Example of test
<?phpclass YourCommandTest extends TestCase{ public function testExample() { Artisan::call('your_command', [ 'command_parameter_1' => 'value1', 'command_parameter_2' => 'value2', ]); // If you need result of console output $resultAsText = Artisan::output(); $this->assertTrue(true); }}

<?phpclass YourCommandTest extends TestCase{ public function testExample() { $this->artisan('command', ['param' => 'value']); }}
