In order to handle the database error connection during a database interaction using eloquent I am using a try - catch statement.
Now I want to turn off the database in one of my phpunit tests to test that behavior. How can I do that?
@spyralex If you want to check the connection see the answers here...

If you want to trigger an exception just throw a new Illuminate\Database\QueryException
There isn't really much need to test a broken connection as that will simply throw an Exception.
@fylzero There is a lot of need. If your application fails gracefully, you need to mock the exception to achieve 100% code coverage.
