Hi, how to configure the database connection? Are you using a live database or it's included in the environment GitHub provided? thank you!

Hi @hyhilman , as you can see we have a step that copy .env.ci into .env.
.env.ci is a basic env file (maybe you can start from .env.example included in your laravel installation) and edit these two parameters:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=database/database.sqlite

Take a look this post:
https://medium.com/@robertodev/continuous-integration-with-github-actions-and-laravel-6-e6cb9aa5aea9

I am having issue with session. Works on local machine. Always fails on Github Actions.

protected function signInAsAdmin($admin = null)
{
        $admin = $admin ?: factory('App\Admin')->create();
        $this->actingAs($admin, 'admin');

        return $admin; 
}

the test code looks like this

   /** @test */
    public function test_admin_can_update_a_referral()
    {
        $this->signInAsAdmin();

        $program = factory('App\Referral')->create();

        $this->patch(route('admin.referral.update', $referral->id), $attributes = [
            'name' => 'Changed'
        ])->assertRedirect(route('admin.referral.index'));
    }

Test passes on local. Fails on Github Actions with error Response status code [403] is not a redirect status code.

my phpunit.xml looks like this

    <php>
        <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
        <server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
        <server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
        <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
        <server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
        <server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
    </php>

@michaeldigitalfractal I'm having a very similar issue, except I'm getting status code 500 not a redirect status code. Did you ever figure this out?

@LarryBarker try to take a look with this updated snippet
https://github.com/roberto-butti/laravel7-ghactions/blob/master/.github/workflows/laravel_db_manual.yml

@roberto-butti thanks for the reply. What am I looking for specifically? Mostly seems like dB configuration and docker setup? I’m not using any of that, and the error makes me think it’s not related to the database but routes? Correct me if I’m wrong though.

@LarryBarker could you share here your snippet of your test ? I would like to replicate your issue, to see if I could help.

Sure, it’s related to Livewire, but the test fails before the Livewire assertion. Here’s the first test that fails:

?php

namespace Tests\Feature\Auth;

use App\Admin;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Livewire\Livewire;
use Tests\TestCase;

class LoginTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;

/** @test */
public function can_view_login_page()
{
    $this->get(route('login'))
        ->assertSuccessful()
        ->assertSeeLivewire('auth.login');
}

Hi @LarrayBraker, I'm using this basic yml file for GH Actions:

name: Laravel

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  laravel-tests:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Copy .env
      run: php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');"
    - name: Install Dependencies
      run: composer install -q --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-progress --prefer-dist
    - name: Generate key
      run: php artisan key:generate
    - name: Directory Permissions
      run: chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache
    - name: Create Database
      run: |
        mkdir -p database
        touch database/database.sqlite
    - name: Execute tests (Unit and Feature tests) via PHPUnit
      env:
        DB_CONNECTION: sqlite
        DB_DATABASE: database/database.sqlite
      run: vendor/bin/phpunit --testdox

The Feature test used is:

<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Tests\TestCase;

class RoutingTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;
    /** @test */
    public function can_view_login_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('login'))
            ->assertSuccessful();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function can_view_public_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('index'))
            ->assertSuccessful();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function can_not_view_protected_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('dashboard'))
            ->assertRedirect();
    }
}

this is ok, and everything is fine, locally and on github actions.
Now i will try to add "assertSeeLivewire" method

I have tried also the assertSeeLiverwire. method:

<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Tests\TestCase;

class RoutingTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;
    protected $seed = true;

    /** @test */
    public function can_view_login_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('login'))
            ->assertSuccessful();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function can_view_public_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('index'))
            ->assertSuccessful();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function can_not_view_protected_page()
    {
        $this->get(route('dashboard'))
            ->assertRedirect();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function user_can_view_protected_page()
    {
        $this->actingAs(User::first())->get(route('dashboard'))
            ->assertOk();
    }
    /** @test */
    public function user_can_view_protected_form()
    {
        $this->actingAs(User::first())->get(route('merchant.menu.create'))
            ->assertOk()->assertSeeLivewire("merchant.menu.edit-form");
    }
}

I updated yml file with these things:

• using v2 of actions checkout: actions/checkout@v2
• fixing directory pemrissions: chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache
• adding env parameters for DB_CONNECTION and DB_DATABASE

Thanks for your input! I was able to do some debugging by using the `withoutErrorHandling()` method in the test class. This allowed me to see the exception that was causing the test to fail. From there, I found out it was a problem with the route for that test method. Everything is working now, but I will be using your example to update my GH actions! Thanks again :)
