Acces to config variable when testing a package in laravel

Question

I'm writing a test in Laravel and I want to unittest this piece of code:

if (file_exists(\Config::get('maintenance.dir.api'))) {
        throw new ServiceUnavailableException('We are down for maintenance');
    }

I'm using Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase and I can't access to the config variables from the main app in the test. In my package, I don't have any config. Can I mock the config folder or something like that?

Thank you!

are you trying to get any config from `.env` file ? – imrealashu Jan 31 '17 at 15:38 — imrealashu, Jan 31 '17 at 15:38

You can 'mock' config variables by simply setting them:

config(['maintenance.dir.api' => 'mock value'])

Is there any other documentation available about this way of mocking config variables? – yourivdloo Mar 06 '23 at 12:21
