在Laravel中进行测试时，可以充当用户的id

Question

Laravel 5.7. I have a test like this:

/** @test */
public function do_nothing_test()
{
    $user = factory(User::class)->states('app')->make();
    $this->actingAs($user, 'api');
    $response = $this->postJson('some_endpoint', ['foobar' => 3]);
    $this->assertEquals(1, Foobar::count());
}

which calls an endpoint in a controller that tries to get the logged in user:

public function update_foobar($request)
{
    $userId = auth()->user()->id;
    Foobar::create(['userId' => $userId, 'foobar' => $request->foobar]);
}

The value of $id is null. How can I get the test to work so that the user's details are available to the controller?

Answer 1

$user = factory(User::class)->states('app')->make();

make() doesn’t save to the database, so they won’t have an ID. I think you mean create()?
