You say the Update is NOT done and the result is false how do you expect it to be true when the update is NOT done?

Livewire test for an update do not work ?
Hello,
I'm trying Livewire tests, but I'm lost.
The update is not done and the result is false.
What is wrong in my code ?
/** @test */
public function admin_can_update()
{
$user = User::where('admin', true)->first();
$this->actingAs($user);
$author = Author::
where('firstname', 'Nom')
->where('lastname', 'Prénom')
->where('website', 'https://www.nom-prenom.fr/')
->first();
Livewire::test(AdminAuthorForm::class, ['author' => $author])
->set('updateMode', true)
->set('author.firstname', 'Mon nom')
->set('author.lastname', 'Mon prénom')
->set('author.website', 'https://www.nomprenom.fr/')
->call('save');
$result = Author::
where('firstname', 'Mon nom')
->where('lastname', 'Mon prénom')
->where('website', 'https://www.nomprenom.fr/')
->exists();
$this->assertTrue($result);
}
Thanks for your help ;).

@Nakov Ok I understand your answer ... the update should work, so I don't understand why my update does not work.
I just read this error message, but it has no sense for me because my property is Author typed.
Typed property App\Http\Livewire\Admin\AdminAuthorForm::$author must be an instance of App\Models\Author, null used

@vincent15000 no that's not true. In a test environment you usually use different database than the one you use for local testing through the browser. So in tests you usually should create the authors using a Factory
$author = Author::
where('firstname', 'Nom')
->where('lastname', 'Prénom')
->where('website', 'https://www.nom-prenom.fr/')
->first();
->first() returns null if it cannot find the record, so you think it is an Author but that one does not exists.

@Nakov Ok that's right, but I have already tested and dd($author) displays the author as expected. That's why I don't understand why the update doesn't work, whereas it works fine via the browser.

@vincent15000 try instead of ->first() use ->firstOrFail() and tell me if it blows up or it works ?
You tried dd() in the test or in the browser?
Do you have $author in the mount() method as a param, or just as a property? Try setting it:
Livewire::test(AdminAuthorForm::class, ['author' => $author])
->set('author', $author)..
Seeing just your test is hard to say what could be wrong, but there are tons of ways to debug this.

@Nakov I have already tested what you suggest me here. I get an error message saying that there is no validation rules for $author. Yes I initialize the $author in the mount() method. But I effectively have no validation rules for $author because I don't need it in my form.
Level 63
@Nakov Well ... it looks like my $author property is not passed (but I'm not sure) to the Livewire test method.
Level 63
@Nakov Do you have any other suggestions ?

@Nakov Hello that's not exactly the best answer, but this answer helped me to find the problem. Thank you ;).
