Laravel Feature test: The user is not authenticated Failed asserting that false is true

Question

I am trying to test the user registration, the test file came with laravel jetstream, I just added some additional fields, and I kept getting this error The user is not authenticated Failed asserting that false is true., please anyone with any idea what's wrong should help. User authentication login is working fine but registrationTest keep spitting this error

     • Tests\Feature\RegistrationTest > new users can register
  The user is not authenticated
   Failed asserting that false is true.

Answering in case someone else comes looking.

The default user in the Registration test and the default user in the DatabaseSeeder have the same email so the test fails. Just change the email in the seeder or the test.
