Problem with HTTP headers in test

Hi guys, I'm facing a problem with some application tests. I'm using Laravel 5.7.

I have a test like this one

$response = $this->withHeaders([
    'X-App-Version' => 2,
    'X-App-Token' => '<token>',
])->json('POST', '/api/register', [
    <params>
]);

$response->assertStatus(200)
    ->assertJsonFragment([
        'status_code' => 0,
    ]);

Also I have a RouteServiceProvider where I load the proper routes file based on HTTP header provided

protected function mapApiRoutes()
{
    info(request()->headers); // In test is always empty

    $version = request()->header('X-App-Version', 1);

    switch ($version) {
            case 1:
                Route::prefix('api')
                    ->middleware('api')
                    ->namespace('App\V1\Controllers\API')
                    ->group(base_path('routes/api_v1.php'));

                break;
            case 2:
                Route::prefix('api')
                    ->middleware('api')
                    ->namespace('App\Controllers\API')
                    ->group(base_path('routes/api_v2.php'));

                break;
            default:
        }
}

Now the problem is that (only while testing) the request headers are not present in mapApiRoutes of ServiceProvider, so it will always load the v1 route file.

After some research I found that the RouteServiceProvider is loaded once on application tests start and is in common between all tests, so it doesn't have any request headers/parameters.

How can I pass request data to RouteServiceProvider while testing? Maybe I've used the wrong approach loading route file based on request headers in RouteServiceProvider.. any suggestion?

Thanks

Not sure about the testing header part but why not put the version in your request URL? in /routes/api.php

Route::prefix('v1')->group(function () {
    //v1 routes
});

Route::prefix('v2')->group(function () {
    //v2 routes
});

Then in your tests (you could have v1, v2 folders, etc)

$this->json('POST', '/api/v1/register', $data)
    ->assertStatus(200)
    ->assertJsonFragment([
            'status_code' => 0,
        ]);
