php - Laravel 5: Model->fill() ignores $fillable property in unit tests -

i have user controller following validation rules:

public function store(request $request) {     ...     $this->validate($request, [         'name' => 'required',         'email' => 'email|required|unique:users',         'password' => 'confirmed|max:32|min:8|required',         'roles' => 'exists:roles,id|required',     ]);      $user = new user();     $user->fill($request->all());    ... } 

my user.php model defines fillable properties as:

protected $fillable = ['name', 'email']; 

to pass confirmed validation, have send both password , password_confirmation fields in post request.

during development works fine, in unit tests i'm getting database error. tries insert data password_confirmation column. it's ignores $fillable array.

i know "laravel losts event handlers between tests" bug/issue (https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1181). think maybe i'm missing call model function aside model::boot() (i'm calling user::boot() in test's setup() function).

thanks,

edit

reading model.php source, i've found calling model::unguard() https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.1/src/illuminate/database/eloquent/model.php#l2180 after setup() function , before test. if call user::reguard() @ beggining of test passes, (i don't know why), unguard() , reguard() functions called multiple times , test gets slow.

found problem: base seeder in v5.0.x called model::unguard() (https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/v5.0.22/database/seeds/databaseseeder.php#l15) while v5.1.x updated , added call model::reguard() (https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/v5.1.0/database/seeds/databaseseeder.php#l19) (i using v5.0.22).
