Below is the validation language line we want to test, I added it to the array in resources/lang/en/validation.php.
<?php
return [
// ...
'empty_unless' => 'The :attribute must be empty unless :other is :value.',
// ...
];
We want to make sure the replacements values passed in for :other and :value are included in the validation message. Below are the tests.
<?php
namespace Tests\Unit;
use Tests\TestCase;
class ValidationLanguageLinesTest extends TestCase
{
// ...
/** @test */
public function a_replacement_for__other__can_be_passed_to_the_empty_unless_validation_message()
{
self::assertStringContainsString(
'tentative value for OTHER',
trans(
'validation.empty_unless',
['other' => 'tentative value for OTHER'],
'en'
)
);
self::assertStringContainsString(
'tentative value for OTHER',
trans(
'validation.empty_unless',
['other' => 'tentative value for OTHER'],
'fr'
)
);
}
/** @test */
public function a_replacement_for__value__can_be_passed_to_the_empty_unless_validation_message()
{
self::assertStringContainsString(
'tentative value for VALUE',
trans(
'validation.empty_unless',
['other' => 'tentative value for VALUE'],
'en'
)
);
self::assertStringContainsString(
'tentative value for VALUE',
trans(
'validation.empty_unless',
['other' => 'tentative value for VALUE'],
'fr'
)
);
}
// ...
}
And there you have it! If you think this approach can be improved in any way, please leave a comment below, will be happy to hear it.
