Testing a form action.

Hey, I have the following action on my ListUsers field:

    protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\CreateAction::make(),
            Actions\Action::make('nodigGebruikerUit')
                ->form([
                    TextInput::make('email')
                        ->email()
                        ->required()
                ])
                ->action(function ($data) {
                    $invitation = Invitation::create(['email' => $data['email']]);

                    Mail::to($invitation->email)->send(new TeamInvitationMail($invitation));

                    Notification::make('invitedSuccess')
                        ->body('De gebruiker is uitgenodigd')
                        ->success()->send();
                })
        ];
    }

    protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\CreateAction::make(),
            Actions\Action::make('nodigGebruikerUit')
                ->form([
                    TextInput::make('email')
                        ->email()
                        ->required()
                ])
                ->action(function ($data) {
                    $invitation = Invitation::create(['email' => $data['email']]);

                    Mail::to($invitation->email)->send(new TeamInvitationMail($invitation));

                    Notification::make('invitedSuccess')
                        ->body('De gebruiker is uitgenodigd')
                        ->success()->send();
                })
        ];
    }

Now I am trying to write a test:

it('sends an email when the button is pushed', function () {
    login(); //don't mind this it's my own helper function
    Mail::fake();

    livewire(ListUsers::class)
        ->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit')
        ->callAction('send', ['email', 'test@example.com']);


    Mail::assertSent(TeamInvitationMail::class, function($mail) {
        return $mail->hasTo('test@example.com');
    });

});

it('sends an email when the button is pushed', function () {
    login(); //don't mind this it's my own helper function
    Mail::fake();

    livewire(ListUsers::class)
        ->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit')
        ->callAction('send', ['email', 'test@example.com']);


    Mail::assertSent(TeamInvitationMail::class, function($mail) {
        return $mail->hasTo('test@example.com');
    });

});

I am getting an error: failed asserting an action with the name [send] exists. I am not sure how to continue. I have a button, when I press that button a form loads and I want to test that when I press that button, en email is sent. Thanks for your help.

Solution:

I think ```php ->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit') ->set('mountedActionsData.0.email', 'test@example.com') ->callMountedAction()...

Send don’t exist on the action. It’s on the Mail facade. Calling the action will trigger the send. You shouldn’t need to manually call it.

JJSanders•2mo ago

The error is before the Mail facade I think it doesn’t show the form.

awcodes•2mo ago

Right, but you are trying to call an action named ‘send’ which doesn’t exist.

JJSanders•2mo ago

Ok. So 1. How do I trigger the form in my test. 2. How do I send the form?

awcodes•2mo ago

You need to setup the action with the data it needs before calling in. So, you would mountAction() with the data for the form. Then callAction()

Solution

I think

->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit')
->set('mountedActionsData.0.email', 'test@example.com')
->callMountedAction()

->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit')
->set('mountedActionsData.0.email', 'test@example.com')
->callMountedAction()

not sure if fillForm works

JJSanders•2mo ago

This works. Thanks so much. Testing is hard.....

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

hum, this will work

->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit', data: ['email' => 'test@example.com'])
->callMountedAction()

->callAction('nodigGebruikerUit', data: ['email' => 'test@example.com'])
->callMountedAction()

What is the difference between callAction and callMountedAction?

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

callAction will execute the action. If you have a form, this will open the form. So, you need to run callMountedAction to submit it Actually, If you are using the second example passing the data, I think you don't need to run callMountedAction. callAction will submit the form

JJSanders•2mo ago

I tested it, and it works indeed Thanks soo much

Thanks I did read that page. I found it hard to understand maybe because it has just examples of the tests but not of the actual code.

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

you sometimes need to dive into the source code to understand how it works..

JJSanders•2mo ago

I was looking for the callAction method. But I couldn't find it then. Now I am searching again and there it is 🙄
