Laravel Factory creating model but when Database is queried it's not there

@tobyreed can you post code for the test?

You may be only creating the Process object in memory and not saving it yet, or alternatively deleting the saved record once your test has ran.

@automica if what you're saying is am I using the ->make() instead of ->create() I am not. I am using the ->create() method since it persists the data which I need.

And I don't think so, I am creating the Process object in the setUp method which I have used before and it's been working fine.

@tobyreed still, it would be helpful to see the actual code.

@automica here is my setup method:

protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->workspace = factory(Workspace::class)->create();
        $this->workspace->setStatus('Active');

	$this->process = factory(Process::class)->create(['workspace_id' => $this->workspace->id]);

        $this->uniqueProcess = new UniqueProcess($this->workspace);

        $this->faker = Factory::create();
    }

and here is my test code:

/** @test  */
    public function should_fail_process_slug_not_unique_and_test_correct_error_message()
    {
        $this->assertFalse((bool)
        $this->uniqueProcess->passes('slug', $this->process->slug),
            'Should fail using same slug'
        );

        $this->assertSame(
            'The process "'.$this->process->slug.'" should be unique in the workspace',
            $this->uniqueProcess->message()
        );
    }

@tobyreed what does your UniqueProcess class look like?

@automica that class is the class I am testing and it's a validation rule

@tobyreed if you change this to

       $this->assertTrue((bool)
        $this->uniqueProcess->passes('slug', $this->process->slug),
            'Should fail using same slug'
        );

are you then getting a fail?

seeing whats going on in the validation rule would be helpful.

@automica the issue is partially that the test fails. But the main issue and the cause of the test failing is because of the factory, I am able to do this: dd($this->process) and it will return me a Process object. But if I do a dd(Process::all) then it will return an empty array.

The ->passes() method is used to test the data provided and I am checking that it should fail when trying to create two processes with the same slugs when they should be unique.

Hi all

is there a solution about this issue ? I got same problem about factory that sometimes real write to db and i can get it but sometimes failed. here the some result when i test on tinker.

Try to use \DB::commit() in your test.
