Generate PHP Tests

Generate PHPUnit or Pest tests for the given PHP/Laravel class or file.

What To Do

1. Read the target file to understand public methods, dependencies, and validation rules
2. Generate test class in the correct tests/ subdirectory
3. Create factory or test data using Laravel factories
4. Write test methods following Arrange-Act-Assert
5. Cover edge cases: null values, empty inputs, boundary values, unauthorized access

Test Types

Unit Test (default)

• Extend TestCase (not Laravel TestCase — no framework boot)
• Use PHPUnit MockObject or Mockery for dependencies
• No database, no HTTP

Feature Test (--type=feature)

• Extend Laravel's TestCase with RefreshDatabase
• Test service class behavior with real database via factories

HTTP Test (--type=http)

• actingAs($user) for authenticated requests
• getJson(), postJson(), putJson(), deleteJson()
• assertStatus, assertJson, assertDatabaseHas

Database Test (--type=database)

• Test Eloquent scopes, relations, and query results
• assertDatabaseHas / assertDatabaseMissing

Arguments

• <class-or-file>: Target class name or file path
• --type=<unit|feature|http|database>: Test type (default: unit)
• --pest: Generate Pest syntax instead of PHPUnit
