Description

I have a basic test checking whether the logout occurs successfully in the application:

it('should be able to logout', function () {
    $user = User::factory()->create();

    test()->actingAs($user);

    $this->assertAuthenticatedAs($user);

    $this->get(route('logout'))
        ->assertSessionHasNoErrors()
        ->assertRedirect(route('login'));

    $this->assertGuest();
});

Along with the application, I also have an observer linked to the User model:

#[ObservedBy(UserObserver::class)]
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Billable;
    use HasFactory;
    use Notifiable;

    // ...
}

class UserObserver
{
    public function updated(User $user): void
    {
        if (!$user->hasStripeId()) {
            return;
        }

        dispatch(fn () => $user->syncStripeCustomerDetails());
    }
}

When I run the test, I get an error because stripe_id does not exist as a property defined anywhere in the model:

Steps To Reproduce

1. Replicate the description given above without setting stripe_id as a property.

Fix: #1706

[crynobone]

stripe_id should be accessed via Model attribute. Probably best to include failing tests for this use case.

[crynobone]

This can be solved by:

1. Adding default stripe_id value to null on UserFactory class.
2. Refresh the $user after $user = User::factory()->create(); to avoid using actingAs() removing $user->wasRecentlyCreated to false and causing MissingAttributeException with strict eloquent setup.
