How to test laravel pipeline?

To test a Laravel pipeline, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a test class for your pipeline by running the following command in the command line:

1

php artisan make:test PipelineTest

1. In the newly created test class (e.g., tests/Feature/PielineTest.php), you can write tests for your pipeline by calling the handle method of the pipeline and asserting the results. Here is an example:

use TestsTestCase;
use AppPipelinesExamplePipeline;

class PipelineTest extends TestCase
{
    public function test_pipeline_returns_correct_data()
    {
        $data = [];
        
        $pipeline = app(ExamplePipeline::class);
        
        $result = $pipeline->send($data)
            ->through([
                // Add your pipeline stages here
            ])
            ->thenReturn();
        
        $this->assertEquals($expectedResult, $result);
    }
}

1. Run the test using PHPUnit by running the following command in the command line:

1

vendor/bin/phpunit

1. Make sure to add appropriate pipeline stages and adjust the assertion based on your pipeline requirements.

By following these steps, you can effectively test your Laravel pipeline to ensure that it functions correctly.
