How to test authentication via API with Laravel Passport?

Question

I\'m trying to test the authentication with Laravel\'s Passport and there\'s no way... always received a 401 of that client is invalid, I\'ll leave you what I\'ve tried:

I wasn't familiar with the Passport tool that Dwight is referring to when I wrote this, so it's possible that's a simpler solution. But here's something that may help. It produces a token for you, that you can then apply to your mock-API call.

/**
 * @param Authenticatable $model
 * @param array $scope
 * @param bool $personalAccessToken
 * @return mixed
 */
public function makeOauthLoginToken(Authenticatable $model = null, array $scope = ['*'], $personalAccessToken = true)
{
    $tokenName = $clientName = 'testing';
    Artisan::call('passport:client', ['--personal' => true, '--name' => $clientName]);
    if (!$personalAccessToken) {
        $clientId = app(Client::class)->where('name', $clientName)->first(['id'])->id;
        Passport::$personalAccessClient = $clientId;
    }
    $userId = $model->getKey();
    return app(PersonalAccessTokenFactory::class)->make($userId, $tokenName, $scope)->accessToken;
}

Then you an just apply it to the headers:

$user = app(User::class)->first($testUserId);
$token = $this->makeOauthLoginToken($user);
$headers = ['authorization' => "Bearer $token"];
$server = $this->transformHeadersToServerVars($headers);

$body = $cookies = $files = [];
$response = $this->call($method, $uri, $body, $cookies, $files, $server);

$content = $response->getContent();
$code = $response->getStatusCode();

If you need to be able to parse the token, try this:

/**
 * @param string $token
 * @param Authenticatable $model
 * @return Authenticatable|null
 */
public function parsePassportToken($token, Authenticatable $model = null)
{
    if (!$model) {
        $provider = config('auth.guards.passport.provider');
        $model = config("auth.providers.$provider.model");
        $model = app($model);
    }
    //Passport's token parsing is looking to a bearer token using a protected method.  So a dummy-request is needed.
    $request = app(Request::class);
    $request->headers->add(['authorization' => "Bearer $token"]);
    //Laravel\Passport\Guards\TokenGuard::authenticateViaBearerToken() expects the user table to leverage the
    //HasApiTokens trait.  If that's missing, a query macro can satisfy its expectation for this method.
    if (!method_exists($model, 'withAccessToken')) {
        Builder::macro('withAccessToken', function ($accessToken) use ($model) {
            $model->accessToken = $accessToken;
            return $this;
        });
        /** @var TokenGuard $guard */
        $guard = Auth::guard('passport');
        return $guard->user($request)->getModel();
    }
    /** @var TokenGuard $guard */
    $guard = Auth::guard('passport');
    return $guard->user($request);
}
