Laravel framework classes not available in PHPUnit data provider

Question

I have something like the following set up in Laravel:

In /app/controllers/MyController.php:

class MyController extends         


        

Answer 1

The test will initialize much faster if you create the application right within the dataProvider method, especially if you have large set of items to test.

public function myDataProvider() {
    $this->createApplication();

    return [
        [ MyController::MAX_FILE_SIZE ]
    ];
}
