Testing infolist actions

Hey @hasnayeen

Starting a new thread here, regarding your question So I don't have a ton of experience testing infolists but I've explored it previously by reaching into the component instance in the test. Something like this:

    $testable = Livewire::test(ViewPage::class, ['record' => ...]);

    /** @var ViewPage $page */
    $page = $testable->instance();

    $this->assertArrayHasKey(
        'myCustomAction',
        $page->getInfolist('infolist')->getComponents()[0]->getActions()
    );

    $testable = Livewire::test(ViewPage::class, ['record' => ...]);

    /** @var ViewPage $page */
    $page = $testable->instance();

    $this->assertArrayHasKey(
        'myCustomAction',
        $page->getInfolist('infolist')->getComponents()[0]->getActions()
    );

I guess in your case you could instead access the action object, run the action, and make your assertion in the DB Something to experiment

I already saw your answer to other post, trying to do exactly that but couldn't access the action as it's too nested and the it all very cyclical

Hmm. Is it important that the action be in the infolist for the test? Can you extract just this action in your codebase, and then simplify your test around the action class?

Hasnayeen•10mo ago

that's a good idea but the action is one-off so kinda hesitant to extract that to a separate class but if I can't find any other way then probably do this. Thanks for the suggestion ok did this according to your suggestion -> access the action object, run the action, and make your assertion in the DB

Awesome. How did you get around your cyclical issues?

retrieved the action using name

    $page->getInfolist('infolist')
        ->getComponent('input')
        ->getAction('create')
        ->formData([
            'keys' => [
                'name' => 'Test',
            ]
        ])
        ->call();

    $page->getInfolist('infolist')
        ->getComponent('input')
        ->getAction('create')
        ->formData([
            'keys' => [
                'name' => 'Test',
            ]
        ])
        ->call();

i came up with something like this if you add a section you might need to add another ->getChildComponents()[0] after the first one

$livewire = livewire(ViewInviteeInfoList::class, ['record' => $invitee->getRouteKey()]);

$livewire ->instance()
        ->getInfolist('infolist')
        ->getComponents()[0]
        ->getChildComponents()[0] // this is the index of your action in your actions group - if you dont have one you might not need getChildComponents()
        ->getAction('delete_invitee')
        ->call();

$livewire = livewire(ViewInviteeInfoList::class, ['record' => $invitee->getRouteKey()]);

$livewire ->instance()
        ->getInfolist('infolist')
        ->getComponents()[0]
        ->getChildComponents()[0] // this is the index of your action in your actions group - if you dont have one you might not need getChildComponents()
        ->getAction('delete_invitee')
        ->call();
