Laravel Testing: Storage fake "Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting"

[FrazeColder]

Hi,

I have written a few tests for my own project but I am facing a strange error... My test should test if a image passes the validation rules, gets uploaded and really exists under the given path. For that I am mocking my storing as described in the docs with Storage::fake.

Also, I am using this technique to mock the Storage::fake path for the spatie media library which I am using.

This is my test:

/** @test */
public function a_logged_in_user_deletes_his_avatar_passes_fake_storage()
{
    $fake_storage_disk = 'users';
    Storage::fake($fake_storage_disk);

    config()->set('filesystems.disks.userFiles', [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => Storage::disk($fake_storage_disk)->getAdapter()->getPathPrefix(),
    ]);

    $user = User::factory()->create();
    $this->actingAs($user);

    $filename = Str::random(20) . '.jpg';
    $file = UploadedFile::fake()->image($filename, 200, 200);

    $response = $this->json('POST', route('user.avatar.update', $user->name), [
        'avatar' => $file
    ]);

    $response->assertStatus(302);
    $this->assertTrue(Storage::disk($fake_storage_disk)->exists($user->id . '/' . $filename));

    $response = $this->json('POST', route('user.avatar.delete', $user->name), [
        'value' => 1
    ]);

    $response->assertStatus(302);
}

Here now comes the problems:

1. When running this tests (or even all tests where I test if I can upload an image and it exist) in row, it works like a charm. No problem at all!

2. When running ALL my tests, I get the problem that $this->assertTrue(Storage::disk($fake_storage_disk)->exists($user->id . '/' . $filename)); fails because it is saying Unable to assert that false is true. This actually means, the file doens't exists.

3. However, when I am trying to dd(Storage::disk($fake_storage_disk)->exists($user->id . '/' . $filename)) to check where the problem is I get this error:

Tests\Feature\User\LoggedIn\DeleteAvatar\UserTest::a_logged_in_user_deletes_his_avatar_fails_required_fake_storage
Error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting!

What also confuses me is why he is throwing this error in this line $this->assertTrue(Storage::disk($fake_storage_disk)->exists($user->id . '/' . $filename)); and not at the beginning when initializing Storage::fake. However, I get the same error when trying to dd(..) the Storage::fake...

Any ideas on how to solve this or where the problem is? Also, why the heck does it work when running it as a single test and also with other uploading tests but when running it with ALL other tests I have it fails?

Kind regards and thank you!
