That is because the now helper returns an object and not a string representation of a date. Try adding `->toString() on the
$started_at = now()->addDay()->toString();
$expired_at = now()->addDays(4)->toString();

Expecting validation Error
I have a test:
test('quiz cannot be updated with invalid started_at', function () {
$this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());
$component = Livewire::test(Edit::class, ['quiz' => $this->quiz]);
$title = 'Quiz title';
$description = 'Quiz Description';
$type = true;
$started_at = 'random_string';
$expired_at = 'random_string';
// Set component data
$component
->set('title', $title)
->set('description', $description)
->set('type', $type)
->set('started_at', $started_at)
->set('expired_at', $expired_at);
// Call save method
$component->call('save');
// Assert that validation error for started_at is present
$component->assertHasErrors('started_at');
});
It should expect error but its throwing:

How to avoid exception?
Level 1
@Tray2 oops. Actually I did a mistake. Whenever I give a random string it should return validation error :
$started_at = 'random_string';
$expired_at = 'random_string';

@Tray2 Sir could you help me solve this out?
Level 73
@kmnurunnabi where do you validate your data?
Level 1
@Tray2 Thanks . Your provided solution works. Actually I put the logic into livewire component inside mount(Quiz $quiz) lifecycle hook by simply adding $this->quiz = $quiz->started_at->toString().
