使用工厂测试 Laravel post 请求

Question

我正在为我的 Laravel 应用程序编写一些功能测试。我是 TDD 的新手，所以这对某些人来说似乎很明显。

LocationsFactory.php

use Faker\Generator as Faker;

$factory->define(App\Location::class, function (Faker $faker) {
    return [
        'name' => $faker->name,
    ];
});

LocationsTest.php

public function a_user_can_create_a_location(): void
{
    $this->withExceptionHandling();

    $user = factory(User::class)->make();
    $location = factory(Location::class)->make();


    $response = $this->actingAs($user)->post('/locations', $location);  // $location needs to be an array

    $response->assertStatus(200);
    $this->assertDatabaseHas('locations', ['name' => $location->name]);
}

TypeError: Argument 2 passed to Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase::post() must be of the type array, object given

我知道错误告诉我 $location 需要是一个数组并且它是一个对象。但是，由于我使用的是工厂，所以它作为一个对象出现。在我的测试中有没有更好的方法来使用工厂？

这似乎也有点不对：

$this->assertDatabaseHas('locations', ['name' => $location->name]);

由于我使用的是 faker，所以我不知道 name 会是什么。所以我只是检查生成的内容是否理想？

感谢您的任何建议！

编辑

做这样的事情很好（也许这就是解决方案）...

...
$user = factory(User::class)->make();
$location = factory(Location::class)->make();

$response = $this->actingAs($user)->post('/locations', [
    'name' => $location->name
]);

$response->assertStatus(200);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('locations', ['name' => $location->name]);

但是，假设我的 location 有 30 个属性。这似乎很快就会变得丑陋。

使用 toArray() 进行对象到数组的转换：参见以下示例

    $user = factory(User::class)->make();
    $location = factory(Location::class)->make();

    $response = $this->actingAs($user)->post('/locations', $location->toArray());

    $response->assertStatus(200);
    $this->assertDatabaseHas('locations', ['name' => $location->name]);

您也可以使用 raw 将属性构建为数组。

$user = factory(User::class)->make();
$location = factory(Location::class)->raw();

$response = $this->actingAs($user)->post('/locations', $location);

$response->assertStatus(200);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('locations', $location);
