I hope this
The file under validation must be an image (jpeg, png, bmp, gif, or svg)
and this https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/image-validation-the-profile-picture-must-be-an-image?page=1 will help you out.

Testing image upload but it fails when I add validation rule
I am testing image upload via PHPunit by calling a route (/admin/articles) which uses a controller (ArticleController) to upload an image.
$data = [
'heroImage' => UploadedFile::fake()->image('test_image.jpg')
];
// Call a controller via route
$response = $this->actingAs($user)->call('POST', '/admin/articles', $data);
In my ArticleController I have a validation rule
$this->validate($request, [
'heroImage' => 'image|mimes:jpg,png'
]);
When I run tests without the validation rule they pass, but when I add the validation rule they fail.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

No I am not using a form but a phpunit test which calls a route to post the image to controller. So the problem does not lie in the form.
The test passes when I remove mimes:jpg,png from the validator.
I suspect the reason behind is that 'heroImage' => UploadedFile::fake()->image('test_image.jpg') can not fake mime types?
Thanks

Hey @artka54 there is a similar solution here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36408134/how-to-test-file-upload-in-laravel-5-2 it may help you

Yes but I do not want to make stubs but leverage UploadedFile::fake()->image() method instead.

@andreich1980 Nope, I am just uncommenting the rule, but I guess this issue needs to be dealt for seamless CI, but I am not there yet.

Either change it to 'image|mimes:jpeg,png' or 'image|mimetypes:image/jpeg,image/png'

@sutherland I just tried image rule and it worked. Thanks! But only with mimetypes:image/jpeg,image/png. This mimes:jpeg,png still doesn't work :(
@artka54 would you choose the @sutherland 's answer as the best?

All right so for me the problem was that I left out the letter "e" from the "jpg". If I use "jpeg" then both variants work.
Although I fake .jpg file the validation rule has to have 'jpeg'
@andreich1980 could it be the case with you as well?

@andreich1980 @artka54 I think using mimetypes:image/jpeg,image/png is the best solution, because the mime type will always be the same regardless of file extension. I think when using image|mimes:jpeg,png Laravel will try to infer the mime type, which should work, but just isn't as explicit.
