Laravel Dusk and HTTP::mock()

That should not work since test files and dusk run separately. Maybe you can get away with contextual binding https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/container#contextual-binding but I do not like to pollute my code with test-related stuff.

Hmm. We have one file where all of the APIs are run through. Would there be a way to have everything in the 'controllers' folder re-route to a different API helper? Or would we have to register each controller manually?

Either way, this looks like a nice solution, and would definitely solve our problem. We could then not have the normal tests use mock either and just use a config to switch from using real APIs and Mocked ones.

Would there be a way to have everything in the 'controllers' folder re-route to a different API helper? Or would we have to register each controller manually?

Help me understand why would you do something like that?

What I've suggested will cover that for all of the app. No need to change controllers or re-route things.

I apologize if I'm looking at this the wrong way. So 99% of our controllers will be implementing the API class. We would have one API class that goes and retrieves the desired information from the proper sources, while let's say we have an ApiTest class that would act like the previous class, but instead of using HTTP at all, it would just return the formatted data just like the API class would. Just never hit anything else.

So something like this I guess is what I'm meaning.

$this->app->when(SingleController::class)
          ->needs(App\Helpers\Api::class)
          ->give(function () {
              	if (config('app.is_testing') {
			return App\Helpers\ApiTesting::class;
		} else {
			return App\Helpers\Api::class;
		}
          });

So the way the documentation shows it, I could need to add every controller that uses the API class in. What i'm wondering is if there a way to have every controller in App\Http\Controllers have that needs/give peice. I/E

$this->app->when('App\Http\Controllers')
          ->needs(App\Helpers\Api::class)
          ->give(function () {
              	if (config('app.is_testing') {
			return App\Helpers\ApiTesting::class;
		} else {
			return App\Helpers\Api::class;
		}
          });

So in theory there would be no need to change our controllers and everything would go along just like it has been. This would just be another Api file that it would look at if the app is in 'testing mode' persay.

Then just bind it to container without context based on your app.is_testing config. That way you will cover all of your code that is using that specific class.
