For laravel API I have write the test cases. But whenever I am running the test cases it always failed with below error,

1) Tests\Feature\CompanyTest::orgTest
Expected status code 200 but received 404.
Failed asserting that 200 is identical to 404.

After adding the $this->withoutExceptionHandling(); to testcase code it return the below error,

1) Tests\Feature\CompanyTest::orgTest
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException: POST domainname/index.php/api/company

/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/Concerns/InteractsWithExceptionHandling.php:126
/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Http/Kernel.php:415
/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Http/Kernel.php:113
/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/Concerns/MakesHttpRequests.php:507
/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/Concerns/MakesHttpRequests.php:473
/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/Concerns/MakesHttpRequests.php:332
/tests/Feature/CompanyTest.php:21

My Code in Test File is,

public function orgTest()
    {
        $requestData = ["organizationId" => 10,"offset"=>1,"limit"=>10,"notificationId"=>""];
        $response = $this->withoutExceptionHandling();
        $response->postJson('/index.php/api/company',$requestData);
        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }

I have googled the error and tried many solutions but unable to succeed. Anyone please let me know whats the issue.

It is a 404 error, so your webpage is not found :

Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException: POST domainname/index.php/api/company

Bad way to go, post to /api/company or with /index.php/api/company but not with "domainname" !

If it is not working, check your route config for that api route. Are your controller and action declared well ?

  • I have tried with `/index.php/api/company` only. Also, I am able to access this API from the postman – Narayan Aug 10 '20 at 13:40
  • Which url are you putting inside postman ? Do you make some checks inside your action code and allow only some HTTP methods ie GET rejected, POST ok ? – BendaThierry.com Aug 10 '20 at 13:43
  • I am putting the same URL with domain name in postman and its working correctly. Also, I have tried to get, and post issue is the same. – Narayan Aug 10 '20 at 13:49
  • hmm strange... if I were you I will check the action code and the route config very closely to check twice everything is well formatted. and I will do some tests with `/api/company`. – BendaThierry.com Aug 10 '20 at 13:54
  • Did you follow some tutorial like these one : https://medium.com/@mscherrenberg/unit-testing-your-api-in-laravel-5-6-7172bcdc593d – BendaThierry.com Aug 10 '20 at 13:55
  • Maybe these one looks better : https://www.twilio.com/blog/unit-testing-laravel-api-phpunit – BendaThierry.com Aug 10 '20 at 13:56
  • I am tried the same but no success. The only difference is I am not using migration. – Narayan Aug 10 '20 at 14:12

By default, laravel's routing does not explicitly show that it is a php file rather than it has dedicated endpoints which you decide on the routing file. So index.php shouldn't be a valid route for laravel.

A 404 error status code refers to a Not Found Error. Maybe the api url that you are trying to access does not match the one inside the routes file whether you are using web.php or api.php.

I suggest using php artisan route:list on the base path of the project to properly see that the route you wanted is registered and match it from there.

It seems to me that PHPUnit can't find not only this URL but the whole website. You could check it by request to "/" in your test.

If I'm right, first of all, I'll suggest checking the param APP_URL in your .env.testing. Usually, I set it as APP_URL=http://localhost, and it works for me.

A 404 code means there was nothing found at the specified route. It could be the route you specified index.php/api/company. Try routing to [host:port]/api/company
