gulp TDD fails - curl works

Hello again.

I'm trying to get back on the horse with TDD and laravel after being stuck in a legacy project for two years. So - I'm doing a standard test to see if my API endpoint exists - like this:

    public function testThatModuleApiEndpointExists()
    {
        $this->json('GET', $this->baseUrl.'/modules' )->seeStatusCode( 200 );
    }

Which gives me the response:

1) ModulesTest::testThatModuleApiEndpointExists
Failed asserting that 500 matches expected 200.

/Users/jonaserlandsson/www/gar.dev/api/tests/ModulesTest.php:9

But when I do it with cURL -i I get a proper response:

→ curl http://api.gar.dev/modules -i

My test-file:

<?php

class ModulesTest extends TestCase
{

    public function testThatModuleApiEndpointExists()
    {
        $this->json('GET', $this->baseUrl.'/modules' )->seeStatusCode( 200 );
    }

    public function testActivatingModuleThatDoesNotHaveAllDependenciesShouldReturnA412WithAnErrorMessage()
    {
        $this->json( 'POST', 'modules/2/activate' )->seeStatusCode( 412 )->seeJsonStructure( [
            'error' => [
                'message',
                'code'
            ]
        ] );
    }
}

Am I missing something vital here? I've also tried without $this->baseUrl so that shouldn't be the case.

Ok. So I found out that the problem relates to that I'm running the tests on my localhost while the webserver runs in a vagrant box. I found out by changing the call to the URI like this instead:

    public function testThatModuleApiEndpointExists()
    {
            $response = $this->call('GET', '/modules');
            var_dump($response);
    }

which gave me the clue on:

Starting test 'ModulesTest::testThatModuleApiEndpointExists'.
object(Dingo\Api\Http\Response)#350 (9) {
  ["binding":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["original"]=>
  array(4) {
    ["message"]=>

    ["status_code"]=>

        [1]=>

After updating the .env to DB_HOST=192.168.10.10 all is good. Hope that can help someone else...
