Multiple uses statements influence working of test suite

[Joucke]

I added a new line in my Pest.php, below uses(TestCase::class)->in('Feature');:
uses(RefreshDatabase::class)->in('Feature');

Like suggested in https://pestphp.com/docs/underlying-test-case/

After some debugging, with no functionality from TestCase::class, I figured out I had to combine these, or else the latter will override the former, leaving TestCase functionality out of my tests.

This gave me errors like

InvalidArgumentException
Unable to locate factory for [App\Category].

and

Error
Call to undefined method Tests\Feature\AddingStatementsToCategoriesTest::get()

when trying to use pestphp on Laravel 7.

I fixed it all this way:

uses(TestCase::class, RefreshDatabase::class)->in('Feature');

Maybe the documentation could be clearer about this, or I'm just stupid for trying ;-).

You are not stupid :)
Indeed I think we could improve the doc clarity on that point.

You can submit a revised version of the documentation page, just click the "Edit this page" link on the top right 🙂

If you prefer, you can also open an issue with your edit suggestion on the Pest website repo: https://github.com/pestphp/website and I'll be happy to edit/publish it into the doc.

Thanks!

The documentation should now be clearer about the correct usage of uses() : Underlying Test Case.
