Hi guys!
Let's say everything is implemented like in Taylor's tutorial
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/quickstart-intermediate#deleting-tasks
If I would like to test lets say $user1 makes a $task, $user2 try to submit delete request and my test shows green but I wonder did I do it right?
/** @test */
public function user_cannot_delete_somebody_else_task()
{
$user1 = factory(App\User::class)->create();
$user2 = factory(App\User::class)->create();
$task = $user1->tasks()->save(factory(App\Task::class)->create());
$response = $this->actingAs($user2)
->call(
'POST',
'/task/'.$task->id,
[
'_token' => csrf_token(),
'_method' => 'DELETE'
]
);
$this->assertEquals(403, $response->status());
}
You can simply check that by running this assersion
// Check if it exists in the database, do this before delete
$this->seeInDatabase('tasks', ['id' => $task->id]);
// Check if it DOES NOT exists in the database, do this after delete
$this->dontSeeInDatabase('tasks', ['id' => $task->id]);

Yes only in this case we should see record in database before and after the request.
