如何对视图路径进行单元测试？

Question

I have a redirection procedure. If an auth check fails, redirect the user to a specific page. If the auth check passes, load a view.

In my unit testing script, I am using Laravel's own assertRedirectedTo on the fail procedure, which works fine:

$this->assertRedirectedTo('users/create');

However, I want to check that if it passes, the view that is rendered is users/index - this is not a redirection, so I just want to check the path of the view to ensure it's correct.

I can't seem to find any way to return the view path in this form to assert against.

At present, I'm testing against the title, but I feel this will be redundant, because the title may change in future, and in that respect, the test should still pass.

Answer 1

How about something like:

$response = $this->call(...);

$view = $response->original;
$this->assertSame('users/index', $view->getName());

Similarly, you can use getPath() etc. on the View instance.
