How do I get migrations to work when testing within a Package (not an Application)

[mv12ks]

I have a Laravel package that uses spatie/laravel-permission. I want to test my permissions. I copied the migration stub to the migrations folder of my package to create the tables.

Laravel 10.
PHP 8.2
Package: 5.10

In my tests, I want to run my seeder that inserts some roles and permissions into the tables. The service provider of my package registers the migrations like so:

public function register() : void
{
    $this->loadMigrationsFrom(__DIR__ . '/../database/migrations');
}

My test case looks like this:

class PermissionsTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    /** @testdox .... */
    public function test_some_permission() : void
    {
        $this->seed(RolesAndPermissionsSeeder::class);

        // ... assertions
    }

    /**
     * Prepare the testing environment.
     *
     * @param \Illuminate\Foundation\Application $app
     * @return void
     */
    protected function getEnvironmentSetUp($app) : void
    {
        $app['config']->set('database.default', 'testing');
        $app['config']->set('database.connections.testing', [
            'driver'   => 'sqlite',
            'database' => ':memory:',
            'prefix'   => '',
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * The migrations to load prior to testing.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function defineDatabaseMigrations() : void
    {
        $this->loadLaravelMigrations();
    }
}

This test does not run. As soon as I comment out the loadMigrationsFrom method, the error dissapears. I think it might be because the migration uses config(), but I am not getting an error message, not even when using $this->withoutExceptionHandling();.

Any tips as to where to start debugging this, or any fix?

Laravel version? package version? php version?

These do not work, I've tested them just now.

It is because the config is not present because it is a package.

I can do this in my test case OR service provider and it fixes it:

private function setLaravelPermissionSettings() : void
{
    config()->set('permission.teams', false);

    config()->set('permission.models', [
        'permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Models\Permission::class,
        'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Models\Role::class,
    ]);

    config()->set('permission.table_names', [
        'roles' => 'roles',
        'permissions' => 'permissions',
        'model_has_roles' => 'model_has_roles',
        'model_has_permissions' => 'model_has_permissions',
        'role_has_permissions' => 'role_has_permissions',
    ]);

    config()->set('permission.column_names', [
        'role_pivot_key' => null,
        'permission_pivot_key' => null,
        'model_morph_key' => 'model_id',
        'team_foreign_key' => 'team_id',
    ]);
}

This works, but it is really hacky. Anyone with a better solution?

Did you try adding

/**
 * @param  \Illuminate\Foundation\Application  $app
 * @return array
 */
protected function getPackageProviders($app)
{
    return [
        \Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider::class,
    ];
}

This worked, thanks. A lot cleaner than setting the config values manually.
