<p>I'm trying to make the pest test files easier to read. </p> <p>Currently, I have some standard tests: </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">test('can get subscribers latest subscription', function () { $this->seed(PlansTestSeeder::class); $this->seed(SubscriptionsTestSeeder::class); $this->assertDatabaseCount('plans', 2); $this->assertDatabaseCount('subscriptions', 0); Subscription::factory()->create([ "plan_id" => Plan::where("slug", "bronze")->first()->id ]); Subscription::factory()->create([ "plan_id" => Plan::where("slug", "silver")->first()->id ]); Subscription::factory()->create([ "plan_id" => Plan::where("slug", "silver")->first()->id, "status" => "expired" ]); Subscription::factory()->trashed()->create(); $this->assertDatabaseCount('subscriptions', 4); }); test('can get subscribers active subscriptions', function () { $this->seed(PlansTestSeeder::class); $this->seed(SubscriptionsTestSeeder::class); $silverPlan = Plan::where("slug", "silver")->first(); $subscription1 = Subscription::factory()->create([ "plan_id" => Plan::where("slug", "silver")->first()->id, "subscriber_id" => 1, "subscriber_type" => "ApresourcingFramework\Billing\Tests\Models\Subscriber", "created_at" => now()->subDays(2), "started_at" => now()->subDays(2) ]); $subscription2 = Subscription::factory()->create([ "plan_id" => $silverPlan->id, "subscriber_id" => 1, "subscriber_type" => "ApresourcingFramework\Billing\Tests\Models\Subscriber", "created_at" => now()->subDays(1), "started_at" => now()->subDays(1) ]); $user = Subscriber::find(1); $subscription = $user->latestSubscription(); expect($subscription->id)->toBe($subscription2->id); });</pre> <p>But to remind myself which tests I wrote, I have to scroll up and down the page over and over again.</p> <p>What I want to do is change it to something like this: </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">test('can get subscribers latest subscription', getLatestSubscription()); test('can get subscribers active subscriptions', getActiveSubscriptions()); function getLatestSubscription() { /// function code here }); function getActiveSubscriptions() { // function code here });</pre> <p>However, the test function contains a reference to $this which is available in the normal closure but not in the standard function because I set it there. </p> <p>Edit: I'm using the laravel pest plugin - I'm not sure if this has an impact on the use of $this</p> <p>Is there any way to solve this problem? </p>
