I am building on the app Birdboard that was created in the TDD series. I have a bunch of tests from that series that already work, but I'm lacking one to test for updates to the task body of a project. What I'm having trouble with is getting the value of the task.

Here is what I have so far:

function test_updating_a_task() { $this->withoutExceptionHandling();

    $project = ProjectFactory::withTasks(1)->create();

    $this->actingAs($project->owner)
        ->patch($project->tasks[0]->path(), [
            'body' => 'foobar',
            'updated' => true
        ]);

    $this->assertCount(3, $project->activity);

    $this->patch($project->tasks[0]->path(), [
        'body' => 'foobar',
        'updated' => false
    ]);

    $project->refresh();

    $this->assertCount(4, $project->activity);

    $this->assertEquals('updated_task', $project->activity->last()->description);
}

This is the existing Update method in my ProjectTasksController:

public function update(Project $project, Task $task)
{

    $this->authorize('update', $task->project);

    $task->update(request()->validate(['body' => 'required']));


    //catch the changes to the task body and if it changes with complete or incomplete
    request('completed') ? $task->complete() : $task->incomplete();

    return redirect($project->path());
}
