Testing passport protected API

Dear Laravel Folks

I have just set up a small API that is protected via Passport. So far, everything is working well.

Since I will be the only one consuming the API, I simply use \Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class in order to generate and handle my API tokens.

To my question: What is the best way to handle tokens in my application tests? actingAs($user) does not seem to magically add the user's token to the request. I can use $this->withoutMiddleware();, but that feels kind of dirty.

Any ideas or best practices?

Thank you very much for you help!
