Test Function Names I am just experimenting with laravel testing
Just curious whether is there any better way to name the below mentioned function names
I know that these are not the best tests, but i am just testing.
public function test_what_a_guest_can_see_when_login_url_is_visited()
{
$response = $this->get('/login');
$response->assertSee('Home');
$response->assertSee('Log in');
$response->assertSee('Register');
$response->assertStatus(200);
}
public function test_what_a_guest_can_see_when_register_url_is_visited()
{
$response = $this->get('/register');
$response->assertSee('Home');
$response->assertSee('Log in');
$response->assertSee('Register');
$response->assertStatus(200);
}
@zaster
I know that these are not the best tests, but i am just testing.
I have not seen a test for this.
Name for readability ie
public function test_a_guest_can_visit_login_page()
{
$this->get('/login')
->assertSee('Log in')
->assertSee('Register')
->assertSee('Home')
->assertStatus(200);
}
The assertions tell the rest of the story.
Edit
In this case some of the function name can be inferred through the body of the test.
@zaster if you use the @test annotation, you don't need to use test in your test name, and can do something like the following
/**
* @test
*
* @return void
*/
public function can_access_welcome_page(): void
{
$response = $this->get(route('home'));
$response->assertSuccessful(); // same as assertStatus(200) but nicer as it doesn't have the magic number
}
i wouldn't worry about adding guest to your test name. Assume everyone is a guest, and then if they have more privileges then describe those.
eg
can_access_login_page()
authorised_user_can_access_dashboard()
@automica
Tests does work without : void
E.g.
/**
* @test
*
* @return void
*/
public function a_guest_can_access_welcome_page()
{
$response = $this->get('/');
$response->assertSee('Log in');
$response->assertSee('Register');
$response->assertSuccessful();
}
Is it ok to proceed like that ?
From Where did you find the assertSuccessful() method ?
What should i use when it is a different assert status such as
$response->assertStatus(403);
