"The command 'migrate:Fresh' does not exist." in a unit test (phpunit) in Laravel

Question

I am creating unit tests on my system using Sqlite (in memory), but whenever I try to run them, they return the error:

1) Tests\Unit\UserTest::testUserCreate
Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\CommandNotFoundException: The command "migrate:fresh" does not exist.

/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Console/Application.php:178
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/Kernel.php:264
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/PendingCommand.php:136
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/PendingCommand.php:220
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/Concerns/InteractsWithConsole.php:56
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/DatabaseMigrations.php:16
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/TestCase.php:109
/var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Testing/TestCase.php:72
/var/www/html/tests/TestCase.php:24

The classes used to do the tests are like this:

Usertest.php

<?php

namespace Tests\Unit;

use App\Domains\UserDomain;
use App\Models\User;
use Tests\TestCase;

class UserTest extends TestCase
{

    private $userDomain;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::setUp();
        $this->userDomain = app('App\Domains\UserDomain');
    }

    public function testUserCreate()
    {
        $userFactory = factory(User::class)->make();

        $userData = [
            'name' => $userFactory->name,
            'email' => $userFactory->email,
            'password' => '123456',
        ];

        $user = $this->userDomain->create($userData);

        $this->assertInstanceOf(User::class, $userFactory);
        $this->assertEquals($userData['name'], $userFactory->name);
        $this->assertEquals($userData['email'], $userFactory->email);
        $this->assertTrue(!empty($user->password));

    }
}

OBS: "Userdomain" is the layer responsible for user-related business rules. The "create" function creates the user’s model and inserts it into the database (basically a User::create(['name' => name, 'email' => email, 'password' => password]));

Testcase.php

<?php
namespace Tests;

use Faker\Factory as Faker;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

/**
 * Class TestCase
 * @package Tests
 * @runTestsInSeparateProcesses
 * @preserveGlobalState disabled
 */
abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication, DatabaseTransactions, DatabaseMigrations;
    protected $faker;
    /**
     * Set up the test
     */
    public function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();
        $this->faker = Faker::create();
    }
    /**
     * Reset the migrations
     */
    public function tearDown(): void
    {
        $this->artisan('migrate:reset');
        parent::tearDown();
    }
}

Answer 1

Try using Laravel’s "Refreshdatabase" trait.

<?php

namespace Tests\Unit;

use App\Domains\UserDomain;
use App\Models\User;
use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class UserTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    private $userDomain;

    ...

}
