Bit of a cowboy... not done much testing

@tykus Thanks.

I ran with --debug and saw that it was failing on test_user_can_login_with_correct_credentials

So I set about to debug that by adding debug logs and this is the outcome

Test:

public function test_user_can_login_with_correct_credentials()
    {
        $user = User::factory()->create([
            \Log::debug("first"),
            'password' => bcrypt($password = 'i-love-laravel'),
            \Log::debug("first part 2"),
        ]);

        \Log::debug("second");
        $response = $this->post('/login', [
            'email' => $user->email,
            'password' => $password,
        ]);

        \Log::debug("third");
        $response->assertRedirect('/dashboard');
        $this->assertAuthenticatedAs($user);
    }

Logs I'm getting:

[2022-11-17 13:49:45] testing.DEBUG: first  
[2022-11-17 13:49:45] testing.DEBUG: first part 2  

So it's not making it OUT of that first function. I'm stuck.

@tykus

Ok..... I added a log to my UserFactory and can see that it's stuck in an infinite loop. Here is what that looks like.

No idea why this is looping

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Database\Factories;

use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

/**

final class UserFactory extends Factory
{
    /**
    * The name of the factory's corresponding model.
    *
    * @var string
    */
    protected $model = User::class;

    /**
    * Define the model's default state.
    *
    * @return array
    */
    public function definition(): array
    {
        return [

            'facebook' => $this->faker->word,
            'contact_email' => $this->faker->word,
        ];
    }
}

@Mick79 You get an eternal loop.

'referee_code' => \App\User::factory(),

This creates a new user.. Which creates a new user... etc.

@Sinnbeck AHHHHH my god how obvious.

Thank you.... again!
