Can't select a checkbox from a group of checkboxes

I'm trying to write a simple unit test to tick a few checkboxes from a group of checkboxes and then submit the form. The names of the checkboxes are all "answer_id[]" so that I can receive them as an array when the form is submitted.

I wrote:

$this->visit('/start')
             ->see($this->question->text)
             ->check("answer_id[]")
         ->press("Submit");

but when I run the test I get this error message:

InvalidArgumentException: Unreachable field ""

Any one know what's going on?

This has been kinda buggy for a while now, this seems to fix it: https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/9058/files

This means that you need to use the submitForm function instead!

$this->visit('/start')
    ->see($this->question->text)
    ->submitForm([
        'answer_id[0]' => '1', 
        'answer_id[1]' => '4',
    ]);
