Do you have authorization in your controller?

Laravel 6 - TDD App - Expected status code 403 but received 200.
I am working through Build A Laravel App with TDD and I've been stuck on this particular test.
In the file ManageProjectsTest, there is a test called Authenticated user cannot view projects of others.
This is the code I have:
$this->signIn();
$project = factory('App\Project')->create();
$this->get($project->path())->assertStatus(403);
It's the same as the code from the file they provide. However, I keep getting:
Expected status code 403 but received 200. Failed asserting that false is true.
I think the error must be somewhere else, but no luck finding it. Any ideas?

I tried adding that line of code and received: This action is unauthorized.

@thedejavunl Yes, I have that line added. Unfortunately, it doesn't give me much more in the way of explanation. I'm still very new to this. :)

What are you doing in the controller, how did you implement the authorization? Can you share the code for this?

@ajsmith_codes You'll need to add either one of these two options. The reason you are getting that is that you have the route you are testing has a dependency of an authorized signed-in user. So you will need to create a user and log them in before access the route.
$this->actingAs($user = factory(User::class)->create())->get(...
OR
$this->be($user = factory(User::class)->create())->get(...

Thanks, everyone! I had missed adding $this->signIn() to that particular test. After that, it worked.
