What is the format for Unit Test in Laravel?

  • 772

I'm trying to unit test and this is the output format of my api:

{
  "data": {
    "company": {
      "idCompany": 1,
      "name": "My Company",
      "noUsers": 1,
      "users": [
        {
          "idUser": 1,
          "name": "John Doe"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

My unit test is using:

$response
    ->assertStatus(200)
    ->assertJsonStructure($expected);

What is the format for the variable $expectedto match my json format?

    You could also use the following assertJsonStructureto verify the structure of the JSONreturn from your request.

    //Ruta GET que retorna el JSON
$response = $this->json('GET', '/nombreruta');
$response->assertStatus(200)
 //validamos que tenga la misma estructura la respuesta obtenida
->assertJsonStructure([
   'data' => [
     'company' =>['idCompany','name','noUsers','users']
   ]
]);

    It will be enough that a key does not match for the test to fail.

  2. Use seeJsonStructure() to check the structure of your json and pass it like this:

    $this->get('/company/1')
         ->seeJsonStructure([
             'data' => [
                'company' => [
                     'idCompany', 
                     'name', 
                     //las demas llaves
                ],
             ],
         ]);
