Testing for Laravel

The test suite that can't lie to you. A dev-only package — install it with --dev, it never ships to production — with test machinery for Laravel packages and applications: base test cases, a structural migration-order pin, a both-directions config contract, a secret-safe about capture and architecture presets, each built so it can always fail.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.4, Laravel 13 and Pest 5.

composer require --dev roundly-consulting/testing-for-laravel phpunit/phpunit:^13.0 --with-all-dependencies

A fresh Laravel 13 app requires PHPUnit 12; naming phpunit/phpunit:^13.0 moves it to the PHPUnit 13 that Pest 5 needs. A project already on Pest 5 needs only the package.

Usage

Point your package's tests/TestCase.php at the base case (in-memory SQLite, foreign keys on, migrations loaded by provider class):

use RoundlyConsulting\Testing\PackageTestCase;
use RoundlyConsulting\Wallet\WalletServiceProvider;

abstract class TestCase extends PackageTestCase
{
    protected function packageProviders(): array
    {
        return [WalletServiceProvider::class];
    }

    protected function migrationSources(): array
    {
        return [WalletServiceProvider::class];
    }
}

Then pin what the package ships — every assertion fails over an empty parse instead of passing:

use RoundlyConsulting\Testing\Arch\ArchPresets;

it('has a runnable migration order', function (): void {
    expect(__DIR__.'/../../database/migrations')
        ->toHaveRunnableMigrationOrder(foreignKeys: 3, externalTables: ['users']);
});

it('ships exactly the config keys it reads', function (): void {
    expect(__DIR__.'/../../config/wallet.php')->toSatisfyConfigContract(__DIR__.'/../../src');
});

ArchPresets::strictTypes('RoundlyConsulting\Wallet');
ArchPresets::finalByDefault('RoundlyConsulting\Wallet');
ArchPresets::noDebuggingLeftovers();
