[Unit Test - 5.1] How to disable middlewares

There's not a WithoutMiddleware trait because withoutMiddleware() doesn't exist in Laravel\Lumen\Testing\TestCase, and the trait is just a shortcut for calling said method.

Also, there's not a withoutMiddleware() method because there's no Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\CrawlerTrait when you use Lumen, which is the trait responsible for importing said method.

Try this in a setUp method:

$this->app->instance('middleware.disable', true);

Hi @JohnRivs,

You are wrong, the withoutMiddleware() method exists in CrailerTrait which it used in Laravel\Lumen\Testing\TestCase :

abstract class TestCase extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
        use ApplicationTrait, AssertionsTrait, CrawlerTrait;
    // ...
}

I was reading the TestCase class in test/, didn't notice.

Then why can't you use the method that it provides?

withoutMiddleware() method exists but doesn't work

Could you elaborate on that? Any error?
