laravel test assertJsonValidationErrors false positive on multiple fields

Question

  $data = [
        'name' => '', // required field
        'email' => '' // required field
  ];
  // or $data = [];

  $this->postJson('api/users', $data)
        ->assertStatus(422)
        ->assertJsonValidationErrors(
            ['name']
        );

I am writing tests for validating the fields. The above test will pass, which I expect to fail because name and email fields are both required and should be both in the validation errors. How can I force assertJsonValidationErrors to check all fields in the error bag. Thanks.

Answer 1

After some thinking and digging into laravel documentation, I found a solution to it: use assertJson instead of assertJsonValidationErrors

  $data = [
        'name' => '', // required field
        'email' => '' // required field
  ];
  // or $data = [];

  $this->postJson('api/users', $data)
        ->assertStatus(422)
        ->assertJson(function (AssertableJson $json) use ($data) {
                $json->has('message')
                    ->has('errors', 2) // it will check the exact size of the errors bag
                    ->whereAllType([
                        'errors.name' => 'array',
                        'errors.email' => 'array',
                    ]);
            });
