Unit testing	1

In your application's tests, if you are not seeding roles and permissions as part of your test setUp() then you may run into a chicken/egg situation where roles and permissions aren't registered with the gate (because your tests create them after that gate registration is done). Working around this is simple: In your tests simply add a setUp() instruction to re-register the permissions, like this:

    public function setUp(): void
    {
        // first include all the normal setUp operations
        parent::setUp();

        // now re-register all the roles and permissions
        $this->app->make(\Spatie\Permission\PermissionRegistrar::class)->registerPermissions();
    }
