Anyone else using Herd and running tests? | Laravel | Page 1

How do I setup my Laravel application to run tests not in my Herd database, but in a separate one. Everything was going great until I migrated my application to Herd locally. Once I ran my tests it wiped out my local database. PHPUnit.xml is already set to testing environment with a different database, but everytime I run my tests it wipes out the local db in Herd instead of using the test DB I configured. Not sure how to change this. Thanks!

I figured out my own issue. I had cached the local environment. Running php artisan optimize:clear took care of the issue.

Was about to suggest that. You can add a check in the base TestCase that aborts if the database connection isn't the one you expect.
