Http::fake only works if you're actually using the Http class in your code.It doesn't catch all outgoing HTTP calls in your application.
$response = Http::post('my-url');
If you do this, fake should work correctly here.

Http::fake() is ignored and the real HTTP request is being fired to an external API
Hi,
I am trying to test some external API calls with a fake call using the Http client that Laravel provides out of the box, but for some reason I am not getting the fake version that I have specified, instead it just proceeds to hit the API for some reason.
Here's an example code in my test:
$http = app(Factory::class);
$http->fake(function ($request) use($http) {
return $http->response(['Status' => 0], Response::HTTP_OK);
});
After this I do something like:
$response = $this->postJson('my-url', $attributes);
and I get the original response from the external API instead of the fake one that i specified in my test.
Anyone have any ideas what am I missing?

That’s interesting, because for other similar tests, I don’t use the facade (Storage for example) and it works, but it does not work for Http.

Ok so I switched my Factory class to use the Http facade instead and it is working as expected.
Is there an alternative way to use dependency injection for the Http client class?

I believe this issue is related to https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/31565

I solved it by using the facade as a dependency in the constructor, it's close enough to what I am looking for.

@ruffles would you be willing to share the full test example? i'm having some issues with this as well and can't seem to get it going

@carobiscuit just use the Http facade and it will work properly, check the docs for more info.

@davorminchorov I did not understand how you were using the app function in your original post:
$http = app(Factory::class);
I understand it's using a Laravel service container.
But how is it returning an Http client object without mentioning the Http facade name?
And what is the advantage of using it instead of Http::fake ?
I am just an amateur dev trying to learn more here 😊 Appreciate any help or links to articles on the same.

@kspdev Factory is actually Illuminate\Http\Client\Factory so it is the Http factory. Should have been called HttpFactory. app(..) instantiates the object the Laravel way. Same as app()->make(..)

@davorminchorov I found a solution. On my test case there is beforeEach:
beforeEach(function () {
['message' => $this->message, 'chat' => $this->chat, 'lead' => $this->lead] = createLeadDetailsWithChat();
Http::fake([
'https://api.openai.com/v1/*' => Http::response([
'choices' => [
[
'message' => 'Hello',
'finish_reason' => 'stop'
],
],
]),
]);
$this->service = app(AIConversationService::class);
});
And I have test:
test('it should return success next message', function () {
$this->chat->responsible = ChatResponsibleType::AI;
$this->chat->save();
$this->chat->messages()->create([
'message' => $this->message,
'sender' => ChatSender::CLIENT,
'chat_type' => ChatType::WHATSAPP,
]);
$this->chat->refresh();
$nextMessage = $this->service->getChatResponse($this->chat, ChatType::WHATSAPP);
expect($nextMessage)->toBeString();
});
If I move Http:fake from beforeEach to my test it didn't work because Http is creating on my app(AIConversationService::class) here. So Http::fake should be created before create and object of Http
