Storage facade fake not swapping for a performed request

[tkuijer]

• Laravel Version: 8.58.0
• PHP Version: 8.0.10
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL

Description:

When attempting to test file uploads in my application, the laravel documentation tells me to call Storage::fake(). This returns a FileSystemAdapter configured for the testing environment. But doesn't appear to be application-wide.

The fake file that gets uploaded isn't get stored in the testing path, but instead gets stored to the regular storage folder.

I attempted both the described method for handling file uploads, and the referenced method using the Storage facade. Both result in the file getting stored in the wrong folder.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Copy Test from https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/http-tests#testing-file-uploads
2. Copy Controller logic from https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/filesystem#file-uploads
3. Create route in routes/web.php: Route::post('/avatars', [UserAvatarController::class, 'update']);

Expected result:

• The faked uploaded file is stored in storage/framework/testing/disks/avatars
• Test passes

Actual result:

• The faked uploaded file gets stored in storage/app/avatars
• Test fails

In the Avatars Controller you are storing the file in avatars path on disk local.

Instead you want to save it to the disk avatars:

$path = $request->file('avatar')->store('', 'avatars');

// or 
$path = $request->file('avatar')->store('', [
    'disk' => 'avatars',
]);
