Hello,
I wrote the following test but it's not working :
$this->followingRedirects()
->post('/contact-me', $attributes)
->assertSessionHas('contact.success')
->assertStatus(200)
->assertSee('confirm');
It returns :
Session is missing expected key [contact.success].
Failed asserting that false is true.
Obviously it's because of $this->followingRedirects().
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Do you really need all 3 assertions? Is the session key the main thing you are trying to test or would it be enough to check the HTTP status code (200 OK as opposed to some error code) + assertSee? Is there a situation where the session key is NOT set but the rest of the action would be successful and return 200?
You're right, I don't really need all these assertions.
Since the confirmation page can't be displayed if this session variable isn't there, I just wanted to make it clear for my future self. And I have other tests for that so I guess that's OK.
I always have some trouble defining what I need to assert, and always end up doing too much.
But still, I'm curious, would it be possible ?
Checkout the Laracasts flashing package, and see if you can understand how the tests are performed.

The test you mention interacts with objects, not with assertSession method from phpunit
Awesome, thank you.
