Laravel Scout Array Driver is a package by @Sti3bas that provides conveniences around testing Laravel Scout search:

This package adds an array driver to Laravel Scout and provides custom PHPUnit assertions to make testing search-related functionality easier.

The package ships with a Search facade which provides convenience methods that make asserting search easier:

$user = factory(User::class)->create([
'name' => 'Oliver',
]);
 
$user2 = User::withoutSyncingToSearch(function () {
return factory(User::class)->create([
'name' => 'John',
]);
});
 
Search::assertContains($user) // passes
->assertContains($user2) // fails
->assertContains($user, function ($record) { // passes
return $record['name'] === 'Oliver';
})
->assertContains($user, function ($record) { // fails
return $record['name'] === 'John';
})
->assertContains($user2, function ($record) { // fails
return $record['name'] === 'John';
});

The Search facade has a bunch of methods you should check out in the readme. One that stood out to me was the fakeRecord method. This method allows you to fake search index record of the model.

$user = factory(User::class)->create([
'id' => 123,
'name' => 'Peter',
'email' => 'peter@example.com',
]);
 
Search::fakeRecord($user, [
'id' => 123,
'name' => 'John',
], false);
 
$record = User::search()->where('id', 123)->raw()['hits'][0];
 
$this->assertEquals('Peter', $record['name']); // fails
$this->assertEquals('John', $record['name']); // passes
$this->assertTrue(!isset($record['email'])); // passes
