This post is showing some examples that are pretty easy to add to any Laravel project that use Laravel Breeze.
In order to use the full example you should require to use the Laracast/Cypress package.
Here a login example:
Take in mind that the default user factories from Laravel sets user password generated by factories as "password":
describe('Authentication test', () => {
it('tests a success manual authentication with the login form', () => {
cy.visit(`/login`);
cy.php(`
App\\Models\\User::factory()->create(['email', 'john@doe.com']);
`).then(user => {
cy.get('input[type="email"]').type(user.email);
cy.get('input[type="password"]').type('password');
});
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').click();
cy.location('pathname').should('equal', '/dashboard');
});
});
Some interesting ideas could be:
Test http status code
cy.request('http://localhost:8000/dashboard').then((response) => expect(response.status).to.eq(200));
Test a middleware
// visit a url
cy.visit('http://localhost:8000/dashboard');
// check the next url location
cy.url().should('match', /login);
Sometimes you require to test a larger workflow like logout and then check that some middleware works...
cy.visit('/logout') // I got you cover, it would do the magic
Check some content
Take in mind that you should avoid testing texts that could be escaped, with that said, you can test something like a welcome message in the /dashboard url.
cy.contains('Welcome');
Or even better, use the PHP method or the login helper to test exactly the current user welcome message:
cy.login({ email: 'john@doe.com', name: 'John Doe' });
cy.visit('/dashboard').contains('Welcome Back, John Doe');
Hopefully this little examples, helps to provide enough guide to create you own tests for your applications.
