Test authentication with Pest

How could you best test the login of filament dashboard, since there is no POST option on the login route?

test('Admin user can login with valid credentials', function () {
    $user = createUser('Admin');

    $response = $this->post('admin/login', [
        'email' => $user->email,
        'password' => 'password',
    ]);

    $response->assertRedirect(route('filament.admin.pages.dashboard'));
    $this->assertAuthenticatedAs($user);
});

test('Admin user can login with valid credentials', function () {
    $user = createUser('Admin');

    $response = $this->post('admin/login', [
        'email' => $user->email,
        'password' => 'password',
    ]);

    $response->assertRedirect(route('filament.admin.pages.dashboard'));
    $this->assertAuthenticatedAs($user);
});

refer to the livewire docs for testing

That raises more questions for me than answers

what's not clear? filament uses livewire so you test livewire components

https://livewire.laravel.com/docs/testing

Laravel

Testing | Laravel

A full-stack framework for Laravel that takes the pain out of building dynamic UIs.

Yes, I understand that, but I only see examples for a PostResource and I specifically want to test the authentication. So logging in, registering and logging out.

Livewire tests... But I don't understand why do you want to test core features?

Mister Nicolaz•3mo ago

You have a good point there 😅 Filament is still quite new to me, but I have worked with Laravel before in the past. What I mainly miss are good guidelines on how you should/shouldn't set up tests (from A to Z).

krekas•3mo ago

Maybe you should first learn livewire and how to test components/actions. I think there should be some good tests in filament repo

Mister Nicolaz•3mo ago

I've now managed to make some specific tests with livewire 🙂 Is there a useful CI/CD workflow that I could use on Github, so that I can run the tests at each PR?

krekas•3mo ago

You can using github actions. Plenty tutorials

Still a question about testing authentication with pest Given this function in the User model:

public function canAccessPanel(Panel $panel): bool
    {
        if ($panel->getId() === 'admin') {
            return $this->hasRole(['Super Admin', 'Moderator']);
        }
        return false;
    }

public function canAccessPanel(Panel $panel): bool
    {
        if ($panel->getId() === 'admin') {
            return $this->hasRole(['Super Admin', 'Moderator']);
        }
        return false;
    }

How could I test that a normal user with the role user does not have access to the panel? In the filament repository I came across a test that would best suit this:

test('unauthenticated user cannot login admin panel', function () {
    Filament::setCurrentPanel(Filament::getPanel('admin'));

    livewire(Login::class)
        ->fillForm([
            'email' => $this->user->email,
            'password' => 'password',
        ])
        ->call('authenticate')
        ->assertHasFormErrors(['email']);

    $this->assertGuest();
});

test('unauthenticated user cannot login admin panel', function () {
    Filament::setCurrentPanel(Filament::getPanel('admin'));

    livewire(Login::class)
        ->fillForm([
            'email' => $this->user->email,
            'password' => 'password',
        ])
        ->call('authenticate')
        ->assertHasFormErrors(['email']);

    $this->assertGuest();
});

As a test it passes, but it does not ensure that I get code coverage on the return false; 🤔 I could of course also omit the return false, but phpstan actually expects that there is a return value in any case
