This package lets you test if Laravel events has been broadcasted. This is useful for TDD and End-to-end testing.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install the package via composer:

```
composer require GENL/laravel-broadcast-testing
```

2. Add the test broadcaster to the `connections` array in `app/config/broadcasting.php`.

```
'connections' => [
    ...
    'test' => [
        'driver' => 'test'
    ],
],
```

3. Set the default broadcaster for testing in the `php` element of `phpunit.xml`.

```

    ...

```

4. Finally add the `Genl\TestBroadcaster\CanTestBroadcasting` trait to `tests/TestCase.php`.

```
use Genl\TestBroadcaster\CanTestBroadcasting;
abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CanTestBroadcasting;
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package adds the `assertEventBroadcasted` method to your testing.

```
/**
 * @test
 */
public function it_can_assert_when_an_event_is_broadcasted()
{
    event(new TestEvent());
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class);
}
```

Futhermore it is also possible to test for how many times an even is broadcasted

```
/**
 * @test
 */
public function it_can_assert_if_an_event_was_broadcasted_a_given_amount_of_times()
{
    event(new TestEvent());
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, 1);

    event(new TestEvent());
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, 2);
}
```

```
/**
 * @test
 */
public function it_can_assert_if_an_event_was_broadcasted_a_given_amount_of_times()
{
    event(new TestEvent());
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, 1);

    event(new TestEvent());
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, 2);
}
```

The `assertEventWasBroadcast` method can also assert on which channels the event is broadcasted to. It can either take a single string, for a single channel, or an array of channel names.

```
/**
 * @test
 */
public function it_can_assert_if_an_event_was_broadcasted_on_multiple_channels()
{
    event(new TestEvent());

    //
    $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, ['private-channel-name', 'private-another-channel-name']);

    try {
        $this->assertEventWasBroadcast(TestEvent::class, [
            'private-channel-name',
            'somethingelse-fake-channel',
        ]);
        $this->fail("assertEventBroadcasted asserted that an event was broadcasted on given channels when it wasn't");
    } catch (ExpectationFailedException $e) {
    }
}
```
