Because you are already not dispatching your first job. The logic for dispatching gets faked and you can only assert that the first job was dispatched.

Why I am unable to assert that a job has not been dispatched?
I have the following job:
namespace App\Jobs;
use App\Jobs\AnothertJob;
class MyJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
public function handle()
{
AnothertJob::dispatchNow();
}
}
And I have the AnothertJob as well:
namespace App\Jobs;
class AnothertJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
public function handle()
{
}
}
And I try to test the MyJob job like this:
namespace Test\Jobs;
use App\Jobs\MyJob;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Bus;
public function MyJobTest extends TestCase
{
public function testDispatchesAnotherJob()
{
Bus::fake();
MyJob::dispatch();
Bus::assertDispatched(AnothertJob::class);
}
}
But I get the following error:
F 1 / 1 (100%)
Time: 6.31 seconds, Memory: 40.00 MB
There was 1 failure:
1) Tests\Jobs\MyJobTest::testDispatchesAnotherJob
The expected [App\Jobs\AnothertJob] job was not dispatched.
Failed asserting that false is true.

The laravel version is the 5.7 one (Yes we are using an old version of the laravel in my job) and I have trouble to assert that a job has been dispatched.
I also tried to use theQueue::fake as well but still fail to assert that a job has been dispatched as well:
namespace Test\Jobs;
use App\Jobs\MyJob;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Queue;
public function MyJobTest extends TestCase
{
public function testDispatchesAnotherJob()
{
Queue::fake();
MyJob::dispatch();
Queue::assertPushed(AnothertJob::class);
}
}
Level 1
So how I can assert that a job dispatches an another job?
Level 8
@ddesyllas you can do that by calling the handle method on the job because if you dispatch it it won't work process because you have already called the fake on the Queue/Bus which stops the job processing. I think something like this should work
namespace Test\Jobs;
use App\Jobs\MyJob;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Queue;
public function MyJobTest extends TestCase
{
public function testDispatchesAnotherJob()
{
Queue::fake();
(new MyJob())->handle();
Queue::assertPushed(AnothertJob::class);
}
}
Level 61
Either use job chains (you can assert that) or test your job and assert that it dispatched the job (which I do not recommend).
// Assert a job was pushed with a specific chain...
\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Queue::assertPushedWithChain(ShipOrder::class, [
AnotherJob::class,
FinalJob::class
]);
Level 1
So how I can launch the queue worker so it can read the appropriate settings from phpunit.xml so it can run the job dispatches in an isolated environment?
Level 61
You do not run the queue worker when running the tests.
Level 1
But I can do it via exec('php artisan queue:listen');
Level 61
You do not need that. That is handled by the testing framework.
Level 46
i think you forgot this line in test file.
use App\Jobs\AnothertJob;
