DOM Assertions for Laravel

Latest Version on Packagist GitHub Tests Action Status GitHub Code Style Action Status Total Downloads

This package provides some extra assertion helpers to use in HTTP Tests. If you have ever needed more control over your view assertions than assertSee, assertSeeInOrder, assertSeeText, assertSeeTextInOrder, assertDontSee, and assertDontSeeText then this is the package for you.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sinnbeck/laravel-dom-assertions --dev

Example

Imagine we have a view with this html

<nav>
    <ul>
        @foreach ($menuItems as $menuItem)
            <li @class([
                "p-3 text-white",
                "text-blue-500 active" => Route::is($menuItem->route)
            ])>
            <a href="{{route($menuItem->route)}}">{{$menuItem->name}}</a>
        </li>
        @endforeach
    </ul>
</nav>

Now we want to make sure that the correct menu item is selected when on this route. We could try with some regex to match it, but it might be easily break.

$response = $this->get(route('about'))
    ->assertOk();
$this->assertMatchesRegularExpression(
    '/<li(.)*class="(.)*active(.)*">(.|\n)*About(.|\n)*?<\/li>/',
    $response->getContent()
);

But this can be very brittle, and a simple linebreak can cause it to fail.

With this package you can now use an expressive syntax like this.

$this->get(route('about'))
    ->assertOk()
    ->assertElementExists('nav > ul', function(\Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertElement $ul) {
        $ul->contains('li', [
            'class' => 'active',
            'text' => 'About'
        ]);
        $ul->doesntContain('li', [
            'class' => 'active',
            'text' => 'Home'
        ]);
    });

Usage

Testing the DOM

When calling a route in a test you might want to make sure that the view contains certain elements. To test this you can use the ->assertElementExists() method on the test response. The following will ensure that there is a body tag in the parsed response. Be aware that this package assumes a proper html structure and will wrap your html in a html, head and body tag if they are missing!

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists();

In case you want to get a specific element on the page, you can supply a css selector as the first argument to get a specific one.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#nav');

The second argument of ->assertElementExists() is a closure that receives an instance of \Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertElement. This allows you to assert things about the element itself. Here we are asserting that the element is a div.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->is('div');
    });

Just like with forms you can assert that certain attributes are present

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->has('x-data', '{foo: 1}');
    });

or doesnt exist

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->doesntHave('x-data', '{foo: 2}');
    });

You can also ensure that certain children exist.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->contains('div');
    });

If you need to be more specific you can use a css selector.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->contains('div:nth-of-type(3)');
    });

You can also check that the child element has certain attributes.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->contains('li.list-item', [
            'x-data' => 'foobar'
        ]);
    });

or ensure that certain children does not exist

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->doesntContain('li.list-item', [
            'x-data' => 'foobar'
        ]);
    });

Contains also allow a third argument to specify how many times the element should be matched.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->contains('li.list-item', [
            'x-data' => 'foobar'
        ], 3);
    });

If you just want to check for the element type you can leave out the second argument.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->contains('li.list-item', 3);
    });

You can also find a certain element and do assertions on it. Be aware that it will only check the first matching element.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->find('li.list-item');
    });

You can add a closure as the second argument which receives an instance of \Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertElement.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists('#overview', function (AssertElement $assert) {
        $assert->find('li.nth-of-type(3)', function (AssertElement $element) {
            $element->is('li');
        });
    });

This means that you can infinitely assert down the dom structure.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertElementExists(function (AssertElement $element) {
        $element->find('div', function (AssertElement $element) {
            $element->is('div');
            $element->contains('p', function (AssertElement $element) {
                $element->is('p');
                $element->contains('#label', function (AssertElement $element) {
                    $element->is('span');
                });
            });
            $element->contains('p:nth-of-type(2)', function (AssertElement $element) {
                $element->is('p');
                $element->contains('.sub-header', function (AssertElement $element) {
                    $element->is('h4');
                });
            });
        });
    });

Testing forms

Testing forms allows using all the dom asserts from above, but has a few special helpers to help test for forms. Instead of using ->assertElementExists() we will use ->assertFormExists() method on the test response.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists();

The ->assertFormExists() method will check the first form it finds. In case you have more than one form, and want to use a different form that the first, you can supply a css selector as the first argument to get a specific one.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists('#users-form');

If there is more than one hit, it will return the first matching form.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(null, 'nav .logout-form');

The second argument of ->assertFormExists() is a closure that receives an instance of \Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertForm. This allows you to assert things about the form itself. Here we are asserting that it has a certain action and method

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists('#form1', function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->hasAction('/logout')
            ->hasMethod('post');
    });

If you leave out the css selector, it will automatically default to finding the first form on the page

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->hasAction('/logout')
            ->hasMethod('post');
    });

You can also check for csrf and method spoofing

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->hasAction('/update-user')
            ->hasMethod('post')
            ->hasCSRF()
            ->hasSpoofMethod('PUT');
    });

Checking for methods other than GET and POST will automatically forward the call to ->hasSpoofMethod()

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->hasMethod('PUT');
    });

Or even arbitrary attributes

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->has('x-data', 'foo')
        $form->hasEnctype('multipart/form-data'); //it also works with magic methods
    });

You can also easily test for inputs or text areas

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->containsInput([
            'name' => 'first_name',
            'value' => 'Gunnar',
        ])
        ->containsTextarea([
            'name' => 'comment',
            'value' => '...',
        ]);
    });

Or arbitrary children

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->contains('label', [
            'for' => 'username',
        ])
        ->containsButton([ //or use a magic method
            'type' => 'submit',
        ]);
    });

You can also ensure that certain children does not exist.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->doesntContain('label', [
            'for' => 'username',
        ]);
    });

Testing for selects is also easy and works a bit like the assertFormExists(). It takes a selector as the first argument, and closure as the second argument. The second argument returns an instance of \Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertSelect. This can be used to assert that the select has certain attributes.

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->findSelect('select:nth-of-type(2)', function (AssertSelect $select) {
            $select->has('name', 'country');
        });
    });

You can also assert that it has certain options. You can either check for one specific or an array of options

$this->get('/some-route')
    ->assertFormExists(function (AssertForm $form) {
        $form->findSelect('select:nth-of-type(2)', function (AssertSelect $select) {
            $select->containsOption([
                [
                    'x-data' => 'none',
                    'value'  => 'none',
                    'text'   => 'None',
                ]
            ])
            ->containsOptions(
                [
                    'value' => 'dk',
                    'text'  => 'Denmark',
                ],
                [
                    'value' => 'us',
                    'text'  => 'USA',
                ],
            );
        });
    });

You can check if a select has a value.

$this->get('/some-route')
        ->assertFormExists('#form1', function (AssertForm $form) {
            $form->findSelect('select', function (AssertSelect $select) {
                $select->hasValue('da');
            });
        });

You can also check selects with multiple values

$this->get('/some-route')
        ->assertFormExists('#form1', function (AssertForm $form) {
            $form->findSelect('select', function (AssertSelect $select) {
                $select->hasValues(['da', 'en']);
            });
        });

Testing for datalists works mostly the same as selects. Only difference is that the selector needs to be either datalist or an id (eg. #my-list). The assertion uses the \Sinnbeck\DomAssertions\Asserts\AssertDatalist class.

$this->get('/some-route')
        ->assertFormExists('#form1', function (AssertForm $form) {
            $form->findDatalist('#skills', function (AssertDatalist $list) {
                $list->containsOptions(
                    [
                        'value' => 'PHP',
                    ],
                    [
                        'value' => 'Javascript',
                    ],
                );
            });
        });

Usage with Livewire

As livewire uses the TestResponse class from laravel, you can easily use this package with Livewire without any changes

Livewire::test(UserForm::class)
    ->assertElementExists('form', function (AssertElement $form) {
        $form->find('#submit', function (AssertElement $assert) {
            $assert->is('button');
            $assert->has('text', 'Submit');
        })->contains('[wire\:model="name"]', 1);
    });

Usage with Blade views

You can also use this package to test blade views.

$this->view('navigation')
    ->assertElementExists('nav > ul', function(AssertElement $ul) {
        $ul->contains('li', [
            'class' => 'active',
        ]);
    });
