Jwt-auth: auth driver [jwt] for guard [api] not defined

[Chris1904]

Subject of the issue

When running a post request inside a unit test,

$response = $this->post(route('teams.store'), ['name' => $teamName]);

it would throw an error saying

auth driver [jwt] for guard [api] not defined

For some reason, it appears that the service provider was not loaded that extends to include the JWT functionality. After I manually include

Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,

into config/app.php the unit test passes.

What is also important to mention is that when I run those same requests through Postman, I receive correct responses including the access_token.

Am I missing anything within my test suite?

Thanks for this awesome package!

Encountered the same issue, after a bit of research it seems to be related to test config files being cached, files are located in bootstrap/cache:

• config.phpunit.php
• events.phpunit.php
• packages.phpunit.php
• services.phpunit.php

Have a look here for further info :

Personnaly, manually deleting those files and running tests again fixed the problem. Fixes are proposed in the thread
