Pest Route Testing Plugin for Laravel Applications

The pest-plugin-route-testing for Pest helps you ensure your routes are okay in Laravel. This package has useful methods to filter down which routes to run, bind users to test routes, and more. The simplest example is testing all GET routes, which you can do with one method call:

use function Spatie\RouteTesting\routeTesting;
 
routeTesting('all GET routes')
   ->assertSuccessful();

All your application routes have high-level validation that returns a 200 status code. That's pretty neat!

#Route Testing Plugin Features

• Test specific routes with the include() method
• Exclude routes from your test with the exclude() method
• Route Model Binding support
• Run custom code before route testing
• Ignore skipped tests in the test result output

Here are a few more examples from the project's readme, illustrating how to use this plugin:

use function Spatie\RouteTesting\routeTesting;
 
// Filter routes to include
routeTesting('all blog routes')
    ->include('blog*', 'post*')
    ->assertSuccessful();
 
// Exclude some routes
routeTesting('all blog routes')
    ->exclude('admin*')
    ->assertSuccessful();
 
// Bind a user to test all routes
use App\Models\User;
 
routeTesting('all blog routes')
    ->bind('user', User::factory()->create())
    ->assertSuccessful();
 
// Run some code before
routeTesting('all admin routes')
    ->setUp(function ()
    {
        $user = User::factory()->create();
 
        $this->actingAs($user);
 
        // optionally, you could also bind the model
        $this->bind('user', $user);
    })
    ->include('admin*')
    ->assertSuccessful();
