Cannot feature test multilanguage routes

[jakobbuis]

• Localization Version: 2.1.0
• Laravel Version: 5.5.22
• PHP Version: 7.1.8-1ubuntu1

Description:

I cannot test multilanguage translated routes. Created routes work in the browser, but never in a testcase. Tried it using a empty Laravel-project, which doesn't work either. I'd like to start a PR, but I have no clue where to start at this point in time.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a new, empty Laravel project:

   composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel loctest

2. Require the localization package

   composer require "arcanedev/localization:^2.1"

3. Publish the configuration file

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Arcanedev\Localization\LocalizationServiceProvider"

4. Change routes/web.php to:

   Route::localizedGroup(function () {
       Route::view('/', 'welcome');
   });

5. Change the test method in tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php to:

   public function testBasicTest()
   {
       $response = $this->get('/en');
       $response->assertStatus(200);
   }

6. Run the tests: vendor/bin/phpunit.

No changes in the testcase

Additional: I've noticed that

$this->get('/')

will result in a 302 redirect (as expected), but both

$this->followingsRedirects()->get('/')
$this->get('/en')

result in a 404.

This package needs a rewrite because the localized routes are registered dynamically based on different factors.

I'm aware about this issue and i need time to rewrite it to make it easy to test (with trait helpers). Also make the localized routes cachable.

These are some related issues:

• How to perform unit testing with localized and non-localized endpoints? mcamara/laravel-localization#435
• Caching routes mcamara/laravel-localization#308
• How write phpunit integrational tests for multiple locales? mcamara/laravel-localization#289
• Unit testing localized routes mcamara/laravel-localization#161

@arcanedev-maroc are there any updates on this?

//web.php

if (app()->environment('testing')) {
require '_web.php';
} else {
Route::localizedGroup(function () {
require '_web.php';
});
}

This sould be the accepted answer. Following that answer, this is how I resolved.

First modifiy config/localization.php and change hide-default-in-urlto:

'hide-default-in-url' => env('LOCALIZATION_HIDE_DEFAULT_LOCALE', false),

If you don't use English as your default language you need to override locale option on config/app.php. For example if you use spanish as your default locale change to:

'locale' => env('DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'es'),

Then add to your phpunit.xml this valus inside the <php>:

<env name="DEFAULT_LOCALE" value="en"/>
<env name="LOCALIZATION_HIDE_DEFAULT_LOCALE" value="true"/>

Now remember to use always english for your routes in tests.

Your tests should work 😄
