Error says that you have $newPosts variable somewhere, and you pass $newestPosts to views. Search in your code for newPosts and change it to newestPosts.

hi no it's just my error, fix but issue is same
$newestPosts come from view::share on boot, inside appServiceProvider
when start unit test, i dont know if blade understand, if data come from this view::share

@sylvain92 Make it a feature test. This isn’t a unit test.
A unit test extends PHPUnit’s TestCase class so won’t boot the framework, therefore you won’t have access to methods like $this->get.

Hi i switch to Feature test, but have same issue. it seems Tests\Features not instantiate data while boot the framework
because $newestPost get from AppServiceProvider , not from controller
<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;
use Tests\TestCase;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Community;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithFaker;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
class PageTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;
protected $seed = true;
public function testHomepage()
{
$this->withoutExceptionHandling();
$response = $this->get('/');
$response->assertStatus(200);
}

@sylvain92 Try a view composer instead of “sharing” data from a service provider.
