Laravel - Common classes and services
-------------------------------------

[](#laravel---common-classes-and-services)

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

This are a bunch of `classes` / `traits` that try to add all the missed parts from [Laravel 5.1 new testing integration suite](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/testing) in an attempt to make our testing life even easier

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

#### Environment parameters

[](#environment-parameters)

We will need to setup the following environments parameters in order to make the testing helpers work.

```
FACTORIES_PATH      =   [...]
MIGRATIONS_PATH     =   [...]
MODELS_NAMESPACE    =   [...]

```

We will find the following `Traits` to be used in our `TestCase`:

```
use Motty\Laravel\Common\Testing\Api;
use Motty\Laravel\Common\Testing\CleanDatabase;
use Motty\Laravel\Common\Testing\MigrateDatabase;
use Motty\Laravel\Common\Testing\ResetModelEvents;
use Motty\Laravel\Common\Testing\RelocateFactories;

class ApiTestCase extends TestCase
{
    use Api, CleanDatabase, MigrateDatabase, RelocateFactories, ResetModelEvents;
...
```

##### Traits

[](#traits)

###### Api

[](#api)

This `trait` will provide us with a bunch of methods to help us when testing APIs

```
// Decode as json the response from call and store it on jsonResponse object
getJson()

// Asserts that an object has a specified attributes
assertObjectHasAttributes()

```

###### CleanDatabase

[](#cleandatabase)

Method used to clean the database, this will be a specific method in charge of restart all the autoincrement index, truncate the tables if needed and all the tasks related to prepare the database before each the test case

I was needed to seed the database for each test case independently, however I ran into a problem in where the `autoincrement` value of my tables do not get restarted when `rolling back` or when using a `transaction`

We can use Laravel trait `DatabaseTransactions` to delete all our just saved records after each `test case` however that won't restart the index database's table, which you could need if you need to access any of the elements that you have saved into the database previously.

> Note: This just work at the moment with Postgres database, you could if you whish at a PR for other Database

###### MigrateDatabase

[](#migratedatabase)

Trait used to migrate the database according to our environment parameter MIGRATIONS\_PATH

```
/**
 * @beforeClass
 */
public static function migrateDatabase()
{
    // migrate database according to our environment parameter MIGRATIONS_PATH
    Artisan::call('migrate', ['--path' => env('MIGRATIONS_PATH', 'database/migrations')]);
}
```

###### RelocateFactories

[](#relocatefactories)

Trait used to relocate Factories according to our environment parameter FACTORIES\_PATH, by default Laravel use the factories that are on the path `database/factories` however to override this behaviour and use our own path for the factories is no trivial.

[more info](https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/l51-how-to-change-factories-path-when-using-model-factories)

###### ResetModelEvent

[](#resetmodelevent)

Trait used to reset Models' events after each test to trigger eloquent models events when testing

In order to made this `trait` work we'll need to specify our models like so in our `TestCase` class:

```
protected $models = [
    'Contact',
    'User'
];
```
