How to assert after a job queue is pushed?

I have a job under queue that does some calculations and then saves it in DB.

Now I have the job test code

Queue::fake();

$user = User::first();

Queue::assertPushed(TheJob::class);

// confirm user's new data
$user->fresh() // still the job queue's calculations are not reflected.

My question is, how can I confirm that the queue's calculated data now exists in DB?

@chaudigv You don’t if you’re faking the queue. If the faking the queue, then the job isn’t executed.

So work out what it is you actually want to test: do you want to assert the job was pushed to the queue? Or do you want to assert that the job did what it was supposed to do?

I need to assert that a Job was dispatched and assert the calculated data after it's completion.

In such case, I can have two tests. One to assert the Job using Queue:fake(). And another one without the fake so it actually runs and I can assert the calculated values.

@chaudigv You probably want to (unit) test whatever your job is doing and test that your job is being dispatched. Everything in between is already tested in the framework itself.

I am doing this:

Queue::assertPushed(MyJob::class, function ($job) {
    $job->handle();
    return true;
});
