I have a Signup component on a /signup route. The component loads a code property from a cookie (Cookie::get('code')).
How can I test that a call the /signup route actually sets the code property properly?
I know how to test the component if the property is set but I don't see how to call /signup but then how to get access to the component to test?

To be clear here's what I want:
$this->get('/signup?code=foobar');
$component = // some magic here
expect($component->code)->toEqual('foobar');
my code in my component looks like this:
public function __construct()
{
$this->code = Cookie::get('code');
}

see the example, its exactly what youre looking for
Livewire::test(CreatePost::class)
->set('title', 'foo')
->call('create');
$this->assertTrue(Post::whereTitle('foo')->exists());
Livewire::test(CreatePost::class, ['initialTitle' => 'foo'])
->assertSet('title', 'foo');
etc.

Did you end up sorting this out? If not, can you share your route definition and full component class?
Just want to confirm how you're setting the cookie from the query string.
Also is the __construct in the Livewire component or somewhere else? As it's not recommended to use the constructor with Livewire components, instead use mount().

nope didn't get it sorted, tested it manually
setting cookie in middleware:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($request->hasCookie('code')) {
return $next($request);
}
if (($code = $request->query('code')) && Referrer::referralCodeExists($code)) {
return redirect($request->fullUrl())->withCookie(cookie()->forever('code', $code));
}
return $next($request);
}

bah of course, been a while since I've been in livewire land, I'll move it, thanks for the reminder
Just stepped out, I’ll share the route and component when I’m back

```php
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($re...
Ah right, yep.
So I think I would test this in two parts, one test for the middleware to ensure the cookie is set correctly and another for the component to ensure it reads the cookie correctly.
Test one:
$this->get('/signup?code=foobar')
->assertCookie('code', 'foobar');
Test two:
// Set cookie manually in test to 'foobar'
livewire(MyComponent::class)->assertSet('code', 'foobar');
So in typing this out, I realised that I don't actually know how to set a cookie in a test 😂
Looking into it, it seems normally you'd do something like $this->withCookie()->get();.
But Livewire's test object doesn't have anything like that, that I know of. So that's a problem 🤔
dense tiger
glad you came around, lol
Haha 😂 I don't event know what a good way would be to add it.
Typically a livewire test would be
Livewire::test(Component::class) which mounts the component. But ideally it needs a Livewire::withCookie()->test(Component::class).
Problem with that is Livewire:: returns the Livewire manager where as Livewire::test() returns a Testable Livewire object. The cookies method really should be on the testable Livewire object, but somehow run before it runs mount on the component. Bit of a chicken and egg problem
dense tiger
Haha you found the fix for the test already, sitting between keyboard and chair 😬

SEBKAC instead of PEBKAC, got it
dense tiger
Haha yeah exactly
quiet raptor
imo it's not a totally unreasonable use case
dense tiger
I've made a note of it to make sure we have a solution for V3 because yeah I agree there should be a solution for it
If we can come up with a clean way to do it in V2, I'm sure Caleb would be willing to add it
dense tiger
Ok sweet! 😁
dense tiger
Yup! One other way around it is to wrap the component in a controller (🤮) and use the controller to load the cookie (which you can test using Laravel methods) and pass the cookie value to the component
quiet raptor
might as well just rewrite it using inertia

quiet raptor
kk tell caleb i'm re-writing this in inertia kthxbye
dense tiger
Need to make sure theres cookies to keep the devs happy
