Hi all
So I have something I don't understand and was hoping one of you laravel-ers could help me.
I have written a test to see if I can trash a model. This is what I have...
class SurveysControllerTest extends TestCase
{
use DatabaseTransactions;
function user()
{
return factory(\App\UserManager\Users\User::class)->create();
}
function survey()
{
return factory(\App\SurveyHound\Survey::class)->create();
}
/** @test */
function it_trashes_the_survey()
{
$survey = $this->survey();
$this->actingAs($this->user())
->visit('/surveyhound')
->see($survey->title)
->press('Delete')
->seePageIs('/surveyhound')
->see('You have successfully trashed the survey')
->dontSee($survey->title);
}
Now if I have an empty table in my database then the code passes, however if I go onto my web app and enter a new survey, then run my test again it fails.
Can anyone explain why this happens?
Be kind I'm new to testing!
@bencarter78 fails with what error message? Maybe your code is trying to grab the first survey thus the tests are asserting against the manual inserted survey instead of the test-created survey? More details of the failing test is needed in order to help you
Hi @kfirba The error is...
Failed asserting that
...
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered">
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Frequency</th>
<th class="text-center">Actions</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Vel qui ab neque ipsam cum.</td>
<td>Iusto veniam aut est architecto eum fuga cum.</td>
<td>12</td>
<td class="text-center">
<div class="actions">

</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
...
does not match PCRE pattern "/(Vel qui ab neque ipsam cum\.|Vel qui ab neque ipsam cum\.)/i
It seems like it's trashing the first record it finds rather than the one it created.
Ah I've just realised my error, I didn't specify which 'Delete' button to press so it's pressing the first one it can find which is of courses the already inserted one.
Thanks for helping me realise my error!
