$this->assertHasManyRelationships([
    'product',
]);
$this->assertBelongsToRelationships([
    'user',
]);

assertHasOneRelationships(array) assertHasManyRelationships(array) assertBelongsToRelationships(array) assertBelongsToManyRelationships(array) assertMorphToRelationships(array) assertMorphOneRelationships(array) assertMorphManyRelationships(array)

actions

Use assertHasActions()

lenses

use assertHasLenses()

filters

use assertHasFilters()

Asserting a request has failed

Since failed nova request return a redirect with status code 301 we introduced a new method assertNovaFailed() which checks for this without having to think about what status code a failed nova response returns.

$this->storeResource()
  ->assertNovaFailed();

Testing required fields

To test if your Nova resource is setup correctly and check if all required fields are set as expected you can use the setNullValuesOn([..]) method, which assignes every key you enter a null value for the next request.

$this->setNullValuesOn(['customer', 'number_of_participants'])
  ->storeResource()
  ->assertRequiredFields(['customer', 'number_of_participants']);

Using the default user

By default each nova request method checks whether a request was already authenticated through actingAs($user, 'api'). If no user was provided to authenticate the request we will use the getDefaultUser() method to authenticate your request. If you want to be explicit about using the default user for a request you can use $this->beDefaultUser() which will return the current class, therefore it will also work with chaining e.g. $this->beDefaultUser()->storeResource().

If you want to use your own user for every request you can override the getDefaultUser() method.

protected function getDefaultUser()
{
    return $this->yourOwnUser;
}

Debugging failing requests

To debug more easily why your nova request is failing you can chain assertSessionDoesntHaveErrors() before you make any assertions about the status. This method will dump all session errors and the json response of the request.

$this->storeResource()
  ->assertSessionDoesntHaveErrors();

If you still can't figure out why you are receiving the status code of the response, try to get behind the reason of the response with withoutNovaExceptionHandling(). This method call will create a callback which calls the underlying withoutExceptionHandling() as soon as the Nova middleware runs. You can also chain the calls:

$this->withoutNovaExceptionHandling()
  ->storeResource();

Testing

Run the tests with:
