Export Testing - Call to undefined method Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel::fake()

[kaip-e]

I am pretty new to Laravel Excel. However i managed to write multiple Classes and Controller to handle different exports with the help of the great documentation (using v3.1).

However I am stuck at writing my test for those. Here are some parts of my code:

namespace Tests\Feature;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel;

use App\User;
use App\Configuration;
use Tests\TestCase;

[...] Some more tests and a setUp()

public function testDownloadWithoutMaterialsXlsx()
    {
        Excel::fake();

        $this->actingAs($this->user)
             ->get('/offerexport/' . $this->configuration->id .'/25000/0');
    
        Excel::assertDownloaded('offer.xlsx', function(OfferExportWithoutMaterials $export) {
            // Assert that the correct export is downloaded.
            return $export->collection()->contains('Raumname');
        });
    }

Upon running my test i get the errors:

1. Call to undefined method Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel::fake()
2. Call to undefined method Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel::assertDownloaded

However i managed to find out, that the ::assertDownlaoded function is now available in Maatwebsite\Excel\Fakes\ExcelFake.php;

What am I missing here? Thanks for your help! :)

You have to call it on the facade Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::fake()

Thanks for your quick reply!
Same goes for the ::assertDowload or do I need to call that on the facade Maatwebsite\Excel\Fakes\ExcelFake ?

On the facade too

Perfect. All test are running smoothly. :)

One more questions for future reference:
My Export model returns a collection as export. If i want to test an export from a view is it enough to change
return $export->collection()->contains('Raumname'); to return $export->view()->contains('Raumname');

Thanks for your time.

view() doesn't have a contains method. You would either have to render that view (->view()->render()) and check with normal asserts that string contains your string, or get the data you have passed to the view with ->view()->getData() and check if array contains your value.
