Do not want to disable Middleware and yet get the test to green

My test is as follows:

/** @test */
    public function guests_cannot_create_quiz() {
        //$this->withoutMiddleware();
        $this->post('/quiz/store', [])
            ->assertRedirect('/register');
    }

I'm trying to post an empty array to my route and I expect the system to redirect the user to login page. While I'm not exactly sure if that's the right assertion to make; I'm now thinking maybe I should assert for an exception.

In either case, my controller isn't throwing the right error; which I believe should be 'authentication' exception.

Here's what I'm getting:

Response status code [419] is not a redirect status code.
Failed asserting that false is true.

If I disable the middleware, I get status code [200], because the system ignores the auth middleware and lets the user post.

Can someone help me figure out what's going on?

@thebigk Dump the response to see what Laravel’s giving you back:

$response = $this->post('/quiz/store', []);

$response->dump();

The test will halt and show you the raw response from that request, and you can diagnose the issue from there.
