I am trying to test my View Composers. Whenever I pass an object to the $view->with('string', $object), my test fails. This is when I do the test like this:

$view
 ->shouldReceive('with')
 ->with('favorites', $this->user->favorites(Ad::class)->get())
 ->once();

I'm pretty sure this is due to strict checking. So I looked around and saw this issue. However, I can't seem to get it working. The closure return true, but the test fails:

MockeryExceptionInvalidCountException : Method with('favorites',
< Closure===true >) from Mockery_3_Illuminate_View_View should be called
exactly 1 times but called 0 times.

Here is my current test

public function it_passes_favorites_to_the_view()

 $this->setUpUser(); // basically sets $this->user to a User object

 Auth::shouldReceive('user')
 ->once()
 ->andReturn($this->user);

 $composer = new FavoritesComposer();

 $view = Mockery::spy(View::class);

 $view
 ->shouldReceive('with')
 ->with('favorites', Mockery::on(function($arg) 
 $this->assertEquals($this->user->favorites(Ad::class)->get(), $arg);
 ))
 ->once();

 $composer->compose($view);

FavoritesComposer class:

public function compose(View $view)

 $user = Auth::user();

 $favorites = $user 
 ? $user->favorites(Ad::class)->get()
 : collect();

 $view->with('favorites', $favorites);

How do I test object like this?

I fixed the issue by replacing $view->with('favorites', $favorites); with $view->with(['favorites' => $favorites]); and then testing it like this:

$view
 ->shouldReceive('with')
 ->with(['favorites' => $this->user->favorites(Ad::class)->get()])
 ->once();

So, essentially using only one parameter in the with()-method is what fixed it for me.
