PHPUnit Test

Why are you running it that way?

@deepu07 you can achieve the same using this check:

if(config('app.env') === 'testing') 
{
    ...
}   

@tray2 My app is integrated with the 3rd API. whenever I'm running test cases I jus wanna ignore the 3rd party logic.

@nakov if I do dd(config('app.env')); it is giving back 'local' from .env file. It is not giving 'testing`...

@deepu07 how do you test this? Are you running a test to test this or?

Create a .env.testing file then and override those values. Don't understand why your phpunit.xml file is not read, is it maybe broken for some reason? Any errors in your IDE?

@nakov yes. I'm testing by running a test-case. Created a .env.testing file still no luck. that sucks.

@deepu07 can you please check if in your config/app.php file for some reason you are hard-coding the env to local?

it should be this one:

'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production'),

Try running:

php artisan config:clear

afterwards.

@nakov it looks same in config/app.php file 'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production'), also I cleared cache couple times..

@deepu07 are you running this locally, are you using docker maybe?

What I've seen used also is this:

<env name="APP_ENV" value="testing" force="true"/>

so the force attribute will force this value to be used. Can you check that please?

@nakov I'm using docker for a database connection. is something making noise? after adding force=true it is working finally. Thanks boss. but still wondering what makes overriding the env value without force...

@deepu07 here is another answer on this:

:) I thought you were using docker.

oh yeah. that makes sense. I was using docker for the database connection. anyways you made my day though. Thank you so much.
