哪种方法可以使用PHPUnit在Laravel 5.2中测试命令？

Question

I'm trying to write test cases for Commands in PHPUnit, without much success.

At this point I've tried many things, being probably this post the closest approach I found for my purpose. Still, I'm struggling a lot to get this working.

Follows an example output for you:

alariva@trinsic ~/timegrid.io/app $ phpunit --filter=SendBusinessReportTest

You can find my current attempt here , (broken tests), but maybe you can hint me something I'm missing :)

Just for reference, how I'm doing right now but does not seem to cover the code: Coverage Report and Test Case

Side Note: You may ask why PHPUnit and not another testing framework. So far I'm generating my test coverage with PHPUnit and I'd like to stick to it until I feel the actual need to switch. However, all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In above case, you should remove use Artisan; because you don't use any namespace for your test

Answer 2

I got to an acceptable approach as follows:

<?php

use App\Console\Commands\SendBusinessReport;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Application as ConsoleApplication;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Tester\CommandTester;
use Timegridio\Concierge\Models\Appointment;

class SendBusinessReportTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseTransactions;
    use CreateBusiness, CreateUser, CreateContact, CreateAppointment, CreateService, CreateVacancy;

    /** @test */
    public function it_reports_to_all_businesses()
    {
        $this->arrangeFixture();

        // BEGIN Actual solution code
        $application = new ConsoleApplication();

        $testedCommand = $this->app->make(SendBusinessReport::class);
        $testedCommand->setLaravel(app());
        $application->add($testedCommand);

        $command = $application->find('business:report');

        $commandTester = new CommandTester($command);

        $commandTester->execute([
            'command' => $command->getName(),
        ]);
        // END Actual solution code

        $this->assertRegExp('/Scanning all businesses../', $commandTester->getDisplay());
    }

    /**
     * Arrange Fixture.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function arrangeFixture()
    {
        $this->owner = $this->createUser();
        $this->issuer = $this->createUser();

        $this->business = $this->createBusiness();
        $this->business->owners()->save($this->owner);

        $this->contact = $this->createContact();
        $this->contact->user()->associate($this->issuer);

        $this->service = $this->makeService();
        $this->business->services()->save($this->service);

        $this->vacancy = $this->makeVacancy();
        $this->vacancy->service()->associate($this->service);

        $this->business->vacancies()->save($this->vacancy);

        $appointment = $this->makeAppointment($this->business, $this->issuer, $this->contact, [
            'status' => Appointment::STATUS_CONFIRMED,
            ]);
    }
}
