I have a controller that after submitting a email, performs a redirect to the home, like this:
return Redirect::route('home')->with("message", "Ok!"); I am writing the tests for it, and I am not sure how to make phpunit to follow the redirect, to test the success message:
public function testMessageSucceeds() { $crawler = $this->client->request('POST', '/contact', ['email' => '[email protected]', 'message' => "lorem ipsum"]); $this->assertResponseStatus(302); $this->assertRedirectedToRoute('home'); $message = $crawler->filter('.success-message'); // Here it fails $this->assertCount(1, $message); } If I substitute the code on the controller for this, and I remove the first 2 asserts, it works
Session::flash('message', 'Ok!'); return $this->makeView('staticPages.home'); But I would like to use the Redirect::route. Is there a way to make PHPUnit to follow the redirect?

Redirect responses are instances of the Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse class, and contain the proper headers needed to redirect the user to another URL. There are several ways to generate a RedirectResponse instance. The simplest method is to use the global redirect helper: Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
Just set the flash message and redirect to back from your controller functiion. session()->flash('msg', 'Successfully done the operation. '); return redirect()->back(); And then you can get the message in the view blade file.
You can use the compact function to pass it to your view and reference it by the name. Show activity on this post. return view('viewfile')->with('card',$card)->with('another',$another); You can send data using redirect method.
$data=['id'=>1,'name'=>'test']; return Redirect::route('Controller. method')->with('data' => $data);
You can get PHPUnit to follow redirects with:
Laravel >= 5.5.19:
$this->followingRedirects(); Laravel < 5.4.12:
$this->followRedirects(); Usage:
$response = $this->followingRedirects() ->post('/login', ['email' => '[email protected]']) ->assertStatus(200); Note: This needs to be set explicitly for each request.
For versions between these two:
See https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/18016#issuecomment-322401713 for a workaround.

You can tell crawler to follow a redirect this way:
$crawler = $this->client->followRedirect(); so in your case that would be something like:
public function testMessageSucceeds() { $this->client->request('POST', '/contact', ['email' => '[email protected]', 'message' => "lorem ipsum"]); $this->assertResponseStatus(302); $this->assertRedirectedToRoute('home'); $crawler = $this->client->followRedirect(); $message = $crawler->filter('.success-message'); $this->assertCount(1, $message); } If you love us?
