lumen-framework: $this->expectsJobs not working

Hi,

I’ve using this method when testing my previous Laravel projects. I have now a job-heavy Lumen app on which I would like to do the same. But for some reason I cannot get this to work. I then pulled out an fresh Lumen 5.2.6 app and did the following changes to make the most simplistic working example. I assume this should work.

routes.php

<?php

use App\Jobs\ExampleJob;

$app->get('/', function () use ($app) {
    dispatch(new ExampleJob);
});

ExampleTest.php

<?php

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testExample()
    {
        $this->expectsJobs('App\Jobs\ExampleJob');

        $this->get('/');
    }
}

Running phpunit:

vagrant@homestead:~/Code/lumen-test$ phpunit

I’m pretty sure I figured out what is happening.

The expectsJobs method replaces the container binding with the mock.
When the dispatch helper function calls make on the app, the make function calls registerBusBindings, which overwrites the mock binding with the real binding.
Since the mock binding is overwritten, the app gets the real thing and the method is never called on the mock.

I added a failing test here, that shows how the container overwrites bindings. This will happen with any bindings listed in the availableBindings property of the application.

A hacky workaround is to resolve the object once out of the container before trying to register your binding.

Hi there, this is solved? I’m facing the same problem with a simple test…

@feeekkk you need to do something like this:

// Resolve the dispatcher even though we aren't using it.
app('Illuminate\Contracts\Bus\Dispatcher');

// Now it will work correctly $this->expectsJobs($args); On Jul 2, 2016 8:25 AM, “feeekkk” notifications@github.com wrote:

Has anyone come up with a solution for this? I’m a little confused as to what this comment means:
