I would remove csrf token checking from the test class with withoutMiddleware.

Test form with CSRF token in meta tag
I'm trying to write a test that checks for a response, but my forms are submitted via ajax using jQuery and csrf token is fetched from the meta tag, which is included on each page.
Is there a way to add the token to the test call? What I have so far is:
$this->visit('register')
->type('non email value', 'email')
->press('REGISTER');
$this->see('Invalid email address');

Thanks @zachleigh. This will work for this specific scenario, but what if I wanted to test the form for middleware, but without sending the csrf with the php request token?

I think you can use $this->call() instead
$headers = ['X-XSRF-TOKEN' => csrf_token()];
$this->call('GET', 'my/url', [], [], $headers);
