Writes Laravel tests using PHPUnit. Use when "write tests", "add tests", "phpunit", "laravel test", "feature test", "unit test", "mock", "factory", or testing controllers, models, services, actions, jobs, artisan commands, or API endpoints.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Testing Laravel Use PHPUnit with Laravel's testing helpers. Every test file starts with `declare(strict_types=1)`. ## Test Classification - **Feature tests** (`tests/Feature/`): HTTP requests through the full stack — routes, controllers, middleware, validation, database. Use `$this->getJson()`, `$this->postJson()`, etc. - **Unit tests** (`tests/Unit/`): Isolated logic — services, actions, value objects, helpers. No HTTP, minimal database. Default to feature tests for anything touching routes, controllers, or models. Use unit tests for pure logic and action classes. ## Critical Rules - `use RefreshDatabase` trait in every test class that touches the database - Model factories for all test data — use factories instead of raw `DB::table()` inserts - One behavior per test method. Name with `test_` prefix: `test_user_can_update_own_profile` - Assert both response status AND side effects (DB state, dispatched jobs, sent notifications) - `actingAs($user)` for auth — use this instead of manually setting sessions or tokens - `postJson()` / `getJson()` for API endpoints — sets proper Accept headers and returns JSON assertions …

How to install
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/testing-laravel@sha256:98dabd3976657cfbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260227.215f429, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
