Laravel 9 testing, im getting tabel is empty

hi @sinnbeck here is the method

/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @throws AuthorizationException
 *
 * @return Factory|View
 */
public function create()
{
    $this->authorize('admin.supplier.create');

    return view('admin.supplier.create');
}

The strange things is even if i post to the store route i still get The table is empty.

if i do this

	$response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
        'admin/suppliers',
          $supplier
      );

or

	$response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
       'admin/suppliers/store',
          $supplier
      );

it does not get the data

@sinnbeck her is all my routes

Route::middleware(['auth:' . config('admin-auth.defaults.guard'), 'admin'])->group(static function () {
Route::prefix('admin')->namespace('App\Http\Controllers\Admin')->name('admin/')->group(static function () {
    Route::prefix('suppliers')->name('suppliers/')->group(static function () {
        Route::get('/', 'SuppliersController@index')->name('index');
        Route::get('/create', 'SuppliersController@create')->name('create');
        Route::post('/', 'SuppliersController@store')->name('store');
        Route::get('/{supplier}/edit', 'SuppliersController@edit')->name('edit');
        Route::post('/bulk-destroy', 'SuppliersController@bulkDestroy')->name('bulk-destroy');
        Route::post('/{supplier}', 'SuppliersController@update')->name('update');
        Route::delete('/{supplier}', 'SuppliersController@destroy')->name('destroy');
    });
});

});

Sorry im trying to fit the routes nicely but it doesn't fit well

@sinnbeck When i do the change i still get empty table

$response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
        'admin/suppliers',
        $supplier
    );

I need to work on my indentations hehe

@sinnbeck Sorry unfortionatly the same "empty table"

        $response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
        'admin/suppliers',
        $supplier
    );
    $response->assertSessionHasNoErrors();
    $response->assertStatus(302);
    $this->assertDatabaseHas(
        'suppliers',
        $supplier
    );

You can also try adding this

public function test_if_user_can_create_a_supplier()
{
    $supplier = [
        'name' => 'Acme Inc.',
        'trading_as' => 'Acme',
        'vat_number' => '123456789',
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'currency' => 'USD',
        'account_number' => '987654321',
        'phone' => '+1 (123) 456-7890',
        'fax' => '+1 (123) 456-7891',
        'mobile' => '+1 (123) 456-7892',
        'website' => 'https://www.acme.com',
    ];

    $this->withoutExceptionHandling(); //this
    $adminUser = AdminUser::find(1);

    $response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
        'admin/suppliers/create',
        $supplier
    );
    $response->assertStatus(302);
    $this->assertDatabaseHas(
        'suppliers',
        $supplier
    );
}

@sinnbeck if i use it like this it works, but the duplication is not allowed to be used and i need to simplify it

  public function test_if_user_can_create_a_supplier()
{
    $supplier = Supplier::create(
       $supplier = [
            'name' => 'Acme Inc.',
            'trading_as' => 'Acme',
            'vat_number' => '123456789',
            'email' => '[email protected]',
            'currency' => 'USD',
            'account_number' => '987654321',
            'phone' => '+1 (123) 456-7890',
            'fax' => '+1 (123) 456-7891',
            'mobile' => '+1 (123) 456-7892',
            'website' => 'https://www.acme.com',
        ]
    );
    $adminUser = AdminUser::find(1);

    $response = $this->actingAs($adminUser)->post(
        'admin/suppliers'
    );

    $response->assertStatus(302);
    $this->assertDatabaseHas(
        'suppliers',
        [
            'name' => 'Acme Inc.',
            'trading_as' => 'Acme',
            'vat_number' => '123456789',
            'email' => '[email protected]',
            'currency' => 'USD',
            'account_number' => '987654321',
            'phone' => '+1 (123) 456-7890',
            'fax' => '+1 (123) 456-7891',
            'mobile' => '+1 (123) 456-7892',
            'website' => 'https://www.acme.com',
        ]
    );
}

@sinnbeck you are right, it doesn't help me trying it that way, as you said it doesn't really test anything, I will see what i can do and will the post the results, Thank you so much for your help Sir it means allot

@sinnbeck but now im sitting with this issue to test if n supplier can be deleted when a run the following code i get Missing required parameter for [Route: admin/suppliers/destroy] [URI: admin/suppliers/{supplier}] [Missing parameter: supplier].

    public function test_if_a_user_can_delete_a_supplier()
{
    //Make fake data, don't persist to database.
    $supplier = Supplier::factory()->make()->setAppends([])->makeHidden(['created_at', 'updated_at']);

    //Create an Admin User and assign the Administrator role to this new user
    $adminUser = factory(AdminUser::class)->create();
    $adminUser->roles()->sync(Role::where('name', 'Administrator')->first());

    $this->actingAs($adminUser, config('admin-auth.defaults.guard'))
        ->json(
            'DELETE',
            route('admin/suppliers/destroy'),
            $supplier->toArray()
        )
        ->assertStatus(302)
        ->assertRedirectToRoute('admin/suppliers/index');
    $this->assertDatabaseMissing(
        'suppliers',
        $supplier->toArray()

    );
}
