Laravel exception when I try to create a test for a link with PestPHP

Question

I have that kind of problem when I try to create a test for a Link:

Xdebug has detected a possible infinite loop, and aborted your script with a stack depth of '256' frames

$response = $this->get('/odata/dim_regions');

Error details:

I'm using PestPHP.

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

You're asking Request to clone its $request property inside the __clone method. That's infinite recursion.

You don't need to override it, or you can always write $this->request = $this; after every property.
