Filament pest test returns 403 instead of 200

I now have to ask, because I have a problem and tried now for ours to find out what is the problem. I use Filament and do test with pest. But one simple test returns something else I expect:

$user = User::factory()->create();
$this->actingAs($user);
$this->get(ConsoleResource::getUrl('index'))->assertSuccessful();

In this test I expect that the return is 200. But it is 403? When I test everything in the app frontend and do it manually, everything works. No problems with the permission. When I check the user I created in test, the user also have verified email date. And I also have no roles yet. I don't know what to check else. Does anybody have an idea?

It sounds like the issue might be related to the permissions or middleware that are being applied to the route you're trying to access in your test. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check Middleware: Ensure that the route you're trying to access in your test does not have middleware that could be causing the 403 error. For example, if the route requires certain permissions or roles, make sure the test user has those.
Check Policies: If you are using policies, make sure the test user is authorized to access the resource.
Check Guards: Ensure that the correct guard is being used in your test. Sometimes, the default guard might not be the one you need for your test.
Debugging: Add some debugging statements to check the state of the user and their permissions at the point of the request.

Here is an example of how you might adjust your test to ensure the user has the correct permissions:

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
use Tests\TestCase;

class YourTest extends TestCase
{
    public function test_user_can_access_console_resource()
    {
        // Create a user
        $user = User::factory()->create();

        // Optionally, assign roles or permissions to the user
        // $user->assignRole('your-role');
        // $user->givePermissionTo('your-permission');

        // Acting as the created user
        $this->actingAs($user);

        // Check if the user can access the route
        $response = $this->get(ConsoleResource::getUrl('index'));

        // Debugging: Check the response status and content
        // dd($response->status(), $response->getContent());

        // Assert that the response is successful
        $response->assertSuccessful();
    }
}

If the route requires specific permissions or roles, make sure to assign them to the user in the test. For example, if you are using Laravel's built-in authorization features, you might need to assign a role or permission to the user:

$user->assignRole('admin');

$user->givePermissionTo('view console resource');

Additionally, you can use debugging statements like dd($response->status(), $response->getContent()) to inspect the response and understand why it might be returning a 403 status code.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the 403 error in your test.

I don't have roles or setup custom guards. Maybe I do have to change something in the middleware? But what? I have two panels and in my account panel provider I have this:

->middleware([
                EncryptCookies::class,
                AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
                StartSession::class,
                AuthenticateSession::class,
                ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
                VerifyCsrfToken::class,
                SubstituteBindings::class,
                DisableBladeIconComponents::class,
                DispatchServingFilamentEvent::class,
            ])
            ->authMiddleware([
                Authenticate::class,
            ]);

My policy is returning true in each method.

Found the solution, but Im also a bit confused. The problem was, that I have the canAccessPanel method in user model, but the model does not implement the FilamentUser interface:

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser

I ever thougt an interface just gives the class the structure. So Im confused, why the method is only available after implement the interface? But maybe some code is checking for that interface. Now it works and that is good to go on.
