Instructions

Database Test

php
<?php

namespace Tests\Integration;

use CodeIgniter\Test\CIDatabaseTestCase;

class UserModelTest extends CIDatabaseTestCase
{
    protected $seed = 'TestSeeder';
    protected $basePath = 'tests/database';

        $model = new UserModel();
        $user = $model->where('email', 'test@example.com')->first();

$result = $this->withHeaders(['Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $token])
    ->post('/api/users', ['name' => 'John'])
    ->json();

$this->assertEquals(201, $result->getStatusCode());
