Hej
I am looking for an elegant way for a Unit test.
my database is looking like:
categories
- id
- name
desks
- id
- name
- something else
categoryable
- categorie_id
- categoryable_id
- categoryable_type
The morph relations itself are working. Now im pulling some arrays from the collections to test via assertEquals, which seems like a really ugly way of doing it.
$this->assertEquals()
Is there something similar way like assertInstanceOf, just for many to many relations?
$this->assertInstanceOf()
For a unit test you could still use assertInstanceOf e.g.
$desk = new Desk();
$this->assertInstanceOf(
'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphMany',
$desk->categoryable()
);
Rinse and repeat for your other relationships. I'm 99% sure that I've used the correct class above but you might need to tweak
You can find the relation types in the API documentation
https://laravel.com/api/5.7/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Relations.html
@D9705996 - Thanks for the right direction!
Actually i'm asserting for a plain Collection. It's working and looking clean.
$desk = create('App\Desk');
$this->assertInstanceOf(
'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection',
$desk->categories
);
