Testing

Creating a resource with a test file

By adding the --test flag to the moonshine:resource command, you can generate a test file along with a basic set of tests:

php artisan moonshine:resource PostResource --test

In addition to creating the resource, the above command will generate the following test file tests/Feature/PostResourceTest.php. If you prefer Pest, you can specify the --pest option:

php artisan moonshine:resource PostResource --pest

Example of a test for a successful response from the resource's main page:

public function test_index_page_successful(): void
{
    $response = $this->get(
        $this->getResource()->getIndexPageUrl()
    )->assertSuccessful();
}

Setting up an authenticated user

Although testing MoonShine resources is no different from standard testing of your application, and setting up an authenticated user for a request should not be difficult, we will provide an example anyway:

protected function setUp(): void
{
    parent::setUp();
 
    $user = MoonshineUser::factory()->create();
 
    $this->be($user, 'moonshine');
}
