Hi,
I want to test the "to", "from" and "subject" of an Mailable in Laravel 5.5.
If I write my test like this, everything is working fine, if the "to" address matches.
Mail::assertSent(NewOffer::class, function ($mail) {
return $mail->hasTo('[email protected]');
});
But if I want to test the "from" and "subject" of this mail, I get null and this test is failing. A dd on $mail->subject and $mail->from or $mail->hasFrom('[email protected]') shows null.
If I go to the site, do what it needs to do to send this mail, everything is fine. The subject and from address matches my configuration.
What do I need to do to test the subject and from address in my test?
Thanks for your help!
Are you creating the mail with Mail::fake()? You could assert against know data by altering your mail fake assertions
Mail::fake();
Mail::assertSent(NewOffer::class, function ($mail) use ($user) {
return $mail->hasTo($user->email) &&
$mail->hasSubject('your-subject') &&
$mail->hasFrom('your-from');
});
I am not positive it will work but worth a try.
Thank you @ejdelmonico for your reply.
I've set up the Mail::fake() call in my setUp() method in this test class. But even if I call it in my test method directly my mail is "empty".
If I dump the $mail variable inside the callback, everything is null, except the to field.
Mail::fake();
// Perform post request
Mail::assertSent(NewOffer::class, function($mail) {
dd($mail);
});
This is the dump:
+from: []
+to: array:1 [
0 => array:2 [
"name" => null
"address" => "[email protected]"
]
]
+cc: []
+bcc: []
+replyTo: []
+subject: null
#markdown: null
+view: null
+textView: null
+viewData: []
+attachments: []
+rawAttachments: []
+callbacks: []
+connection: null
+queue: null
+delay: null
+chained: []
But if I remove the callback, the test passes. And the mail that is sent has an subject and so on.
I've got a temporarily solution after seeing a similar issue at github.
If I call the $mail->build() method inside the callback, all fields in the $mail variable are filled.
But I don't know why.
Mail::assertSent(NewOffer::class, function ($mail) {
$mail->build();
return $mail->hasTo('[email protected]')
&& $mail->hasFrom('[email protected]');
});
And this passed.
Thank you for your solution!
This is something that should either be written in the docs or (better) made behind the scenes.
