Laravel 5.4 JSON Contains Macro

Update 2017-02-10:

A new assertJsonFragment() function has been added to laravel/framework to replace the old seeJsonContains() function.

---

If you want to get your tests updated for Laravel 5.4, and need a quick patch for the missing assertJsonContains(), here's a macro that you can place in the createApplication() function, either in  your tests/CreatesApplication.php trait or your tests/TestCase.php file, depending on how your test folder is setup.

TestResponse::macro('assertJsonContains', 
    function (array $data) {
        $actual = json_encode(Arr::sortRecursive(
            (array) $this->decodeResponseJson()
        ));

        foreach (Arr::sortRecursive($data) as $key => $value) {
            $expected = substr(json_encode([$key => $value]), 1, -1);

            PHPUnit::assertTrue(
                Str::contains($actual, $expected),
                'Unable to find JSON fragment'.PHP_EOL.
                "[{$expected}]".PHP_EOL.
                'within'.PHP_EOL.
                "[{$actual}]."
            );
        }

        return $this;
    });

You'll also want the following use statements

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert as PHPUnit;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestResponse;
