A Laravel test that requires authentication does not pass in GitHub action

I have a simple test that checks that the dashboard is renderable for authenticated users.

Here is the code:

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\User;
use Tests\TestCase;

class DashboardTest extends TestCase
{
    public function test_dashboard_page_can_be_rendered()
    {
        $this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());

        $response = $this->get('/dashboard');

        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }
}

This code works fine when I run php artisan test.

Output:

PASS  Tests\Feature\DashboardTest
  ✓ dashboard page can be rendered

But, when running this on GitHub Actions, I get the following error:

There was 1 failure:

1) Tests\Feature\DashboardTest::test_dashboard_page_can_be_rendered
Expected response status code [200] but received 302.
Failed asserting that 200 is identical to 302.

Solution

  • I missed passing a middleware that I used to group all routes. It must be passed otherwise redirect will occur as described error.

    That middleware is passed now and all tests run as usual.
