README

A Laravel package for automatically generating comprehensive Pest tests for your application based on code analysis.
Description
Generate Tests Easy is a powerful tool that analyzes your Laravel application's models, controllers, and database structure to automatically generate comprehensive test suites using Pest PHP. It can detect relationships, scopes, validation rules, and other features to create relevant tests that ensure your application works as expected.
Features
- Automatically generates Pest tests for models, controllers, and other components
- Analyzes database structure to create appropriate tests
- Detects and tests model relationships, scopes, and validation rules
- Supports API controllers with specialized API test generation
- Installs and configures Pest if not already present
- Configures Pest Arch presets for PHP, security, and Laravel
- Supports Livewire components (if detected in your project)
- Supports Filament resources and panels (if detected in your project)
- Works with both new and existing projects

Installation
composer require gsferro/generate-tests-easy --dev
Usage
Basic Usage
To generate tests for all models and controllers in your application:
php artisan generate-tests:all
Generate Tests for Specific Components
# Generate tests for a specific model php artisan generate-tests:model User # Generate tests for a specific controller php artisan generate-tests:controller UserController # Generate tests for models based on database tables php artisan generate-tests:database # Generate tests for Filament resources php artisan generate-tests:filament PatientResource # Generate tests for all Filament resources php artisan generate-tests:filament --all
Options
All commands support the following options:
--force
: Overwrite existing tests--verbose
: Show detailed information during generation
Types of Tests Generated
Filament Resource Structure
When working with Filament resources, the package recognizes the standard Filament resource structure:
PatientResource.php
PatientResource/
├── Pages/
│ ├── CreatePatient.php
│ ├── EditPatient.php
│ ├── ListPatients.php
│ └── ViewPatient.php
The package will generate appropriate tests for each component of the resource:
- A test for the main resource class (PatientResource)
- Tests for each page class (ListPatients, CreatePatient, EditPatient, ViewPatient)
Each test is tailored to the specific functionality of the component, ensuring comprehensive test coverage. For example, ViewPatient tests will verify that:
- The page can be rendered successfully
- The page displays the correct record data
- Relationships are properly displayed
- The edit button works correctly
Model Tests
- Basic Model Tests: Tests model attributes, inheritance, and traits
- Relationship Tests: Tests each relationship defined in the model
- Scope Tests: Tests each scope method defined in the model
- Validation Tests: Tests validation rules defined in the model
- Factory Tests: Tests model factory if available
Controller Tests
- Unit Tests: Tests controller methods, routes, and configuration
- Feature Tests: Tests HTTP requests to controller endpoints
- API Tests: Tests API endpoints for API controllers
Livewire Tests (if Livewire is installed)
- Component Tests: Tests Livewire component rendering and functionality
- Event Tests: Tests Livewire events and listeners
Filament Tests (if Filament is installed)
- Resource Tests: Tests Filament resource configuration, model association, and navigation
- List Page Tests: Tests the resource list page, table columns, search, and sorting functionality
- Create Page Tests: Tests the resource create page, form fields, validation, and record creation
- Edit Page Tests: Tests the resource edit page, form fields, validation, and record updates
- Form Tests: Tests form components, validation rules, and data submission
- Table Tests: Tests table columns, filters, actions, and bulk actions
- Panel Tests: Tests Filament panel configuration and access
Configuration
Publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=generate-tests-easy-config
Configuration Options
return [ // Path where tests will be generated 'test_path' => 'tests', // Whether to install Pest if not already installed 'install_pest' => true, // Whether to configure Pest Arch presets 'configure_arch_presets' => true, // Test coverage target percentage 'coverage_target' => 80, // Custom stubs path (if you want to customize the test templates) 'stubs_path' => null, ];
Extending
You can extend the package by:
- Publishing and customizing the test stubs
- Creating custom analyzers for specific components
- Adding custom test generators

Running Package Tests
This package comes with its own test suite to ensure functionality works as expected. To run the tests:
# Run all tests composer test # Run tests with coverage report composer test:coverage # Run only unit tests composer test:unit # Run only feature tests composer test:feature # Run architecture tests composer test:arch
These commands are defined in the composer.json
file and use Pest PHP for testing. The test suite includes unit tests, feature tests, and architecture tests to ensure the package works correctly.
