Laravel Tag Assertions

Laravel ships with a number of awesome features, but one of my favorites is how easy it makes testing your application.

Laravel Tag Assertions aims to make the incredible HTTP tests functionality that Laravel offers even more powerful by adding useful assertions for HTML tags.

Motivations

Frequently I've wanted to assert a response contains certain elements (ie: Vue component with certain props), but didn't want newlines and other whitespace to matter. Using methods like $response->assertSee(...) is not ideal for this particular use-case. Laravel Dusk wasn't a desirable option either because it can be slow and sometimes fragile.

Installation

composer require --dev mikerogne/laravel-tag-assertions

Once installed, your TestResponse instances now have access to new assertions. See below for usage & examples.

Usage

TestResponse::assertSeeTag(string $selector, array $attributes)

$selector is the name of a tag you want to match. You can get as specific as you want. $attributes is either an array of attributes that the tag must have.

Simple	More Specific
button	button.btn.btn-default
a	a[role=tab]

TestResponse::assertSeeTag(string $selector, $callback)

If you specify a callback, three parameters will be passed to it:

$tag: This is the name of the tag itself, ie: button or a.
$attributes: This is an array of attributes for the tag, ie: ["class" => "btn btn-default"].
$content: This is a string representing the content (innerHtml). Whitespace is included.

TestResponse::assertSeeTagContent(string $selector, string $content)

Sometimes we only care that a tag with specific content is on the page. A common use-case for this is a textarea field.

$response->assertSeeTagContent('textarea[name=about]', $user->about);

Examples

Form Validation

<body>
    <h1>Contrived Exampleh1>
    
    <form>
        <p>
            <label>First Namelabel>
            <input type="text" name="first_name" value="{{ old('first_name') }}">
        p>
        <p>
            <label>Last Namelabel>
            <input type="text" name="last_name" value="{{ old('last_name') }}">
        p>
        <p>
            <label>Emaillabel>
            <input type="text" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}">
        p>
        <p>
            <button type="submit">Registerbutton>
        p>
    form>
body>



namespace TestsFeature;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    /** @test */
    public function uses_old_input_when_validation_fails()
    {
        $data = [
            'first_name' => 'John',
            'last_name' => 'Doe',
            'email' => '', // oops!
        ];
        
        $response = $this->post('/register', $data);
        
        $response->assertSeeTag('input[name=first_name]', [
            'value' => $data['first_name'],
        ]);
        
        $response->assertSeeTag('input[name=last_name]', [
            'value' => $data['last_name'],
        ]);
    }
}

Vue Component

<body>
    <h1>Another Contrived Exampleh1>
    
    <blog-posts
        :posts="{{ $posts->toJson() }}"
    >blog-posts>
body>



namespace TestsFeature;

class VueTest extends TestCase
{
    /** @test */
    public function lists_blog_posts()
    {
        $posts = factory(AppPost::class, 5)->create();
        
        $response = $this->get('/', $data);
        
        $response->assertSeeTagContent('h1', 'Another Contrived Example');
        
        $response->assertSeeTag('blog-posts', [
            ':posts' => e($posts->toJson()),
        ]);
    }
}

Callback Example

<body>
    <h1>Callback Exampleh1>

    
    <h2 class="section-title" data-foobar="bazburk">
        Product Review
    h2>
    <p class="summary">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.p>
    
body>



namespace TestsFeature;

class CallbackTest extends TestCase
{
    /** @test */
    public function shows_product_review()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/', $data);
        
        $response->assertSeeTag('h2', function($tag, $attributes, $content) {
            // $tag -> "h2"
            // $attributes -> ['class' => 'section-title', 'data-foobar' => 'bazburk']
            // $content -> Product Review (but including the whitespace!)
            
            return IlluminateSupportStr::contains($content, 'Product Review');
        });
        
        $response->assertSeeTagContent('p.summary', 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.');
    }
}
