TASKS 14: Final Review, Testing & Deployment Prep - RadLeoOFC/laravel-admin-panel GitHub Wiki

Final Review, Testing & Deployment Prep Report

Objective

The objective of this task was to ensure that the project is clean, functional, and ready for deployment. This involved code cleanup, testing, documentation updates, and final version tagging.

1. Commented-Out Code, Unused Routes, or Placeholders Removal

There were no commented-out code, unused routes, or placeholders initially. However, the second meaning of placeholders refers to an input field. In the files resources\views\products\create.blade.php and resources\views\products\edit.blade.php, an extra input field was originally present. This field was initially used for testing but lost its purpose after the creation of app\Http\Controllers\CategoryController.php and the category-related Blade files:

  • resources\views\categories\create.blade.php
  • resources\views\categories\edit.blade.php
  • resources\views\categories\index.blade.php

Before Removing the Extra Input Field

Final Conclusion: The unnecessary placeholder input field was successfully removed, leading to a more streamlined product creation and editing process.

2. Testing

2.1. Running Laravel Tests

All Laravel tests were executed to ensure the existing functionality was intact. The test suite was run using php artisan test.

2.2. Membership Creation Test

A test was written and executed to verify that a membership can be created successfully.

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\Desk;
use App\Models\Membership;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class MembershipTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function test_membership_can_be_created()
    {
        // Create a test user
        $user = User::factory()->create();
        
        // Create a desk with 'available' status
        $desk = Desk::factory()->create(['status' => 'available']);

        // Authenticate the user and create a membership
        $response = $this->actingAs($user)->post(route('memberships.store'), [
            'user_id' => $user->id,
            'desk_id' => $desk->id,
            'membership_type' => 'monthly',
            'start_date' => now()->toDateString(),
            'end_date' => now()->addMonth()->toDateString(),
            'price' => 200
        ]);

        // Expect a redirect (302) to the membership list page
        $response->assertRedirect(route('memberships.index'));

        // Verify that the record exists in the database
        $this->assertDatabaseHas('memberships', [
            'user_id' => $user->id,
            'desk_id' => $desk->id,
            'membership_type' => 'monthly',
        ]);

        // Ensure that the redirect actually leads to the correct page
        $this->followRedirects($response)->assertSee('Memberships');
    }

    public function test_cannot_create_membership_when_desk_is_already_booked()
    {
        // Create two users
        $user1 = User::factory()->create();
        $user2 = User::factory()->create();

        // Create a desk
        $desk = Desk::factory()->create(['status' => 'available']);

        // The first user books the desk
        $this->actingAs($user1)->post(route('memberships.store'), [
            'user_id' => $user1->id,
            'desk_id' => $desk->id,
            'membership_type' => 'monthly',
            'start_date' => now()->toDateString(),
            'end_date' => now()->addMonth()->toDateString(),
            'price' => 200
        ])->assertRedirect(route('memberships.index'));

        // Verify that the membership has been added
        $this->assertDatabaseHas('memberships', [
            'user_id' => $user1->id,
            'desk_id' => $desk->id,
        ]);

        // The second user tries to book the same desk
        $response = $this->actingAs($user2)->post(route('memberships.store'), [
            'user_id' => $user2->id,
            'desk_id' => $desk->id,
            'membership_type' => 'monthly',
            'start_date' => now()->toDateString(),
            'end_date' => now()->addMonth()->toDateString(),
            'price' => 200
        ]);

        // Expect a redirect back to the form with an error message
        $response->assertSessionHasErrors();

        // Ensure that there is only ONE membership for this desk in the database
        $this->assertEquals(1, Membership::where('desk_id', $desk->id)->count());
    }
}

Screenshot: Membership_Test

Successful test of membership creation

2.3. Desk Availability Test

A test was created and executed to confirm that desk availability logic works correctly.

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;
use App\Models\Desk;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class DeskAvailabilityTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function test_desk_is_not_available_when_booked()
    {
        // Create a desk with the status set to 'occupied'
        $desk = Desk::factory()->create(['status' => 'occupied']);

        // Check that the desk is not available
        $isAvailable = $desk->status === 'available';

        $this->assertFalse($isAvailable);
    }

    public function test_desk_is_available_by_default()
    {
        // Create a desk without specifying a status
        $desk = Desk::factory()->create();
    
        // Verify that the desk is created with the default status 'available'
        $this->assertEquals('available', $desk->status);
    }
    
}

Screenshot: Desk_Test

Successful test of desks availability logic

2.3. Issues & Findings

Screenshot: the failed test here

Unsuccessful test of desks availability logic

The test desk is available by default failed because the factory DeskFactory.php randomly assigns the status occupied instead of available. This is not an error in the code but a feature of the testing logic._

Conclusion

  • The issue is not related to the application logic.
  • The test cannot reliably pass due to the random status assignment.

Possible solutions:

  • Modify the test to validate the correctness of any assigned status instead of expecting available by default.
  • Explicitly set available as the default status in the factory (if allowed by the project requirements).

So, the test failure is due to test logic, not a bug in the system.
