How to mock LDAP Laravel auth for unit testing -

in laravel project use ldap-connector package authenticate users against ldap

auth works fine out of box.

in /app/providers/authserviceprovider.php have policy defined manage ldap user access, example:

public function boot(gatecontract $gate) {     $this->registerpolicies($gate);      $gate->define('rewards', function ($user) {         return ($user->getadldap()->ingroup('admin') || $user->getadldap()->ingroup('marketing')) ? true : false;     });     // other policies      // ... } 

in controller check policy logged in user like:

class rewardcontroller extends controller {     public function __construct($handler = null) {         $this->authorize('rewards');     }     // other methods     // ... } 

everything works fine , if logged in user doesn't have marketing or admin group, controller throw 403 exception.

now, phpunit tests need mock ldap auth , provide access controller tests it's methods, otherwise policy throws me this action unauthorized. error

since ldap auth driver implemented don't think user model app/user used , can't have done $this->actingas($user) laravel docs here

i able find solution myself

i switched ldap connection package adldap2/adldap2-laravel

i used existing unit tests , created own auth admin group user:

<?php  use adldap\auth\guard; use adldap\connections\manager; use adldap\connections\provider; use adldap\contracts\connections\connectioninterface; use adldap\laravel\facades\adldap; use adldap\models\user; use adldap\query\builder; use adldap\schemas\schema; use adldap\search\factory; use illuminate\support\facades\auth; use adldap\models\group;  class testcase extends illuminate\foundation\testing\testcase {     public function pass_auth() {          $mockedprovider = $this->mock(provider::class);         $mockedbuilder = $this->mock(builder::class);         $mockedsearch = $this->mock(factory::class);         $mockedauth = $this->mock(guard::class);         $mockedconnection = $this->mock(connectioninterface::class);          $mockedconnection->shouldreceive('isbound')->once()->andreturn(true);          $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('getschema')->once()->andreturn(schema::get());         $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('getconnection')->once()->andreturn($mockedconnection);          $aduser = (new user([], $mockedbuilder))->setrawattributes([             'samaccountname' => ['jdoe'],             'mail'           => ['jdoe@email.com'],             'cn'             => ['john doe'],         ]);          $manager = new manager();         $manager->add('default', $mockedprovider);          adldap::shouldreceive('getmanager')->andreturn($manager);          $mockedprovider->shouldreceive('search')->once()->andreturn($mockedsearch);         $mockedprovider->shouldreceive('getschema')->andreturn(schema::get());         $mockedprovider->shouldreceive('auth')->once()->andreturn($mockedauth);          $mockedsearch->shouldreceive('users')->once()->andreturn($mockedsearch);         $mockedsearch->shouldreceive('select')->once()->andreturn($mockedbuilder);          $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('whereequals')->once()->andreturn($mockedbuilder);         $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('first')->once()->andreturn($aduser);          $mockedauth->shouldreceive('attempt')->once()->andreturn(true);          $this->asserttrue(auth::attempt(['username' => 'jdoe', 'password' => '12345']));          $mockedgroup = $this->mock(group::class);         $mockedgroup->shouldreceive('getname')->once()->andreturn('admin');          $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('newinstance')->andreturnself();         $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('newcollection')->andreturn([$mockedgroup]);      } } 

this part adds admin group user mock

$mockedgroup = $this->mock(group::class); $mockedgroup->shouldreceive('getname')->once()->andreturn('admin');  $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('newinstance')->andreturnself(); $mockedbuilder->shouldreceive('newcollection')->andreturn([$mockedgroup]);
