NOTE: This is based off a video titled "Testing Email With Custom Assertions" that Jeffrey Way did on Laracasts.com. If you do not have an account on that site, then you should make one. It is an amazing resource. We have just taken that example & made it an easy to install package. Thanks Jeffrey!

PHPUnit mail assertions for testing email in Laravel.

Branch	Status	Coverage	Code Quality
Develop
Master

Install the package:

    $ composer require spinen/laravel-mail-assertions

In order for the package to be able to make assertions on your emails, it has to be able to "read" the messages. It does so by parsing the laravel log, so your mail driver has to be "log" for this package to function.

You mixin the assertions with the Spinen\MailAssertions\MailTracking trait. You get the following assertions...

• seeEmailBcc
• seeEmailCc
• seeEmailContains
• seeEmailContentTypeEquals
• seeEmailCountEquals
• seeEmailDoesNotContain
• seeEmailEquals
• seeEmailFrom
• seeEmailPriorityEquals
• seeEmailReplyTo
• seeEmailSubjectContains
• seeEmailSubjectDoesNotContain
• seeEmailSubjectEquals
• seeEmailTo
• seeEmailWasNotSent
• seeEmailWasSent

NOTE: If there was more than 1 email sent, then the assertions look at the last email.
