Hi,
I'm trying to extent https://github.com/spatie/laravel-navigation package for my needs. To be safe I want to also add tests.
This package in general returns resulting navigation as a json tree:
app(Navigation::class)->tree();
Laravel has very powerful json assertions ( https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/http-tests#assert-json ) when testing http respose.
Do you have any suggestions how to uses these assertions when testing json returning (non-http response) method?
Check the source: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/6de01746680d7bc7e239b20ec5cdfe70ce586235/src/Illuminate/Testing/Fluent/AssertableJson.php#L137
It seems to just check that it is an array, which is then passed to phpunit here https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/6de01746680d7bc7e239b20ec5cdfe70ce586235/src/Illuminate/Testing/AssertableJsonString.php#L267
Thanks, @sinnbeck. But I just now recognized that I'm writing test for laravel package and Laravel framework is not awailable there :( I have to use phpUnit assertions or add the framework to packege - what seems wrong.
But provided links could be useful for me and other later - when trying to test json whish is not part of http response.
If writing tests for a laravel package, I can recommend this package for testing.
