'PHPUNIT Test - Expected Status 200 But Received 500

I keep getting status 500 when 200 is expected. These are the files:

ExampleTest.php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    /**
     * A basic test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testBasicTest()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/');

        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

laravel phpunit

Solution 1:^[1]

Try to use RefreshDatabase trait in the test class:

use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function testBasicTest()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/');

        $response->assertStatus(200);
    }
}

Solution 2:^[2]

One possible cause of this error message is, you don't have the openssl php extension enabled.

Solution 3:^[3]

just edit your class to return true

namespace Tests\Feature;
use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
    
class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    /**
    * A basic test example.
    *
    * @return void
    */
    public function testBasicTest()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(true);
    }
}

then run test in your command

vendor/bin/phpunit

Solution 4:^[4]

add $this->withoutExceptionHandling(); before $response = $this->get('/'); to get more information about the error.

Solution 5:^[5]

Do check with your routes. Check if you have provided 'name' to your base route.

eg: In routes/web.php, Do the following:

Route::get('home','BlogController@home')->name('home');

Now go to the test case and do replace the following code:

$response = $this->get('home');

Let me know if it works for you.
