Problems testing Passport with actingAsClient

[SuperDJ]

While testing locally I noticed that I got an 403 error even though I was using Passport::actingAsClient(). That error occurs because there is no $user and no bearerToken() provided. But I did notice that auth()?->client() returned the Passport::actingAsClient() Client instance.

So I'm hoping that with this change testing works as expected. It should now check for either the bearerToken() or the loggedin Client provided by Passport::actingAsClient().

While my experience with Passport is limited, the changes you are proposing here so far make sense. (Edit: except that, as parallels999 has said, the proposed checks are already in the code, elsewhere)

Are you satisfied that these changes have resolved the testing problem you were encountering?

@drbyte I reset the file to the current situation and run the tests, they failed. Than changed it with this change and they passed.

I did wonder if for the sake of readability the if statement should become a method?

getPassportClient already checks client(), Maybe you are doing something wrong in your tests, it would be great if you published an example, maybe your problem can be fixed without changing the library https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/c66c0de99a95a88288507fa96676b89625f54488/src/Guard.php#L91-L93 https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/c66c0de99a95a88288507fa96676b89625f54488/src/Guard.php#L95 https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/c66c0de99a95a88288507fa96676b89625f54488/src/Guard.php#L81-L106

It seems that this was expected, they added a dump bearer for testing There is always supposed to be a passport bearer header, is that correct? laravel/passport#passing-the-access-token https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/c66c0de99a95a88288507fa96676b89625f54488/tests/TestCase.php#L275-L277 Also passport does the same on their tests, look their code laravel/passport/CheckClientCredentialsTest.php#L44-L49 laravel/passport/search?q=Bearer%20token

auth()?->client() returned the Passport::actingAsClient() Client instance.

not always, depends on default guard, maybe you forget the guard

Passport::actingAsClient($YOUR_CLIENT, [], 'guard_name_here');

Also add guard on middleware Source: laravel/passport/Passport.php#L385

@parallels999 the way I handle Passport::actingAsClient is like the following:

// Some test
public function test()
{
   $this->actingAsClient();
}

// Passport actingAsClient wrapper method
protected function actingAsClient( client = null, $permissions = null )
    {
        if( !$client )
        {
            $client = Client::factory()->create();
        }
        Passport::actingAsClient(
            $client,
            [ '*' ]
        );

        if( $permissions )
        {
            $this->assignRole(<some params>);
        }

        return $this;
    }

From what I understand is that Passport::actingAsClient simulates a client being loggedin. So to me that is assuming that a bearer token is being passed. Unfortunately that appears not to be the case.

That example doesn't help much. I can't see how you call the middlewares, I can't guess what code you used

You could try to make a PR to Passport so that it adds the dummy bearer token automatically
