php - Use existing migrations tables for laravel unit testing -

i want use existing set of migrations create tables me stuff seed data into. using orchestra testbench testing. examples this show creating table on fly:

db::schema()->create('oauth_identities', function($table) {...

but want use existing migrations.

testcase.php:

use orchestra\testbench\testcase orchestratestcase;  abstract class testcase extends orchestratestcase {     protected function getbasepath()     {         // reset base path point our package's src directory         return __dir__ . '/../vendor/orchestra/testbench/fixture';     } } 

dbtestcase.php:

class dbtestcase extends testcase { protected $artisan;

/*  * bootstrap application  */ public function setup() {     parent::setup();      $this->artisan = $this->app->make('illuminate\contracts\console\kernel');      $this->artisan('migrate', [             '--database' => 'testbench',             '--realpath' => realpath(__dir__.'/../database/migrations'),         ]     );  }  protected function getenvironmentsetup($app) {     parent::getenvironmentsetup($app);      $app['config']->set('database.default', 'testbench');     $app['config']->set('database.connections.testbench', [             'driver'   => 'sqlite',             'database' => ':memory:',             'prefix'   => ''         ]     ); } 

usertest.php:

class usertest extends dbtestcase {     use databasemigrations;     private function seeduser()    {         return [            'email' => 'myemail',             ...        ];        ...    }  ... public function testcreateuser() {     $user = user::create($this->seeduser());      die(print_r($user));      ... 

error:

in \app\tests\usertest::testcreateuser general error: 1 no such table: users

but in migrations, creating table:

schema::create('users', function (blueprint $table) {...

so how can use existing migration tables , generate seed data migration?

edit: when running phpunit after setting db driver in dbtestcase, 'driver' => 'sqlite',, throws error:

class 'doctrine\dbal\driver\pdosqlite\driver' not found in .../database/sqliteconnection.php

navigating sqliteconnection.php, pdosqlite in use doctrine\dbal\driver\pdosqlite\driver doctrinedriver; highlighted in red, saying it's undefined namespace.

i have available driver in database.php:

database.php:

'default' => env('db_connection', 'mysql'),  'connections' => [      'sqlite' => [         'driver'   => 'sqlite',         'database' => storage_path('database.sqlite'),         'prefix'   => '',     ], 

in case using laravel 5 can set test cases use data migrations this:

<?php  use illuminate\foundation\testing\withoutmiddleware; use illuminate\foundation\testing\databasemigrations; use illuminate\foundation\testing\databasetransactions;  class exampletest extends testcase {     use databasemigrations;      /**      * basic functional test example.      *      * @return void      */     public function testbasicexample()     {         $this->visit('/')              ->see('laravel 5');     } } 

by using databasemigration trait database migrated before each test case , rolled after it. please remember if try testing same data in different test cases.
