Description:

Getting an error from InteractsWithPages saying Call to a member function selectLink() on null when trying to run a browser kit test. Looks like crawler is null on the class at that point.

vagrant@homestead:~/projects/foobar$ phpunit --filter ContinueTest

ERRORS!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 2, Errors: 1.

Steps To Reproduce:

• On a fresh install of Laravel 6.14.0
• Ran composer require laravel/browser-kit-testing --dev as in the documentation.

Test looks like this:

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;

class ContinueTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testContinue()
    {
        $this->get('/')->assertResponseOk()->see('Continue');

        $this->click('Continue');
    }
}

The parent Tests\TestCase class looks like this:

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Laravel\BrowserKitTesting\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication;

    public $baseUrl = 'http://localhost';
}

The test should use visit() and not get():

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;

class ContinueTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testContinue()
    {
        $this->visit('/')->assertResponseOk()->see('Continue');

        $this->click('Continue');
    }
}

What if I want to check redirect and click in one test?

visit doesn't see redirect, but click requires visit
