Answer 1

If anyone bounce to this error during test with Laravel 6 project.

Try to check if the extends TestCase is using the right TestCase. It could be due to Laravel 6 make:test generated test using the wrong TestCase.

Change

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

To

use Tests\TestCase;

The problem should solve.
