How to write unit test cases for session variables in laravel 5.4

Hello I have a test case which will call a route and it will return some data if the session will set. Here is my test case

class TestControllerTest extends TestCase
{
    // ...

    public function testResponseOfJson()
    {
        $response = $this->call('GET', 'profile/test');
        $this->assertEmpty( !$response );
    }

    // ...
}

and here is my controller

Class TestController{
   public function sendResponse(Request $request){
     $this->data['user_id'] = $this->request->session()->get('userdata.userid'); 
if($this->data['userid']){
   return data;
}
else{ 
   return Failed;
     }
   }
}

My routes.php

Route::get('profile/test',['uses'=>'TestController@sendResponse']);

how can i set the session variable userdata.userid and get while doing unit testing.

Please check this page.

Laravel gives you the capability of using withSession chain method and other functions that will help you test where a session is required or needs to be manipulated in some way.

Example:

<?php

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testApplication()
    {
        $response = $this->withSession(['foo' => 'bar'])
                         ->get('/');
    }
}
