I am testing my api routes in my laravel app, and I struggle why laravel test always inaccurate. To simulate 404 status code, I created a test with non existing route, but it always returns 200 status code.
public function testTicketsLists()
{
$user = factory(User::class)->create();
$response = $this->actingAs($user, 'web')->withSession(['foo' => 'bar'])->get("api/{$this->endpoint}/ticketss");
$response
->assertStatus(404);
// $response->dump();
}
Expected status code 404 but received 200. Failed asserting that 404 is identical to 200.
The ticketss endpoint is does not exists so I expected a 404 status code
api.php
/*
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| services
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
// get all client api methods
Route::get('services/methods', 'Api\ServicesController@methods');
// get service lists
Route::get('services/lists', 'Api\ServicesController@serviceLists');
// get service details by id per client
Route::get('services/{id}/details', 'Api\ServicesController@details');
// all service ids
Route::get('services/serviceids', 'Api\ServicesController@serviceids');
/*
Update, I did some debugging, now I understand why it doesn't return 404 response

The statusCode is always 200, how can I properly test in this scenario ?
