Integration Test: Determine all Nova Resources

Hello everyone,

I am trying to write a PHPUnit integration test that tests the API all Nova resources to catch the most obvious bugs.

The way I am thinking to go about this is:

1. Determine all resource classes
2. Determine the URI key
3. Call the appropriate URLs with /app/resources/<uriKey> and /nova-api/<uriKey>/<lenses/filters/actions> and assert a status code of 200

However, I am struggling with step 1. I can only get the comment resource, not any other resources defined in the project.

This is the test method, including step 1:

public function testGetAllResources()
{
    dd(Nova::availableResources(NovaRequest::create('/app/dashboard')));
}

This code gives me the following output:

array:1 [
  0 => "KirschbaumDevelopment\NovaComments\Nova\Comment"
]

Does someone have an idea as to why I am not getting all available resources via the availableResources method? Maybe there's a better solution for the issue?

The alternative would be using reflection on the default resource directory in order to get all classes, but I am trying to avoid that, as it is unreliable when defining resources outside the default path.

Edit: I have found a solution. You need to register the resources manually in the NovaServiceProvider, after which they appear in the $resources field of the Nova class. If you are using this method inside a data provider, you also need refreshApplication(), as the data provider gets executed even before the setUp method.

private function getAvailableResources() {
  /* Load Laravel (Nova) classes */
  $this->refreshApplication();

  /* Register Nova resources */
  $serviceProvider = new NovaServiceProvider(require_once base_path("bootstrap/app.php"));
  $serviceProvider->resources();

  return Nova::$resources;
}
