I build an Artisan Command to receive data from a socket, and I want to write a unit-testing for this command but I'm not sure how to write such a test.

It is much easier now:
<?php
class YourCommandTest extends TestCase
public function testExample()
$this->artisan('command', ['param' => 'value']);

Where is your assertion ? What do you assert for ?
– Mkey
Mar 8 '18 at 11:57
That will depend entirely on what you want to happen. There would be a setup before the$this->artisan()call and the assertions after it.

@Mkey My use case was to create X DB records using factories before $this->artisan. Then after I assert X jobs were queued.

Example of test
<?php
class 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);

Found this approach simple and useful for acceptance testing. However, it will not register code coverage for the command itself.

I run tests with option--coverage-htmlto generate coverage report:phpunit --coverage-html coverage_path. And I see coverage of methods what called inside command.

@alariva, we have identical versions of phpunit and laravel. I think, problem may be with settings inphpunit.xml.
