How to unit test?

[cshanejennings]

I'm using PHPUnit to test MyModel and assuming MyModel is correctly implemented and the installation instructions were followed, is this how I would test the model in theory?

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\MyModel;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use OwenIt\Auditing\Models\Audit;
use Tests\TestCase;

class AuditingTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function test_it_tracks_changes_to_my_model()
    {
        $myModel = MyModel::create([
            'name' => 'foo',
            'value' => 'bar'
        ]);
        $myModel->update(['value' => 'Updated value']);
        $audit = Audit::where('auditable_id', $myModel->id)
            ->where('auditable_type', MyModel::class);
        $this->assertNotNull($audit); // is failing

        $audit = $myModel->audits()->first();
        $this->assertNotNull($audit); // is also failing
    }
}

I ask because $this->assertNotNull($audit); is telling me $audit is null, I can go through the list of things I have tried if necessary, but it's quite a long list (been at this for almost 2 days now). I'm wondering if there's a list of usual suspects with regards to this working in a testing environment and / or am I doing this correct? I couldn't find examples of unit tests, are these possible with this library?

Switching that to true worked, thank you!
