Laravel 5 PHPUnit - Invalid JSON was returned from the route
The problem is the CSRF Token.
You could disable the middleware by using the WithoutMiddleware trait:
<?phpuse Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;class ExampleTest extends TestCase{ use WithoutMiddleware; //}Or, if you would like to only disable middleware for a few test methods, you may call the withoutMiddleware method from within the test methods:
<?phpclass ExampleTest extends TestCase{ /** * A basic functional test example. * * @return void */ public function testBasicExample() { $this->withoutMiddleware(); $this->visit('/') ->see('Laravel 5'); }}
