# Create Feature Test
Create a PHPUnit feature test for `$ARGUMENTS` following Laravel testing conventions.
## Test Location
`tests/Feature/`
## Current Test Setup
- PHPUnit 9.5.10
- Uses `RefreshDatabase` trait for clean DB state
- Environment: testing (defined in phpunit.xml)
- Factories available: `UserFactory` (others need to be created)
## Standard API Test Structure
```php
<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\{ModelName};
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Tests\TestCase;
class {ModelName}ControllerTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;
protected User $user;
protected function setUp(): void
{
parent::setUp();
$this->user = User::factory()->create();
}
/** @test */
public function it_can_list_all_resources()
{
// Arrange
{ModelName}::factory()->count(3)->create();
// Act
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->getJson('/api/{resources}');
// Assert
$response->assertStatus(200)
->assertJsonCount(3, 'data');
}
/** @test */
public function it_can_show_a_single_resource()
{
$resource = {ModelName}::factory()->create();
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->getJson("/api/{resource}/{$resource->id}");
$response->assertStatus(200)
->assertJsonPath('data.id', $resource->id);
}
/** @test */
public function it_can_create_a_resource()
{
$data = [
'name' => 'Test Resource',
'category_id' => 1,
// ... other required fields
];
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->postJson('/api/{resources}', $data);
$response->assertStatus(201);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('{table_name}', ['name' => 'Test Resource']);
}
/** @test */
public function it_validates_required_fields_on_create()
{
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->postJson('/api/{resources}', []);
$response->assertStatus(422)
->assertJsonValidationErrors(['name', 'category_id']);
}
/** @test */
public function it_can_update_a_resource()
{
$resource = {ModelName}::factory()->create();
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->putJson("/api/backoffice/{resources}/{$resource->id}", [
'name' => 'Updated Name'
]);
$response->assertStatus(200);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('{table_name}', ['name' => 'Updated Name']);
}
/** @test */
public function it_can_delete_a_resource()
{
$resource = {ModelName}::factory()->create();
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->deleteJson("/api/backoffice/{resources}/{$resource->id}");
$response->assertStatus(200);
$this->assertDatabaseMissing('{table_name}', ['id' => $resource->id]);
}
}
```
## Testing POS-Specific Flows
### Order Creation Test
```php
/** @test */
public function it_can_create_an_order_for_table()
{
$table = Table::factory()->create();
$inventory = Inventory::factory()->create(['price' => 100]);
$orderData = [
'table_id' => $table->id,
'order' => [
[
'id' => $inventory->id,
'name' => $inventory->name,
'price' => $inventory->price,
'qty' => 2,
]
]
];
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->postJson('/api/orders', $orderData);
$response->assertStatus(201);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('orders', ['table_id' => $table->id]);
}
```
### Invoice Creation Test
```php
/** @test */
public function it_can_create_invoice_from_order()
{
$table = Table::factory()->create();
$order = Order::factory()->create(['table_id' => $table->id]);
$invoiceData = [
'user_id' => $this->user->id,
'table_id' => $table->id,
'order' => $order->order,
'total' => 500,
];
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->postJson('/api/invoices', $invoiceData);
$response->assertStatus(201);
// Order should be deleted after invoice creation
$this->assertDatabaseMissing('orders', ['id' => $order->id]);
}
```
### Refund Test
```php
/** @test */
public function it_can_refund_an_invoice()
{
$invoice = Invoice::factory()->create([
'status' => Invoice::STATUS_PAYED
]);
$refundReason = RefundReason::factory()->create();
$response = $this->actingAs($this->user)
->postJson("/api/invoices/{$invoice->id}/refund", [
'refund_reason_id' => $refundReason->id
]);
$response->assertStatus(200);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('invoices', [
'id' => $invoice->id,
'status' => Invoice::STATUS_REFUNDED
]);
}
```
## Factory Creation Pattern
Create factories in `database/factories/`:
```php
<?php
namespace Database\Factories;
use App\Models\{ModelName};
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
class {ModelName}Factory extends Factory
{
protected $model = {ModelName}::class;
public function definition()
{
return [
'name' => $this->faker->word(),
'description' => $this->faker->sentence(),
'price' => $this->faker->numberBetween(100, 10000),
'status' => 1,
'category_id' => Category::factory(),
];
}
// State methods
public function inactive()
{
return $this->state(['status' => 0]);
}
}
```
## Running Tests
```bash
# Run all tests
./vendor/bin/phpunit
# Run specific test file
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Feature/InvoiceControllerTest.php
# Run specific test method
./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter=it_can_create_an_order
# Run with coverage
./vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-html coverage/
```
## Steps
1. Create test file in `tests/Feature/`
2. Create necessary factories in `database/factories/`
3. Use `RefreshDatabase` trait
4. Test all CRUD operations
5. Test validation rules
6. Test business logic (refunds, status changes, etc.)
7. Run tests to verify
